NETWORK INTERFACES Hardware Interface for MOST Functions > Receiving all control messages and asynchronous packets with-out The development, simulation, testing, and maintenance of mobile MOST networks require high-performance, robust and user-friendly hardware interfaces. The very fast MOST interface VN2610 is here the ideal solution for use with notebook or desktop PC. influencing the MOST bus (spy mode) > Sending and receiving of control messages as well as of asyn-chronous packets of any length as a node > Access to the audio channels via headphone output or LineIn or alternatively via S/PDIF input and output, as well as to all syn-chronous The Highlights at a Glance > Supporting all channels of the MOST bus with a high bandwidth (control messages, asynchronous and synchronous channels) > Sending and receiving asynchronous packets of any length > Control and asynchronous spy for logging of all messages > Simultaneous operation of MOST node and MOST spy > Data transfer of the synchronous channel to and from the PC with optional Rx time stamps > One optical S/PDIF input and output; 16 bit stereo, with optional sample rate conversion (selectable) > Temperature range -20 °C..+70 °C > Wide voltage range (startup 7 V..50 V, operation 5 V..50 V) > USB 2.0 port (USB 1.1 with reduced bandwidth) > Accurate time stamps (1 μs) and low reaction times (typ. < 5 ms) > MOST Limited Physical Compliance certified > Compatibility with the XL-Interface-Family > Supported by the XL-Driver-Library Features and Advantages Due to its USB 2.0 access the MOST interface VN2610 provides high data throughput and short response times. Of course, it is fully compatible to its predecessor, the VN2600. Additionally the VN2610 has an optical S/PDIF input and output with integrated sample rate converters (selectable). For analysis or further processing the synchronous channels can also be transferred via USB to and from the PC with full bandwidth. While receiving data, an optional overhead mode with time stamps allows assigning control messages to the synchronous data. With its wide supply voltage range the VN2610 ensures sufficient reliability in analysis, especially during cranking tests in the vehicle. Due to the certification of the MOST Cooperation the compatibility to existing components is guaranteed. The VN2610 can be synchronized with additional Vector CAN, LIN and FlexRay interfaces. Together with CANoe and CANalyzer, the VN2610 provides effective development and analysis of all vehicle bus systems in the network. You can use the XL-Driver-Library and the MOST Analysis Library for the integration in your own application. channels via USB > Access to the current Allocation Table > Time synchronization to other Vector interfaces (together with CANoe or CANalyzer) > Wide voltage range (operation 5 V..50 V, start-up 7 V..50 V) Application Areas The VN2610 is suited for all MOST application areas. In combina-tion with CANoe.MOST and CANalyzer.MOST you can easily create and send messages to bus participants in the node mode. Simultaneously, you can record (spy mode), filter, display and log all bus messages of all bus participants conveniently. You can analyze multi-channel synchronous data streams with or without time stamps and generate test signals for the synchronous channels in the PC and that via USB. This allows for example: > Logging of the complete MOST data communication for offline analysis and error logging for suppliers > Test of transfer functions of digital-analog or analog-digital converters > Implementation of optimized flash algorithms with full bandwidth in production (1..60 bytes) > ECU diagnostics via hidden communication in idle synchronous channels > Implementation and test of DTCP algorithms with the PC > Creation of test signals of any complexity In gateway development, you can precisely synchronize the timestamps of CAN, LIN, and FlexRay messages to those of the MOST messages, e.g. for monitoring signal paths or flow delays. By using the programming language CAPL in CANoe/CANalyzer you can emulate an ECU functionally and connect it to the MOST ring via the VN2610 as a virtual ECU. V2.4 2010-04 www.vector.com/contact
