Tutorial: Database Setup

Overview

As seen in the previous tutorials, Vehicle Spy 3 can bring in raw message data. Using the Receive table of the Messages Editor, message decoding tables can be created. If a database is available, this information can be imported saving time by not requiring this information typed in by a user. In this tutorial, platform creation and database loading will be covered.
