SDL3, how to send a CAN message with DLC 3 ?

To all,
I have a SDL3 Dash Manager and, I want to send by CAN two messages with DLC (Data Lehgth Code) 2 and 3... SDL sends all messages with DLC 8 independently on number of channels.
Where can I find a CAN template (CC7-file) with DLC 2 or 3 ?
Thank you!

The SDL3 will only transmit 8 byte messages, you can't set the DLC. Setting the DLC is only available on our current Colour Displays.

Is there a reason you want to send shorter messages? Most CAN devices will handle receiving 8 byte messages even if half the message is just zeros.
