Hi,

We have a C125 which we are hoping to combine with a 16 channel pressure scanner via CAN. We have a DBC file for the CAN pressure scanner which was provided but it won’t import to the dash manager. Would anyone take a look and help us get it talking to the logger? DBC supplied below.

Many thanks

Tim

trying to open the file in CANDB++ it is erroring on Line 22. Removing that file from the dbc just moves the syntax error to line 21 instead. Do you have the base CAN messages that should be seen?

"Version" is a reserved name in a dbc file so you can't have a signal called version. Edit the file in a text editor, on line 29 change 'VERSION" to something else (like "P16A_Version" - spaces are not allowed either) and it should load.
