CAPL to CPP Conversion

Section titled “CAPL to CPP Conversion”

CAPL to CPP Converter is used to convert the CAPL file (.can) to CPP (.cpp) files to be used with BUSMASTER. Once the CAPL file is selected for conversion, the entry for output file name will be automatically filled with input file name but with the extension of .cpp

Any database associated with the CAPL file has to be added using the Add DBC file option. The DBC file will be converted to DBF file and will be used for conversion. The converted DBF file will saved in the same path by default.
