Connecting PidPRO to the DBK70 Hardware
To connect PidPRO to the DBK70 hardware, click the Connect button. When the hardware is recognized,
PidPRO displays the current settings of the DBK70 channels in the DBK70 Channels list.
Opening and Viewing a PID Database
To load the included PID database that pertains to your network type, click the Open Identifier Database button,
select the desired database from the file list dialog box, then click Ok. Several PID databases are shipped with
PidPRO – one database per network protocol. Although this is the default organization of PID records, the user
can organize PIDs as desired. For example, PIDs for different protocols can be all in one database, all the PIDs
can be in one database, or PIDs for a particular electronic control module can be segregated into one database.
To view the contents of a PID record in the database, double-click the desired item in the database list.
Use the scroll bar at the bottom of the Database Item View window to view the content of other records. The
Database Item View window does not have to be closed to operate the PidPRO main window. The Database
Item View window will always display the content of the currently selected database item in the Network
Identifier Database list.
The Database Item View window has two views of the selected record; Detailed View and Summary View.
Summary View’s fields are identical to those found in the DBK70Config software. Detailed View provides a
more comprehensive view of each PID and includes automatic scale and offset calculation features. Both views
represent the same PID, so changing settings in one will result in changes to the other.
