Download

Issues solved:

• Graphviz version 2.16 does not work with CANdelaStudio (EIP9965) In document tree: States / Dependencies, "View:" combo-box - "State diagram".
  Note that old versions of graphviz can be downloaded from http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/ARCHIVE/ (as of 2008-01).
• Issue for copying a Diagnostic Instance using Drag and Drop between documents (EIP8179) Copying a Diagnostic Instance from a template document in one CANdelaStudio instance into a document opened in a second CANdelaStudio instance using Drag & Drop.
• Issue copying data between different instances of CANdelaStudio (EIP8179) Copying data between different instances of CANdelaStudio is not supported and safely disabled now.
• Comparison of documents seems to hang (EIP8700) When you use the "Compare" function (e.g. select a diagnostic instance in the document tree, then menu View | Compare) for a huge number of differences, CANdelaStudio will show a warning and eventually prevent you from waiting a long time for the differences in the list - you may export the differences to a file instead.
• Document upgrade of Procedural datatype creates copies of the same datatype in target document (EIP8745)
• For job files, ensure that the tuple (version, syntax and "file") is unique (EIP9742) Avoid multiple identical jobs.
• Avoid needless migration to 4.0 when saving 5.5 file to 5.0 (EIP9678)
• A2L: import correct selection of objects (EIP9970) In Import wizard, use button "Deselect all", then select some rows.
• Dangling reference in RTF export from attribute to dataype (EIP10057) A datatype that is used only within a packet datatype could be missing in RTF export if the option "Export even objects not used in document" is de-activated. This could lead to a dangling reference e.g. from attributes chapter.
• Identifier value not exported into RTF (EIP10054) E.g. for "($85) ControlDTCSetting", RTF contained "85 00" always.

Improvements:

• Improved state handling (EIP8732) When adding a new state, notify user / confirm whether all services shall be enabled or disabled in the new state; show explanation about multi-selection in States / Dependencies.
• Improved handling of text tables at static components (identifiers) (EIP9953) Ensure that static components of a ProtocolService use the same text table.
• Show range in identifier combo-box (EIP10425) In "Text" combo-box of "identifier" edit field in a diagnostic instance, if text table referenced from "variable value" in ProtocolService is not discrete, show start and end value of range.
• Add "Copy path" command to context menu of job container (EIP9604) Navigator tree, context menu of job container
• Improved handling of shared job files (EIP9484) Opening dialog "Job File Manager" from job properties dialog
• Changing authorization of a DiagInstance possible in a CDD in expert-mode (EIP8593) Allow and handle correctly the deletion of a diagnostic instance, or modification of its "required" property
• Protect interfaces created by wizard of CANdelaStudio (EIP9366) For ComParams created by the wizard in Expert Mode, prevent from qualifier changes, i.e. do not allow deviation from the standard qualifier required by the Vector toolchain.
• Adaptation of document upgrade (EIP8906) Do no more merge the data objects in a telegram table of CDD and CDDT - the upgraded document will contain the CDD content if the telegram table is modifiable, otherwise the CDDT content.
• Speedup for loading documents (EIP9292)
• Add option for exporting Vehicle system groups to RTF (EIP9485) Menu Extra|Options|Specification, "Additional chapters"
• A2L: import the long identifiers as description (EIP8120)
• DTC import from Excel (EIP10041) Allow lower case hex numbers.
• Extend installation to use stand-alone installer of EffectiveODX Viewer (EIP9370)
• Ensure proper font is installed (EIP9406) During installation, use font "MS Sans Serif" as a default, check whether font entered by the user exists on the system.

ASAM ODX Support:

• Support ODX OID (ObjectID) also during document upgrade (EIP8949)
  CANdela objects have a globally unique, persistent ID, visible in files exported to ODX.
• Completion of Text Identifier (EIP7713) To support TextIDs in a document, create TextIDs in File|Properties (in expert mode) or in the translation view. In File|Properties, all users can then complete missing TextIDs for new objects.
• Avoid duplicate Text Identifiers (EIP10477) Recomputation of Text Identifiers e.g. in File|Properties.

Customer Specific:

• Change the FMI/FTB Column View (EIP10004)
• Correct qualifiers of CANdesc "MainHandlerSupport" attributes (EIP10286)
• Extended negative response code 0xAE OxE3 refinement (EIP10404)
• Import into telegram table does not reflect bitfield display flag (EIP9132)
