See a repeatable CAN scenario before building your own.

Three files, one clear first run

• Excel scenario: the exact Signals, Points, AppSettings, Buses, and Notes sheets simCAN imports.
• Example DBC: the matching frame and signal definition for reference and DBC workflow testing.
• Start file: five steps, portability notes, and bench safety guidance.

Use it safely

1. Extract the files into a normal project folder.
2. Open simCAN and keep Dry run selected.
3. Import the Excel scenario.
4. Review the profile and choose Validate.
5. Run the scenario without CAN hardware first.

Dry run validates the application workflow; it does not prove adapter, bus, receiver, or wire behavior. Connect hardware only on an isolated, approved bench after checking channel, bitrate, frame format, identifiers, scaling, and termination.

Then replace the sample with your signals

Load your own DBC in simCAN, export an Excel workbook, and edit the Points sheet to create ramps, steps, holds, and coordinated signal changes. Keeping the workbook, DBC revision, bus settings, expected receiver response, and captured evidence together makes the test reusable.

Want a realistic multi-signal example?

The advanced two-vehicle approach scenario is derived from a real bench-development workflow and sanitized for public use. It contains 56 signals and 6,048 time/value breakpoints across two buses, plus two matching generic DBC files.

The workbook uses portable manual packing and starts in Dry run. It is an engineering workflow example, not a safety-validation procedure or a claim of compatibility with any vehicle, controller, sensor, or CAN adapter.
