Verbal Conversion Tables Tab

Verbal Conversion Tables are equivalent to enumerated or state encoded decimal lookup tables. These tables take integer value inputs and apply text description outputs to them. For example, 0 = Off, 1 = On, etc.

The Verbal Conversion Tables tab has a table to display all A2L file Verbal Conversion Tables and their properties. Each row (below the 1st filtering row) defines a Verbal Conversion Table and each column is a property. The default column configuration is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: The Verbal Conversion Tables tab in the A2L file item area.

Columns in the table can be filtered, reorganized, added, and hidden. These table features are common across all tabs in this area. To add items to the table you can:

• Drag/drop symbols from an ECU map file.
• Use the Create tool or right click menu selection.
• Import an existing A2L file.

To edit items already in the table with the Edit Verbal Conversion Tables dialog you can:

• Double click on a cell in the table.

• Use the Edit tool or right click menu selection.

Refer to Table 1 below for a description of each column on the Verbal Conversion Tables tab
