Start Messager Counter

Starts a message counter for the specified channel and frame ID, monitoring signals and values within set cycle intervals.

Arguments Description

**channel_name (str): The communication channel (e.g., “CAN”).

frame_id (int): The identifier for the message frame (e.g., 0x01). signals (list[list[str]]): A list of lists containing signal names for each cycle.

Example: [[“pdu1”, “pdu2”], [“pdu1”, “pdu2”]]

counter_signals (list[str]): List of counter signal names.

Example: [“TotalNumber”, “pduCounter”]

signal_values (list[list[int]]): A list of lists with values for each signal in each cycle.

Example: [[100, 200], [50, 20]]

min_cycle (int): Minimum cycle time in milliseconds.

Example: 100

max_cycle (int): Maximum cycle time in milliseconds.

Example: 110

counter (int): The counter increment value.

Example: 2**

Returns

bool: True if the message counter starts successfully, else False.

Example

${channel_name} = “CAN”

${frame_id} = 0x01

@{SIGNALS} = [[“signal1”, “signal2”], [“signal1”, “signal2”]]

@{SIGNAL_VALUES} = [[100, 200], [50, 20]]

${MIN_CYCLE} = 100

${MAX_CYCLE} = 110

${COUNTER} = 2

@{counter_signals} = [“TotalNumberSignal”, “MessageCounterSignal”]

${res1} = Start Messager Counter ${channel_name} ${frame_id} @{SIGNALS} @{counter_signals} @{SIGNAL_VALUES} ${MIN_CYCLE} ${MAX_CYCLE} ${COUNTER}

Note

Ensure that the specified channel and frame ID are available before starting the counter.
