Hello,

We have a question about versions of DBC files are supported. When I first researched this question could not find evidence of formal versions of the files, however, some of our colleagues have found that there appear to be slight differences in .dbc files created by Vector products. Apparently, Old DBC files were converted OK but newer ones introduced some errors that had to be fixed by CANvas (now Busmaster) team manually.

My questions are:

1) Is it the case that Vector continues to evolve or change their .dbc files causing the Busmaster team to have to change the converter to match it?

2) Does this apply to the coverter going both ways (.dbf to .dbc and .dbc to .dbf)?

Thanks,
Chris
