CAN

Introduction

The CAN Nodes provide a means for the user to perform several actions within the CAN messaging protocol. CAN, or Controller Area Network, allows for communication among different devices, such as different electronic parts of a vehicle. To use the CAN Nodes in Incari, the user needs to locate the CAN Attributes in Project Settings and upload a DBC file.

It is worth noting that Incari supports both the base (or standard) frame format and the extended frame format.
