Label List
Opens the "Label list" menu to load, sort, and display a name for each bus node instead
of the address or ID on the decoded results display. So it is easy to identify the messages
of the different bus nodes.
11.1.4 Label List
For all protocols using ID or address identification, it is possible to create label lists con-
taining addresses or IDs, a symbolic name for each node (symbolic label), and some
protocol-specific information. You can load label lists, and activate its usage for decoding.
As a result, an additional "Label" column appears in the "Frame Table", containing the
symbolic label. The frame captions of the decoded signal show the symbolic label instead
of the ID or address values so it is easy to identify the messages of the different bus
nodes.

Content and Format of the PTT File
Label lists are stored as PTT (protocol translation table) files. The PTT file format is an
extension of the CSV format (comma separated values). You can edit it with standard
editors, for example, with MS Excel or a text editor.
