Custom Car Types
As an administrator, it is possible to define custom car types from version 2.45 of the WICE portal. The custom car types panel is located in the the administration tab as can be seen in illustration "Custom car types 1".
Add a new car type
To add a new car type, click "Add new car type" in the "Car types" portlet to the left in the view. Choose a name and press enter. This will create a new car type with no interfaces defined.
Define CAN interfaces
To define a new CAN interface for a custom car type, select the car type in the "Car types" portlet and then click "Add CAN" in the CAN portlet. This will open up the dialog as can be seen in illustration "Custom car types 2".
The majority of the interface attributes should be self explanatory but the DBC file may need some clarification.
Select DBC file
A CAN bus needs to be associated with a DBC file and when defining a CAN interface one have the option to select an already upload DBC file or upload a new one. Uploading DBC files can be done via the DBC files portlet (described in #Manage DBC files) or directly in the select DBC files grid shown in illustration Custom car types 3.
