DBC File Import

The DBC Import function facilitates converting Vector Can Database files (*.DBC) to the Plex Can RX Config format.
 
As the 2 formats differ in many areas a fully automatic import is not possible.
 
After selecting the *.dbc file to import, a table of the available signal/channels will be built and displayed.
The user must examine the table and possibly make corrections to the following properties:
Label: The SDM devices support a maximum length of 12 characters for the channels label so the names might have to be shortened.
Internal Units: An appropriate unit value should be chosen taking into account the DBC Units and DBC Factors
Factors: The DBC Factors contains a multiplier and offset in decimal format which has to be converted to a suitable integer equation as required that results in the value in Internal Units resolution.
