Syntax

pg = j1939ParameterGroup(database,name)
pg = j1939ParameterGroup(database,j1939TimeTable)

Description

pg = j1939ParameterGroup(database,name) creates a parameter group using the name defined in the specified database.

pg = j1939ParameterGroup(database,j1939TimeTable) creates parameter groups from the specified J1939 parameter group timetable. This allows you to convert parameter group timetables into arrays of parameter group objects to be used in code from earlier versions of the toolbox. For performance reasons, it is recommended that you work with timetables instead of parameter group objects.
