Description

This node creates an XNET ECU object. It is an instance of XNET Database Create Object.

The ECU name input becomes the Name (Short) property of the created object. This is distinct from the string contained within ECU out, which uses the syntax described in XNET ECU I/O Name.

The ECU object is created and remains in memory until the database is closed. This node does not change the open database file on disk. To save the newly created object to the file, use XNET Database Save.
