# QtCanBus Namespace

The QtCanBus namespace provides some commons enums that are used in the CAN bus handling part of the QtSerialPort module. More...

## Detailed Description

## Type Documentation

### enum class QtCanBus::DataFormat

This enum represents the possible data formats. The format defines how the value will be extracted from its source.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QtCanBus::DataFormat::SignedInteger` | `0` | The signal value is a signed integer.
`QtCanBus::DataFormat::UnsignedInteger` | `1` | The signal value is an unsigned integer.
`QtCanBus::DataFormat::Float` | `2` | The signal value is float.
`QtCanBus::DataFormat::Double` | `3` | The signal value is double.
`QtCanBus::DataFormat::AsciiString` | `4` | The signal value is an ASCII string.

### enum class QtCanBus::DataSource

This enum represents the placement of the data within the CAN frame.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QtCanBus::DataSource::Payload` | `0` | The data will be extracted from the payload.
`QtCanBus::DataSource::FrameId` | `1` | The data will be extracted from the frame ID.

### enum class QtCanBus::MultiplexState

This enum represents the possible multiplex states of a signal.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QtCanBus::MultiplexState::None` | `0x00` | The signal is not used in multiplexing.
`QtCanBus::MultiplexState::MultiplexorSwitch` | `0x01` | The signal is used as a multiplexor switch, which means that other signals depend on the values of this signal.
`QtCanBus::MultiplexState::MultiplexedSignal` | `0x02` | The signal is multiplexed by some switch, and therefore its value can only be extracted when the switch has a specific value.
`QtCanBus::MultiplexState::SwitchAndSignal` | `MultiplexorSwitch | MultiplexedSignal` | The multiplexor switch of the signal must have the value that enables us to use this signal. When used, the signal also acts as a multiplexor switch for other multiplexed signals.

### enum class QtCanBus::UniqueId

Represents a CAN unique identifier. The underlying type is quint32.

An enum is used to avoid implicit conversions to or from unsigned int.
