Attributes can be specified for BU_Nodes, BO_Messages, and SG_Signals.
BA_ "AttributeName" "<Value>";BA_ "NodeAttributeName" BU_ NodeName "<Value>";BA_ "MessageAttributeName" BO_ 123 "<Value>";BA_ "SignalAttributeName" SG_ SignalName "<Value>";AttributeName must be defined before it can be used (see below)BA_DEF_ "<AttributeName>" <DataType> [Config];BA_DEF_ "<NodeAttributeName>" <DataType> [Config];BA_DEF_ "<MessageAttributeName>" <DataType> [Config];BA_DEF_ "<SignalAttributeName>" <DataType> [Config];BA_DEF_DEF_ "<AttributeName>" "<DefaultValue>";| Name | Description | Format |
|---|---|---|
| int | decimal integer | <minimum> <maximum> |
| float | floating point | <minimum> <maximum> |
| string | string literal | "StandardCAN" |
| enum | enumerated values | "Value1", "Value2", ... |
While the symbols are somewhat ambiguous, all attributes have 3 distinct parts:
(BU_|BO_|SG_), name, data type, and value configuration.There are three main scopes with which attributes are most commonly defined: Global (or Network), Messages, and Signals.
These are commonly used Message Attributes, which are widely accepted by industry software.
