17.4 Message Storage
msCAN12 facilitates a sophisticated message storage system which
addresses the requirements of a broad range of network applications.
17.4.1 Background
Modern application layer software is built upon two fundamental
assumptions:
1. Any CAN node is able to send out a stream of scheduled
messages without releasing the bus between two messages.
Such nodes will arbitrate for the bus right after sending the
previous message and will only release the bus arbitration is lost.
2. The internal message queue within any CAN node is organized
such that if more than one message is ready to be sent, the
highest priority message will be sent out first.
