  1. The function CanSigCreate() is called with an application specific CAN signal configuration parameter structure (see documentation of structure CANSIG_PARA).
  2. After checking, that a free CAN signal object is available, the object is moved from the free list to the used list.
  3. The given CAN signal parameter structure is checked to contain plausible data. If this check was successful, the structure is linked to the CAN signal object.
  4. This function cannot be used in case CANSIG_STATIC_CONFIG is enabled.
