Description

DbSpecialDataGroup represents the MCDDbSpecialDataGroup object of a MVCI system which provides additional information for specific ODX elements, e.g. for DIAGCOMM (in MCD3 realized as MCDDataPrimitive), for DTCs or FlashSessions. SDGs have been introduced to be able to capture information that is not covered by general ODX mechanisms. For example, SDGs can be used to attach error set conditions to DTCs or to provide error trees.

The short name, long name etc. come from the caption because MCDDbSpecialDataGroup not inherits from MCDDbObject. If no caption exists, short name, long name etc. are adjusted to empty strings.
