SENT Label List
For all protocols using ID or address identification, it is possible to create label lists
containing 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 "Decode results" table, containing the symbolic label.
The frame captions of the decoded signal show the symbolic label instead of the ID or
address values. Hence it is easy to identify the messages of the different bus nodes.
You can also use the label list to trigger on an identifier or address. Instead of entering
the value, you select the name, which is defined in the label list.
SENT label lists provide a useful way of translating the decoded data into user format.
The label lists are highly customizable. The format of supplying the label list description
is through a
.xml
file and is explained with an example, see
For general information on the "Label List" tab, see
