Import DBC : J1939 Format Support

mdaigneault 5 years ago in IQANdesign • updated by Codie 6 days ago • 3

Hi IQAN Team -

It would be great if the Import DBC feature allowed to import J1939-formatted DBCs. We use this format quite often to have scaled and offset signals. However, the IQAN import feature only supports the import as Generic CAN ! I presume this is just an oversight, and should be an easy fix for the IQAN devs.

We are almost there...

Thanks !

J1939 databases should already be supported.  Can you provide an example of what you see and why this is not working for you?

This DBC question has come up in a couple of different applications. 

Some DBCs with J1939 do not get imported as JFIN/JFOUT in IQANdesign. 


I've been able to solve it by manually editing the DBC before import, changing the line

BA_DEF_DEF_ "ProtocolType" "";

to

BA_DEF_DEF_ "ProtocolType" "J1939";

Hello, I have a DBC file that only comes in as a generic as well. I checked and the A_DEF_DEF_"ProtocolType" does have the J1939 after it but it still will not come into iqan as a jFOUT or JFIN. is there any other tricks that have been found to resolve that issue? I have fixed a few DBC files this way.
