PEAK-System Forum

Hello,

Apologies in advance if this has been answered in the forum already - but I could not find a similar solution. I found solutions like a merged symbol file etc and this would not work in our case unfortunately.

The problem:
We have a board which generates specific CAN Ids on the setting off its switches. This can be considered as an offset - so for example if the base CAN Id is 02Eh and the switch setting is 03h then the CAN ID is EEh.

So is there a way to manupulate the symbol file so that the following entry can have this offset added ?
[ID Value 1]
ID=02Eh

Is there a way of achieving this in PCAN Explorer to accommodate this in a neat solution when receiving or transmitting messages? As these messages need to be generated by our PCAN Explorer instrument panel GUI (.ipf file).

I appreciate that this could be done via a VB macro - but is there a way of manipulating the Symbol to take into consideration this offset our board generates.

I appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
as i understand you like to change the Symbolfile dynamicly. This could only be done via a VBS Macro.
(change or generate a Symbol Text file, load and aply)
If you want to use only one Symbol File you need to copy/paste the section and manualy change the ID.
But to use it in the UserPanel (signal based) you need to use the VBS solution.

Regards

Thank you for confirming.

Appreciate your quick response.
