Hardware Interface for MOST

The development, simulation, testing, and maintenance of mobile MOST networks require high-performance, robust and user-friendly hardware interfaces. The fast  MOST interfaces VN2610 and VN2640, are both an ideal solution for use with notebock or desktop PC.

Features and Advantages:

Due to USB 2.0 access the MOST interfaces VN2610 (MOST25) and VN2640 (MOST150) are providing high data throughput and short response times. Both interfaces have 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 (with the VN2640 also via Ethernet) to and from the PC with full bandwidth.
With the wide supply voltage range the interfaces are ensuring 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 and the VN2640 can be synchronized with additional Vector CAN, LIN and FlexRay interfaces. Together with CANoe and CANalyzer, the interfaces providing 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.
