PDU Properties

All PDUs in a cluster are grouped together under the PDUs parent node. When you select a PDU, the properties page for that PDU is displayed in the content pane. The PDU Properties page contains the following properties:

  • Name—PDU name. This must be unique within the cluster.
  • Payload Length—Length of the payload in bytes. Maximum length is determined by protocol. The maximum for CAN is 8 bytes. For FlexRay, the maximum is 254 bytes.
  • Bit Layout—Visual element depicting the signals contained within a frame and PDU and the byte order of each signal.
  • Comment—Note or descriptive text related to this PDU. The comment is used for information only.
