Compare DBC Files

Post by yhadad » Fri 26. Apr 2019, 17:02

Hello,

Is there a way that I can compare two DBC files with using PCAN Explorer 6 or PCAN Symbol Editor?

For example I have A.DBC file and updates were made to it and now it is called B.DBC file. I want to use a tool that can take both A.DBC and B.DBC and compare the two to tell me how many differences there are between the two.

The differences that I am interested in could be updated signals or added new signals

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

no, we don´t have a dbc compare tool available.

As a workaround you can convert those dbc to a more readable *.sym format with PCAN-Explorer, and use a text compare tools to see the differences.

regards

Michael
