Hello,
I have just updated to PCAN-Explorer version 6.3.0.2034, running in MS Windows 10, 64 bits.
I wrote a simple symbol file with several types of messages: just associating labels (symbol name) to particular messages. When I create new messages in the transmit list using this symbols, at first they appear listed with their correct label, but suddenly they all change to the same label, particularly the first one in the symbol file. This is not a correct behavior, I think.
If a change the order of the symbol definition, the transmit list symbol column is updated automatically with the label of the first symbol.
This is a extract of my symbol file:
Attached there is a capture of the Explorer transmit list. As you can see, all messages are considered ECHO_TX symbols, although they are not. If I change the order of the definitions and place BC_OPEN_TX above ECHO_TX, for example, then they all are shown as BC_OPEN_TX symbols.

Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Hello dasitor,

Remove the IDMask line from your Symbol File and you should be fine. The value 0 is counterproductive for this global parameter. See PCAN-Explorer Help for details.

Thanks! That worked.
I used the PCAN Symbol Editor to generate my file and in the "CAN ID Mask" box I wrote 1FFFFFFFh. I do not understand where the "IDMask=0h" line comes from.
I have just re-done the Symbol Editor:"Save"/Explorer:"Project-Add Existing Item" sequence and the IDMask line is not generated at all!
Anyway, it is working now and I know where to look next time. Thanks again!
