4.23.1 NI-XNET Database Editor
The downloaded XNET driver comes with the NI-XNET Database Editor. The purpose of the NI-XNET Database
Editor is to create and maintain embedded network databases. The Database Editor is a generic embedded network
tool and hence it supports CAN, LIN and FlexRay communication protocols. Since the DI Driver System only
supports CAN interface, only CAN communication will be discussed in this document. The database editor comes
with a built-in user manual so this document will only touch on relevant features typically used in conjunction with the
DI Driver system application.

Bus EXchange) is a vendor-independent exchange format for embedded network data. It is an XML-based text
format. The Database Editor can read and write this format.
