Database Template
The following is highly recommended to be done only by experienced PC users.
When creating a new database CAT automatically uses the settings of the database template as default
values for the new database. Vehicles, ECUs, Frame and Signals are linked to the Database as well as
Diagnostic relevant Data. But the original delivery software of CAT contains no default settings cause
these are mostly company and test bench specific data.
To create the own database template do the following steps:
- Use an existing database or
- Setup a database corresponding to general needs:
- Create a database
- Create vehicles that shall be defined as default.
- Setup ECUs corresponding to the general diagnostic needs of the vehicles:
- define DPIDs and DPID signals,
- setup DIDs,
- define special DTCs,
- setup the FSA List,
- and define CPIDs.
- Create Frames linked to the ECUs that shall be defined as default.
- Create Signals linked to the Frames that shall be defined as default.
- Look for the Db# in brackets that are written in the title bar behind the name given to the database.
Note: All database related data are stored in database folders named Db# (Db1, Db2, ...). These
folders are located in the folder "CAT_Destination_Folder"\Data (CAT_Destination_Folder is the
folder that has been chosen when installing CAT).
- Copy the content of this Db# folder into the folder ...\Data\Temp_db.
Use the standard file managing programs (like Explorer or File Manager) to copy this files.
The next time, when creating a database the done settings will be the default values.
