Download

With Service Pack 2, the following changes become effective, all previous service packs for version 6.1 are contained:

Fixed issue when measuring too many signals using XCP with static DAQ lists
Fixed issue when creating new device for ES4xx measurement modules (CANape did not go online formerly)
Issue fixed referring to axis values of characteristics of type MAP and CURVE which refer a standard or fix axis (Instead of the value X0 to Xn was displayed.)
Simulink model viewer: Support of vector graphic's generated by MATLAB V7.0 and later

General Usage:

CANdito Flash: new dedicated utility intended for flash download by diagnostic script.
Simulink model viewer: Support of vector graphic's and zoom in/out
Option AM: Size of Flat 3D objects can be less than 1
Support of sorted search result in Symbol Explorer
Proper size of popup menus
Windows without frame can be resized to a very small size
Save the last used file name filter of the measurement file selection dialog
New option to interprete BIT variables of map files as unsigned int (Physical values 0 and 1)
Proper handling of measurement mode "on key" of CANape version 6.1.10
Options Dialog: Explanation for "Increased realtime ability" enhanced
Update a closed Symbol Explorer if he is opened again
Panel window data link dialog enhanced
Handling corrected in case of a project is loaded or CANape is closed and the current project contains calibration or measurement comments
Handling corrected in case of inserting a signal in Measurement list dialog if a database selection is open and a filter dialog is opened
MapReader for VC8 release build mode

Offline analysis measurement files:

Possibility to merge mdf-files again that are previously splitted from another MDF file
The import converter support CANcaseXL LOG logging files (XLG files)
Delete temporary files of imported CANalyzer logging files, if the file device is permanent loaded
The MATLAB export converter skips signals of datatype greater then 32 bit (doesn't abort any longer)
The ATF Import converter creates MDF 3.0 files
ASCII Import converter support values with more then 9 digits now
Corrected generation of Float Signal definition with long names (caused syntax errors in generated dbc file (for logger daq measurements))
CANalyzer Logging Converter is able to deal with BLF files including environment variables of type double
Proper reading of negativ values of MOTOROLA signed integer signals (MDFlib++)
Add a MDFlib++ function to read and modify the value raster item of a channel block
All Files Filter *.* of the new Import Converter is included in the "All Measurement Files" Filter
MDFlib++ supports DAT files (MDF format) created by ETAS Ascet SD
Support a difference line time lower then the comment line time for Signal comments. Fix problem of the value macro in case of a Xoffset
COFF map reader supports bit fields crossing byte borders
Improved support of M files created by the MATLAB export converter (syntactical problems fixed)

Display of measurement data:

Inserting a curve without axis into an existing calibration window is possible
Color of nearly white signals is adapted at print operation
Correction of activity display of numeric measurement windows
Command 'Save Signals' of a graphic window saved only data points inside the specified time range
Hex calibration window can be updated during a measurement
Print the name of a y axis of graphic windows on the printer
The comment of the selected curve in numeric map calibration windows is showed in case of multiple curves added to that window
Global measurement cursor is set to the previous position at stop of measurement
Trigger times and signal comment times is adjusted during saving signals from a graphic window if time stamps start from zero
Display improvements of Y axis labels in graphic windows if the window is too small

Driver:

Driver settings written by CNP_CREATE_INI driver entries in an a2l-file are used by the driver now
CCP: static daq lists in A2L database were not recognized correctly
Busdoctor: Optimize thread priorities reduce receive errors.
Suppress CCP command Start_Stop mode "prepare" when mode "start" is selected
Corrected CANape Signature in CCP driver length setting
FlexRay:
- Support of Busdoctor II
- Monitoring: With a big FIBEX file and many signals, the measurement took a long time to start
- Fixed warning message when checking the low-level parameter of FIBEX
- Configure the driver settings if using CHI and DBC
- Automatic Communication controller restart if synchronization with the bus is lost
XCP:
- Corrected some keywords in the XCP-IFDATA AML when writing the database
- Static daq lists supported which are defined by A2L ifdata
- PREDEFINED_DAQ_LISTs supported (required for ES4xx module integration)
- Optimized RAM consumption with XCP if block measurement mode is enabled and measurement is triggered
XCP on FlexRay:
- Fixed detection of lost packet which did not work in some cases
- Warning baloon not displayed any longer if the max. Flexray length contains a number begining with 1 like 14
- User is informed if a buffer overrun occures while using VN3x00
- Possibility to have random order of XCP elements in FIBEX

Data Management:

Load sequence of CDM-Studio and "load parameter set" window corrected. Under some circumstances the values of a parameterset were not displayed.
The unit information of an ASCII string is written in files which use the DCM-format

Database:

A variant criterion can no longer be assigned to a database group that contains the associated selector
Enhanced importing specific LIN databases
Complete original database file name is used as device name if a device is created because dropping the database in CANape
A default DAQ event for a signal in the database can be selected
Bitmask characteristics of Motorola byte order are supported now correctly
Default signal attribute value in DBC files is used to set the precision of CAN signals for the whole database

Diagnostics:

The 'read all identified DTCs' default request has been changed to '0xa9 0x81 0x12'
Fixed problems regarding Intel byte order for diagnostics driver
All functional groups of the whole network can be selected for a functional diagnostic device driver
Enhanced state and error information is displayed in the fault memory window

Correction of wording within diagnostics driver dialog (Regular -> Normal; Mode -> Scheme)

Functions and Scripts:

New script function to create directories
Close progressbar after calling ProgressBarClose()
Changing a variable value in functions using unary operators (a++) is recognized as write operation now.
Added new script function that allows to switch from physical to function addressing (and vice versa)
Function sizeof() even works for MDF file signals which are not previously created

CANape API:

Menu command "Device | New from MCD3 server" is only enabled if the appropriate user rights exist are set.
Now registry is checked for installed MCD3D servers on device creation
