I’m trying to export the coolant temperature reading from the PMU to be read at a CanChecked display. However, the display only imports from DBC. CANX file [Proton Drive](https://drive.proton.me/urls/XRFZ7KC9T4#i7OuXx2jCCnF) Can I have any help with this? and any chance I could get an export to DBC in the PMU Client? ---

We will add DBC export functionality in one of the future releases. Until then, it has to be done manually. I have created a DBC file based on the CANX file that you shared. [temperature\_fan\_V.dbc](https://community.ecumaster.com/uploads/short-url/wPh4Fs5TFUGzyGla1WXmcFqFUJM.dbc) (626 Bytes) ---

I very much appreciate the translation provided. Is there a well defined/documented procedure I can follow to do my own translations? So I don’t bother you in the near future until this export feature is implemented in software. I would very much appreciate such a procedure as a temporary measure. I think I’m not alone in this. Thanks! ---

You can use, for example, Kvaser Database Editor and manually enter the messages there: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/ecumaster/original/2X/1/1a40145176250c27d1c9b44c6bb684903b1c1c1e.png) In your case: The coolant temperature from the .canx file is defined as: ```auto ``` s16-le means the type is signed 16-bit, and the byte order is little endian (Intel in Kvaser DE). Bitpos settings: - For channel type x16-be: Bitpos = (byteOffset + 1) \* 8 - For channel type x16-le, x8-le, x8-be: Bitpos = byteOffset \* 8 ---

I’m also interested in this functionality, when will this feature be released @mfudala_ECUMASTER ? ---

I hope it will be ready in a few weeks, maybe in a month or two. ---
