PCAN-Explorer 6: CANdb Import Add-in 6
Use your existing CANdb files in PCAN-Explorer 6 instead of retyping them
Many vehicle and machine projects already describe their CAN messages in CANdb (.dbc) files. This add-in lets PCAN-Explorer 6 open those files directly, so you do not have to copy the definitions by hand into the PCAN-Explorer symbol format.
You pick which messages from the database you want to use, and the selection is kept in the PCAN-Explorer project. The data can also be saved as a PCAN-Explorer symbol file.
Highlights
- Opens CANdb (.dbc) files in PCAN-Explorer 6
- Choose which messages of the database to use
- Selection stored with the PCAN-Explorer project
- Saves to the PCAN-Explorer symbol format
Requirements
- PCAN-Explorer 6 (licensed)
- Windows 11 (x64/ARM64) or Windows 10 (x86/x64)
