Creating a Configuration with Bus Description File
With the ACT CAN and CAN FD bus description files (e.g. in CANdB format) can be assigned to
the respective CAN busses. Bus description files allow access to the signals and the possibility to
log individual signals (instead of complete messages) as well as the possibility to use signal values
(e.g. a defined engine speed) on a physical layer (e.g. 2500 rpm instead of 24 hex) as trigger. Log
files for configuration with bus description files are stored in MDF format.
