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.
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.
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.
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.
Notice how all of the information added in the Setup dialog was automatically added to the spreadsheet view just above.
