Byte numerbing 1-8 and Bit numbering 0-7?

[wienans]

Hi, first of all thanks for your great work. i stumbled across the numbering of the bits and bytes in the converted xls/csv files because they are not the same. Because i am quite new with working with CAN and dbc i wanted to ask if this is a standard, or has any particular reason. As i think having both either zero based or one based would reduce human errors?

Hi @wienans

the xls(x) format is based on what I have seen from some OEMs (they usually have excel-representations of their databases).

Thus this is more or less how it is.

It would be nice to habe a excel-format which is far more complete than current and on the other hand at least that intuitive like it is today. For now, I have no Idea how this could look like...
