According to the set number of decoders there is a corresponding number of signal groups available in the Digital tab, which can be extended or collapsed.

Each group line stands for one decoder. You do the basic set up of the decoders in the columns of each group line.

Decoder

Enter here a comprehensible and unique name, which tells the purpose of this decoder, e.g. MainDriveStatus_#1

Signal Id

Select the analog signal which should be decoded in the Signal Id column. As long as no signal has been selected, the default setting is "Unassigned". If the signal id is unassigned the decoder cannot be activated.

Profile

In the Profile column select the profile for decoding.

If no profile is available yet, you can switch to the profile configuration dialog by clicking on <New profile...>.

Data type

The data type determines the endianess and the number of bits available in the current decoder. If you select a signal in Signal Id the data type will be adapted automatically to the data type of the signal.

  • BYTE: Provides 8 bits.

  • WORD: Provides 16 bits. WORD_B is the Big Endian variant.

  • DWORD: Provides 32 bits. DWORD_B is the Big Endian variant.

Convert to integer

If you enable this option, the selected signal will be converted to an integer before being processed.

Active

You can activate or deactivate a decoder with this option. A decoder cannot be activated if the Signal Id is "Unassigned".
