Vector CAN DBC - Import in C185

[koushik_turbo]

Hello There,

I am using a C185 Logger and I have a question regarding Import of a DBC File into C185 Dash Manager.

I would like to know does Motec interpret the "Factor" and "Offset" of a standard Vector DBC file ?

How is the " Multiplier ", "Divisor" and "Adder" is populated after importing a vector DBC file.

What is the mathematical relationship behind ?

Looking forward for your inputs.

Please write only if you know the proper answer and dont BS around, this will just clog up the thread.

Cheers

In the Dash the channel value is calculated as
(Raw CAN Value x Multiplier / Divisor + Adder) x Base Resolution

The dbc import works out a whole number fraction and adder to best represent the factor/offset of the dbc file given the resolution of the channel and the channel range (number of bits).

Thank you Adrian.

That helped.
