Introduce "SendType" for Message and Signal.

[Usamaahmad751]

While parsing a DBC file at my work using this parser library I realized that this library doesn't support parsing of "SendType" for both Signal and Message. For our particular project we are using this information from the DBC file. So, I modified this library a bit and added a "SendType Parser" that gives the assigned "SendType" information for each Message and Signal otherwise it will return default value as "Cyclic".

The available send types are defined in the DBC at:

BA_DEF_ BO_ "GenMsgSendType" ENUM "Cyclic","Event","NotUsed","NotUsed","NotUsed","NotUsed","NotUsed","IfActive","NoMsgSendType","NotUsed","NotUsed","NotUsed","vector_leerstring";

These can change from DBC to DBC for example the following is also possible:

"cyclic","triggered","cyclicIfActive","cyclicAndTriggered","cyclicIfActiveAndTriggered","none"

The Message "Send Type" can be found here:

BA_ "GenMsgSendType" BO_ 1424 7;

Where "BO_ 1424" is the id of the message and "7" is the Enum value

If a message has no definition of BA "GenMsgSendType" BO XXXX X we should use the default value which is defined here:

BA_DEF_DEF_ "GenMsgSendType" "Cyclic";

Also each signal can also have a "SendType" Information that can be found here:

BA_DEF_ SG_ "GenSigSendType" ENUM "Cyclic","OnWrite","OnWriteWithRepetition","OnChange","OnChangeWithRepetition","IfActive","IfActiveWithRepetition","NoSigSendType","OnChangeAndIfActive","OnChangeAndIfActiveWithRepetition","NotUsed","NotUsed","NotUsed";

BA_ "GenSigSendType" SG_ 1424 SeatControlCommand1 8;

SeatControlCommand1 is the Signal Name and "8" is the ENUM value.

If this entry is not present the default value shall be used:

BA_DEF_DEF_ "GenSigSendType" "Cyclic";

Hi,

did you have a look into the CustomProperites map available on both Signal and Message class? Can you confirm that you can find it there?

Thanks A
