Definition of one or more CAN bus networks in one file. Assurance that the identifier (id) of a network node is unique. Assurance that there are no duplicate bus names (assures bus name uniqueness). Assurance that the references node, to identify the producer of a network message, was already created. A network transport system that transfers the data between several nodes. Human-readable name of the bus network (e.g. "Comfort"). Nominal data transfer rate in baud (e.g. 500000, 125000, 100000 or 83333). Assurance that the identifier of a network message is unique. A datagram that is used to transport payload data along the bus network. The unique identifier of the message. May have 11-bit (Standard frame format) or 29-bit (Extended frame format). The identifier is usally written in hexadecimal format e.g. 0x123. If format is "extended" this identifier includes both Base ID (11 bits) and Extended ID (18 bits). Human-readable name of the network message (e.g."OBD-Info"). Number of bytes available in the data field of the message (data length code). "auto" (default) calculate minimum length for the contained signals in the message. Repetition interval of a cyclic network message in milliseconds. Sending behavior of the network message. True, if message is triggered by signal changes. Number of repetitions of a triggered network message. 0 (default) for infine repetitions. Frame format of the network message. True, if message is a remote frame. A looping counter to make a group of signals (MuxGroup) alternately active at a time. A group of signals that is just valid when the count value of the group matches with the looping counter (Multiplex). Count value of the Multiplex when the signals of this group become valid. A set of label and label groups. Each label describes the meaning of a single raw value by an alias name. A single value can only belong to a one label or label group. A discrete part of information contained in the payload of a message. Describes the purpose of the signal and/or comments on its usage. Origin network node that is the sender of the assigned message. Network node that is a user/receiver of the assigned signal. Details of how the raw value of signal shall be interpreted. Datatype of the value e.g. "unsigned","signed" or IEE754 "single", "double". The slope "m" of a linear equation y = mx + b. The y-axis intercept "b" of a linear equation y = mx + b. Physical unit of the value written as unit term as described in "The Unified Code for Units of Measure" (http://aurora.regenstrief.org/~ucum/ucum.html) Lower validity limit of the interpreted value after using the slope/intercept equation. Upper validity limit of the interpreted value after using the slope/intercept equation. Descriptive name for a single value e.g. to describe an enumeration, mark special,invalid or error values. Signal raw value that is described here. Descriptive name for a sequence of adjacent values. Signal raw value the label group is starting with. Signal raw value the label group is ending with. An endpoint connected to the network (e.g. an electronic control unit) that is able to send messages to or receive messages from other endpoints. Unique identifier of the network node. Human-readable name of the network node (e.g. "Brake"). An endpoint connected to the network that is able to send messages to or receive messages from other endpoints. Referencing a network node by its unique identifier. Describes the scope of application e.g. the target vehicle or controlled device. The name of the network definition document. The version of the network definition document. The owner or author of the network definition document. The owner company of the network definition document. The release date of this version of the network definition document. Human-readable name for this value. Type of value: "value", "invalid" or "error". Determines if Byteorder is big-endian (Motorola), little-endian (Intel) otherwise. Bit length of the signal. Human readable name of the signal. Least significant bit offset of the signal relative to the least significant bit of the messages data payload.
