Create/Edit Verbal Conversion Tables

Verbal Conversion Tables are equivalent to enumerated or state encoded decimal lookup tables. These tables take integer value inputs and apply text description outputs to them. For example, 0 = Off, 1 = On, etc.

To create or edit Verbal Conversion Tables in an A2L file use the Create or Edit tools from the Edit group in the main toolbar while the Verbal Conversion Tables tab is active in the A2L file area. A dialog will open similar to that shown in Figure 1.
