Identify a message.

db = canDatabase('J1939DB.dbc');
m = db.MessageInfo(1)
m = 
             Name: 'A1'

          TxNodes: {'AerodynamicControl'}
       Attributes: {4x1 cell}
    AttributeInfo: [4x1 struct]

Select one of the message signals.

s = m.SignalInfo(2)
s = 
             Name: 'EngGasSupplyPress'
