Special XCP Support in CANape
CANape was the first MCD tool to support the XCP 1.0 specification and was also the first XCP on FlexRay Master on the market:

XCP on FlexRay
One special technical aspect of XCP on FlexRay is its dynamic bandwidth management. CANape utilizes this to identify the bandwidth available for XCP in the FlexRay cluster, and it allocates this bandwidth - dynamically and very efficiently - to the current calibration data traffic. This method optimally exploits the bandwidth available for XCP communication. [White Paper "Measuring and calibrating over XCP on FlexRay (PDF)"]
Flexible DLL interface
CANape also has a DLL interface. It enables support of XCP on any (user-defined) transport layer. This lets you integrate any desired measurement technology or proprietary protocols in CANape. A code generator supports you in creating the XCP-specific content for such a driver.
