To communicate with hardware products on the external CAN/FlexRay network, NI-XNET applications must understand how that hardware communicates in the actual embedded system, such as the vehicle. This embedded communication is described within a standardized file, such as CANdb (.dbc) or NI-CAN (.ncd) for CAN, or FIBEX (.xml) for FlexRay. Within NI-XNET, this file is referred to as a database. The database contains many object classes, each of which describes a distinct entity in the embedded system. Use the XNET Database I/O name to select a database, access properties, and invoke methods (for example, save).
