CANdb++ Admin.J1939 The Design Environment for J1939 Networks Functions > Various views (e.g. network, ECU, signal) to display and process the data > Integration of model and code generators > Comparison (difference display) and merge of databases > Import and export opportunities (DBC, XML, CSV format) for transmitting communication data to suppliers and project partners > Ensure the integrity of communication through comprehensive consistency tests A key component in the development of J1939 networks is the communication description in the form of DBC files. It serves as the foundation for all other development steps such as simulation and analysis of bus communications, configuration of the ECU software and detailed ECU tests. The DBC databases describe the properties of the J1939 network, the ECUs connected to the bus and the CAN messages and signals. CANdb++ Admin.J1939 gives users the capabilities needed to vis-ualize 2/8 the DBC databases, create new databases or modify data in existing databases. Features and Advantages The functionality specifically tailored for J1939 bus systems and the integration of the database into the Vector tool chain for J1939 makes CANdb++ Admin.J1939 an important tool for devel-opers Program Variants > The Admin Variant was developed specifically for designers of networks and communication matrices. It offers special functions: > Defining multiple networks in one database > Timing analysis > Comparing databases > The Standard Variant provides possibilities for viewing data. In addition, e.g. extra test messages can be created and mapped. The Standard Variant is delivered with CANalyzer/CANoe.J1939. of communication networks and suppliers of components. CANdb++ Admin.J1939 offers functions to draw up communica-tion matrices for complete vehicles and it enables, among other things the exposition of the signal routing via gateways and tim-ing analysis for estimating the run-time behavior of networks. In addition, the CANdb++ data model can be customized via addi-tional attributes to suit various requirements. Definition of CAN messages with J1939 specific parameters
