NETWORK INTERFACES XL-Driver-Library Driver Library for Vector Hardware Interfaces Application Areas The XL-Driver-Library lets you utilize Vector CAN, LIN, FlexRay and MOST interfaces effectively and powerfully in your custom appli-cations. The XL-Driver-Library is a universal programming interface you can use to create your own CAN, LIN, FlexRay and MOST applications while accessing Vector’s powerful interfaces: > XL-Interface-Family (PCMCIA, PCI, PCIe, PXI, USB) > FlexRay interfaces VN3300 (PCI), VN3600 (USB), VN7600 (USB) > MOST interface VN2610 (USB) > IOcab 8444opto on a CANcardXL (PCMCIA) It is especially useful in developing specialized tools that are uniquely adapted to a workstation and its local environment, with the goal of maximizing productivity. Potential applications include: > Creating test tools for test benches > Integrating Vector interfaces in existing analysis and test programs > Integrating Vector interfaces in the process control of produc-tion Features and Advantages The XL-Driver-Library provides you with general and bus-specific methods that make it easy to operate the CAN, LIN, FlexRay and MOST interfaces from Vector. Channels and ports are managed with the general methods. Bus-specific facilities > Programming and configuring ECUs in production and service methods are used to configure network nodes and to send or receive messages. It is easy to assign logical application channels to physical device channels via the XL-Driver-Library or with the user-friendly Vector hardware configuration program. Furthermore, all Vector interfaces for CAN, LIN, FlexRay MOST and digital and analog I/O can be driven in parallel via the library, e.g. for gateway functions. Simultaneous support of more than one channel for each bus system (multi-channel) makes it possible to implement any desired variation of interface capabilities. Scope of Delivery of the XL-Driver-Library for CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and MOST The XL-Driver-Library is a component supplied with the Vector XL-Interfaces, the VN3300/VN3600/VN7600 FlexRay interfaces and the VN2610 MOST interface. It is included on the driver CD and contains: > DLL with header for Borland C++, Microsoft Visual C++ > .NET component for Microsoft Visual Studio and Borland Delphi (only for CAN, LIN and IOcab) > Manual (PDF) > Sample applications with source code > Migration Guide for conversion from the CAN-Driver-Library to the XL-Driver-Library as an appendix to the manual V1.9 2007-09 Access to the Vector interfaces via the XL-Driver-Library Vector Informatik GmbH > Ingersheimer Str. 24 > 70499 Stuttgart > Tel. 0711-80670-0 > Fax 0711-80670-111 > www.vector-informatik.com
