Update V10.0.22, 2012-02-01:

• Improved stability for configurations with lots of calibration windows.
• Fixed sporadic issue which affected stability when switching between display pages during measurement.
• Improved import of configurations containing long Japanese character strings.

Update V10.0.21, 2012-01-18:

• An issue has been fixed which affected CANape configurations with lots of calibration windows (more than 100). This is the only change compared to CANape 10.0.20 (SP2).

• Display of signals in a graphic window with multiple views works if the window is a standard window.
• Fixed Symbol Explorer issue if a CAN database file is edited externally and reimported.
• A global variable can be deleted in the Function Browser even if it was renamed before.
• Some minor issues when working with breakpoints in the Function Browser are resolved.
• Accessing string characters using the [] operator is possible.
• Fixed issue if the configuration accidentally contains multiple Write window signals.
• User defined functions with more than 128 arguments are supported. Up to 1000 arguments can be used now.
• Minmized calibration windows are restored after changing the display page.
• Feature to display numerical value is improved to consider the option 'Always use configured range' with 'Engineering notation' in the correct way.
• The feature to display numerical value is improved: In case of data type integer and no digit after dot defined in the database definition the optimal representation of a value consider all digit left of the decimal point.

Communication Protocols

• XCP on FlexRay: Improved device configuration
• Improved ARXML support
• Issue resolved if there are no application channels for FlexRay defined in the Vector Hardware configuration dialog.
• XCP: Fixed byte order issue for static daq lists
• LIN: Fixed device configuration issue which lead to wrong network assignment
• FlexRay: Ignored signals from null frames
• XCP: Fixed DAQ timestamp issue for motorola byte order ECUs
• CAN Replay: Fixed device configuration issue
• XCP on FlexRay: Removed some frame type checks due to customer databases which are not spec compliant.
• Improved message name visualization of measurement signals for GMLAN LowSpeed DBC in trace window.
• Accepted unsorted DAQ lists from CCP IF_DATA section.

Measurement Data Acquisition

• Recording of ECU signals is possible again after stop and restart of measurement for a single ECU using script functions.
• XCP: Improved daq list usage calculation at measurement configuration dialog
• Fixed overload issue when measuring many signals via polling mode
• Support of VN8900 as network interface for LIN. Requires PNI driver.
• Measurement and processing of the payload data bytes of CAN messages is supported.
• Enabled the usage of a CAN dbc database file for multiple devices with different logical channel numbers.
• XCP: Fixed timestamp calculation in case of measuring more than 31 kByte per event
• Autosave function is removed because it is not required any more to restore temporary written measurement files.

Offline Analysis of Measurement Files

• Issue fixed while displaying data from measurement file and working with the measurement cursors.
• Improved playing of multimedia files with audio and video stream and only audio stream.
• The MATLAB export converter creates valid time raster in M files if a signal group contains only one signal.
• Dimension lines can be configured for the time axis.
• The time signal is saved only once if the same signal is displayed multiple and saved from graphic windows.
• Single array element signals from a MDF4 file displays the correct value.
• Wrong bus statistic information of XLX files from data loggers is ignored at conversion into MDF format.
• Additional comment fields of MDF4 measurement files can be deleted.

Database

• If the database was not saved by the user an update of addresses in ASAP2 database will be made by the next start of the project.
• Plausibility check of ASAP2 databases will not change the value range of integers if they differ only in not significant digits from the maximum value range.

• Fixed issues in case of loading parameter set during measurement. Improved handling of display selection dialog to consider whether measurement is running or not. Added feature to deny display selection dialog.
• Enabled the saving of parameter set files from a calibration history snapshot.
• Read of HEX files is improved: Detection whether a parameter is inside an address range or not is adapted to which bytes are written into a HEX file for a specific parameter.
• Fixed issue in synchronizing symbol explorer after CDM Studio is closed.
• Added the environment bar also into the save and load configuration dialogs of CDM Studio.
• Removed the limitation in "Load parameter set" based on the CVX (CSV) format containing parameter data based on type ASCII.
• Values in CDM Studio reports consider the current option of parameter value representation.
• In the detail window of CDM Studio the correct name of the function in which a common axis is defined is displayed.
• If the numerical detail window in CDM Studio is not pinned it displays the same content as the multimode window.
• Improved detection whether a parameter is modified or not in case of closing the CDM Studio. The focus in the numerical detail window is improved.
• Improved the CDM Studio internal filter "Value exceeds the standard limits" or "Value exceeds the extended limits" to consider axis point values too.
