Adding a new vehicle to the database
When Helios is installed in the vehicle that is not present in the database, you
need to create it by identifying the CAN bus signals and manually adding the
vehicle to the database.
In the Helios Canbus window press the New Vehicle button .
Enter the new vehicle details, select the Lookup tab and start identifying the
CAN signal.
Choose any input (for example Door) and identify the value of the pulse signal
as follows. Select Door in the Field Description dropdown list and Field Type
dropdown list.
The door can only have 2 values: Open – 1, or Closed – 0.Open the vehicle
door. While the door is open, enter 1 in the Current Value field and click
Search. The data of all the signals from the vehicle with the current value of 1
will be displayed in the Index Code window.
Close the door, change the Current Value to 0 and click Search. You will see
less data in the window. About half of the signals will be eliminated. Only the
signals that changed their values to 0 will be left.
Open the door again, enter 1 in the Current Value field and click Search. Even
less data will appear in the window (the signals from the previous amount that
changed their values to 1).
Repeat this process decreasing the number of signals until you're left with one
identified Door signal.
After the signal has been found, select the row of the signal in the Index Code
window. Click on the Save Field button to save this value to the new vehicle
definition.
