Signal

Each frame contains an arbitrary number of signals, which are the basic data exchange units on the network. These signals are equivalent to NI-CAN channels.

Some of the signal properties are:

  • Start bit: signal start position within the frame
  • Number of bits: signal length within the frame
  • Data type: data type (signed, unsigned, or float)
  • Byte order: little or big endian
  • Scaling factor and offset: for converting physical data to binary representation
