Know-how: the best ways to use .NET API in CANoe
.NET API is an embedded domain-specific language extension that you can use to program simulation and testing tasks. Starting with CANoe 7.0, this lets you use object-oriented programming languages such as C# as well as development environments such as Visual Studio. To find out precisely how it works, see our English-language Application Note.

VX1000 measurement and calibration hardware for high transmission rates
The modular VX1000 system has been extended by adding standardized ECU plug-on-device hardware for a variety of microcontrollers such as:
>
Infineon TriCore 17x7
>
Freescale Power PC with Nexus Class3
>
Texas Instruments TMS570 with RTP/DMM

Analyze model behavior more efficiently in ECU functional development
Access to MATLAB/Simulink models – now possible with the new CANape Option Simulink XCP Server – promises considerable relief for functional developers. Without instrumentation signals from Simulink models can now be visualized and parameterized in CANape. As a universal front end for measurement and calibration tasks, CANape increases efficiency in the testing phase for models in Simulink.

Case Study: Verify object recognition algorithms in driver assistance systems
In adaptive cruise control systems, only data related to vehicles in the car’s own driving lane are utilized to adapt the car’s distance to other traffic. To objectively evaluate the ACC system’s reliability and operating safety, BMW developers verify the acquired signals based on video images. This involves use of Option Advanced Multimedia for the measurement and calibration tool CANape.

Collaborative Requirements Engineering
Rising cost pressure is forcing manufacturers and their suppliers to jointly master product development. Our experiences in working with Bosch, Ford and Volvo show how to connect requirements engineering and downstream systems development with respect to interfaces, data management and traceability. This report might provide you with a starting point for similar improvements in your own sphere.

Case Study: Wireless Analysis in a CAN Multi-Protocol Environment
In advanced development stages it is preferable to conduct tests and trial runs under real conditions at construction sites or field testing sites. Previously, BOMAG electronic developers were unable to simultaneously analyze the measurement data during field tests without having to ride along in the machines themselves. CANoe/CANalyzer.IP now enables contact with the device under test via a WLAN connection.
