CANape 10.0 - Option GPS

Viewing the vehicle's position in CANape

The Option GPS extends the measuring, calibration, and diagnostics tool CANape by including the current vehicle position on an electronic map. The interpretation of recorded measurement data is enhanced since specific geographical conditions can be taken into account during the evaluation.

Features and Advantages

While measuring data in the vehicle during a test drive, besides log-ging the actual measured data the CANape Option GPS (Global Positioning System) also logs precise GPS data and provides visualization of the momentary vehicle position in a GPS display window with a stored map. During offline evaluation, measurement data in the CANape display windows can be displayed together with the corresponding vehicle position in the additional GPS Window. This allows the user to interpret the obtained data more efficiently.
