Part 2 - Enter a Transmit Message
In Tutorial 1, it was shown how to set up a receive message specification in the Messages Editor view. Returning to this view, a message will be set up to be transmitted by Vehicle Spy.
1. Open the Messages Editor Panel:
Using the custom tab set at the top of the main workspace, open the Messages Editor view. This view can also be opened by selecting Spy Networks > Messages Editor.
2. Switch to the Transmit Messages Table:
Select the Transmit button (Figure 1: 
) along the top of the Message Editor panel . This switches to the Transmit message setup. Next, select HS CAN from the on Network dropdown (Figure 1:
). Click the + button (Figure 1:
) to add a new message.
3. Define Transmit Message:
After adding a new message, a setup dialog appears below. In this dialog transmit message specifications such as description, Arb ID, and color are entered. Create a message called Practice TX Message for HS CAN. Give it an Arb ID of 500 and data bytes 11-22-33. Enter the data bytes starting in column B1 in the spreadsheet, as shown in Figure 1.
4. Examine Completed Message:
Notice how all of the information added in the Setup dialog was automatically added to the spreadsheet view just above.
