* **CAN Add:** The user can create a new event message in the CAN communication setup.
* **CAN Remove:** Allows the user to delete a selected CAN message from the event message list.
* **Move Up:** Allows the user to shift a selected message to a higher level in the list.
* **Move Down:** Allows the user to shift a selected message to a lower level in the list.
* **TX:** Specifies the transmit ID used to send messages from the tester to the ECU.
* **RX:** Specifies that the responses are expected from the ECU using this ID.
* **Delay:** Allows the user to specify the interval between messages.
* **Time out:** Allows the user to specify the delay in response before considering it a timeout.
* **Attempt:** Allows the user to specify the number of times it wants the software to repeat the process.
* **Type:** This allows the user to select the CAN communication type to send and receive data and communicate with the ECU.
* **BRS:** Allows the user to switch to a higher bitrate (faster speed) during the data phase of the transmission.
* **DLC:** Indicates the number of data bytes in the message. It can range from 0 to 8 bytes.
* **Data**

### **Single**:

This command switches the ECU into **Extended Diagnostic Session** mode, which is required before accessing many advanced features or data.

### Repeatable

This command sends a series of CAN messages repeatedly to the ECU.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.influxtechnology.com/support_guides/rexdesk-configuration-software-s/rexdesk-rexgen-series-configuration-software/rexdesk-manual/quick-start-guide/preparation-of-configuration/using-the-uds-function.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
