Download

With Service Pack 2 Patch 3, the following changes become effective (SP 1, SP2 and SP2 Patch 1 are included):

Issues solved:

Data object semantics not shown initially in property dialog (EIP17077)
Context: In data object property dialog, the "semantics" combo-box is initially empty even if the data contains a semantics. The value is not lost but just not displayed.
"Replace reference by copy" leads to fatal error "duplicate OIDs" (EIP17233)
Context: This applies only for a document that does not support TextIDs (see File | Properties, page "Document Info"), or that has "TextIDs editable" set to "Yes" or "No", not "Completion only" (see File | Properties, page "Authorization"). If you "Replace reference by copy" e.g. for a diagnostic instance, the copy will have OIDs (ObjectIDs) identical with the source. As a result, after you save the file, you cannot open it again. Workaround: do not "replace reference by copy". To repair such a file, please contact Vector.
Graphical telegram view does not correctly display byte order for Intel field data types at bit fields (EIP17246)
Context: e.g. a "Raw Value" datatype with "Bit length / field size" = Field fix", 4 elements, encoding "ASCII", byte order "LowHigh (Intel)", assigned to a bitfield. Since the datatype is a field with 1 byte element size, by definition the byte-order is fix "HighLow (Motorola)", not the one from the datatype. This is now respected in the graphical telegram view. Still open: for encoding "Unicode", the byte order applies two-byte wise (EIP17276 7.0).
Transfer overriden DTC attributes when copying/pasting variants (EIP16987)
"Share identical Diagnostic Instances" shares despite differences in TextID (EIP17218)
Context: Customer specific
VariantCoding DefaultString for bitfield shown with wrong byte order (EIP16237)
Context: Customer specific

Improvements:

Ignore duplicate OIDs if OIDs not used by manufacturer (EIP17261)
Context: To avoid potential issues like EIP17233 above, duplicate OIDs are no more treated as fatal errors except for manufacturers that use OIDs in their diagnostic process.

Imports/Exports:

Customer specific adaptations

With Service Pack 2 Patch 1, the following changes become effective (SP 1 and 2 are included):

Issues solved:

Font problem of output window (EIP17064)
TextId Diff is deactivated when replacing a referenced instance by a copy (EIP17034)
Replacing copy by reference does not preserve textIDs (EIP17036)
Documents are loaded in GUI language instead of user selected language (EIP16978)
Editing last revision overwrites previous revision (EIP17037)
CANdelaStudio crashes when adding a revision history entry (EIP17065)

Exports:

Error in Export of Ethernet interfaces (EIP16951)
Disable warnings from ORC while reading data (EIP17063)
Mapping of COMPARAM "CP_C_REQ_SUG" is not correct (EIP17038)

Imports:

Improve import of 0x19 06 (EIP16937)

With Service Pack 2, the following changes become effective (SP 1 is included):

Issues solved:

Document update: update const/default value of a data object even if primary properties are not editable (EIP16709)
Context: menu Edit|"Document upgrade" (const/default value are "secondary" properties)
Graphical telegram table frozen (EIP16885)
Context: Display telegram with several 100 bytes
Ensure dictionary setup is available in Standard Edition (EIP16804)
Context: Dictionary setup is now in Tools|Options, page "Edit", available in Standard Edition (see EIP547 for 6.5 SP 1)
Many minor issues solved

User interface improvements:

Shortcut Qualifier (ODX Service/Job) Overview (EIP9587) Menu "View"
Simplified input of linear data types (EIP3809)
Context: linear data type dialog, page "Linear", after checking "Lower limit (raw)", you may enter the physical value (dito for upper limit)
Allow plugin execution on current document (EIP12828)
Context: Menu "Tools"
Replace copy by reference into Common Diagnostics (EIP1977)
Context: edit menu and context menu of non-referenced diagnostic instances/job containers
Case-insensitive string filters (EIP15525)
Context: Unified filter mechanism for DTC table, 0x19 0x06 wizard, diagnostic class overview, TextID and term selection dialog: filter is case-insensitive, filter applied automatically after short time period
Consistency check: CAN functional addressing only for SingleFrame (EIP16347) Context: constraints check warns (does not hinder exports) if CAN functional request length exceeds 6 bytes (for extended or mixed addressing) or 7 bytes (otherwise). There will be a plug-in to automatically remove functional addressing from all such requests of a document (please contact Vector).
Consistency check: "non-Unique service prefix" violation only once (EIP16338)
Context: if Tools|Options|"Check for uniqueness" is un-checked, show the message only once. Check this option in order to see all individual violations.
Consistency check: called via hotkey (EIP15434)
Context: menu Tools|"Check document consistency" = key F9
Order of exports in menu optimized (EIP16668)
Context: menu File|Exports
Action for HTML report (EIP15779)
Context: menu Tools|Actions
New action variable that holds last exported ODX version (EIP16250)
Context: menu Tools|Actions
Tools|Options - Hide Apply button (EIP16307)
Context: "Apply" button was not supported anyway
Hint about opening in other language without confirmation (EIP14229)
Context: if a CDD has been opened in another language than the current CANdelaStudio GUI language, CANdelaStudio no more shows a message box but writes the hint to the log. This helps e.g. when you drag'n drop many files onto CANdelaStudio.
Help for invalid values (EIP12473)
Context: help button in data type dialog, page "Invalid values"
Help for allowed values of data type termination (EIP16019)
Context: see online help "Info on string termination"

TextID features:

Improve usability of TextID features (EIP16556)
Context: in TextID mode "Edit", show control with existing TextID of the caller's object in the dictionary dialog
Show TextID (TID) in Standard View for jobs (EIP16462)
Context: "General" page of the jobs property dialog

Other improvements:

Allow multiple complex data types of variable length (EIP16887)
Context: In a request or positive response that contains multiple proxy components, even a non-final component may contain a variable length complex data type (e.g. a packet or iteration data type), as long as the data type length can be determined at run-time. The feature will not normally be used, it helps for ODX data exchange (OEM specific).
Report includes attributes at template data (EIP11355)
Avoid warning dialogs when called via command line (EIP16754)
Context: Suppress all message boxes (beta warning, tip of the day, marketing survey) if the command line parameter "/q" has been specified
Performance optimization for VCK loading (EIP16784)
Context: Customer specific

Exports:

Freeze ODX export options (EIP16522)
Context: modifications of options in the Tools|Options|"ODX Export" property page are disabled when EnableODXExportOptions=0 in the CANdelaStudio.ini file
New option "Create matching request parameter for positive responses" (EIP16727)
Context: Tools|Options|"ODX Export"
New option "Use POS-RESPONSE-SUPPRESSABLE" (EIP16738)
Context: Tools|Options|"ODX Export" (option applies to ODX 2.2.0 export)
