Introduction to CANdb++
This manual provides a comprehensive guide to Vector Informatik's CANdb++ software. CANdb++ is a powerful data administration program designed for creating and managing communication databases for CAN bus systems. It plays a central role in the Vector CAN tools toolbox, enabling seamless integration with other Vector tools such as CANalyzer, CANoe, CANape, and CANscope.
The software facilitates the definition, modification, and management of communication-relevant data, which can then be exported into CANdb network files (.dbc) for use by other automotive diagnostic and analysis tools. This manual covers essential aspects including the software's overview, data model, installation process, user interface elements, and detailed tutorials on creating and manipulating CAN databases.
