A 2nd SICOLOG is connected via CAN to a SICOLOG. To acquire the 16-bit signals from the 2nd SICOLOG by the 1st SICOLOG following steps are recommended:
1.Open the TEMES file for the 2nd SICOLOG
2.Define the input signals of the 2nd SICOLOG
3.Choose from the main menu File → Export
4.Select the TEMES CAN folder
5.Select as data type CAN Descriptions (*.can)
6.Enter a name in file name and press the Save button
7.Select path \Devices\<device>\CAN, \Devices\<device>\CAN1 or \Devices\<device>\CAN2
8.Select the just created library and add all available signals as outputs
9.Expand the CAN tree, select each CAN output signal and select the corresponding source (a 1:1 assignment is automatically chosen)
10.Optionally, select path \Devices\<device> and choose the tab General. Then, enter the correct CAN refreshing rate into the input field Calc. Cycle.
11.Save the TEMES parameter set (File → Save/Save as)
12.Open the TEMES file for the 1st SICOLOG
13.Select path \Devices\<device>\CAN, \Devices\<device>\CAN1 or \Devices\<device>\CAN2
14.Select the just created library and add all available signals as inputs
15.Save the TEMES parameter set (File → Save/Save as)
After the signal assignment of the 2nd SICOLOG is changed (= signal recalibration) then additional steps are required:
16.Choose from the main menu File → Export
17.Select the TEMES CAN folder
18.Select as data type CAN Descriptions (*.can)
19.Enter the name of the CAN Description in file name and press the Save button
20.Select path \Devices\<device>\CAN, \Devices\<device>\CAN1 or \Devices\<device>\CAN2
21.Press the Library Refresh button
22.Save the TEMES parameter set (File → Save/Save as)
23.Open the TEMES file for the 1st SICOLOG
24.Select path \Devices\<device>\CAN, \Devices\<device>\CAN1 or \Devices\<device>\CAN2
25.Press the Library Refresh button
26.Save the TEMES parameter set (File → Save/Save as)
The steps 16-26 can be avoided if a more general CAN library is created which maps its minimal physical value to bit value 0 and maximal physical value to bit value 65535. However, this approach does not use the entire 16-bit bit space of the signal.
