In analyzing Car2x communication between vehicles and with the roadside infrastructure, CANoe.IP now also supports the wireless interface IEEE 802.11p. The tool simulates traffic scenarios with vehicles and infrastructure and simplifies development and testing of Car2x communication.
Vector has expanded its already extensive training program with a new E-Learning platform. Conveying knowledge via the Internet enables learning under difficult time constraints. It is the participants themselves who determine the time and duration of a learning unit. Besides offering a high level of time flexibility, learning via Internet browser also makes training more efficient, since it eliminates travel time and expenses.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has officially released ODX Version 2.2.0 as a standard for the exchange of diagnostic data (ISO 22901-1:2008). CANdelaStudio 6.0 supports this version of the ODX standard as well. This means that it is now easy for users to generate data in the latest ODX format at the press of a button.
The modular VT System from Vector provides an easy way to implement ECU functional tests. Even in early development phases, ECU coordinators, functional developers and test engineers can achieve a high level of test coverage previously only attained in later phases. The new VT System also supplies values of the ECU’s physical inputs and outputs to the test and analysis tool CANoe, which enables cost-effective testing right at the workbench.
CANdelaStudio from Vector Informatik has been released as an ODX Editor by VW and Audi. The two automotive OEMs now also recommend the use of CANdelaStudio as a tool for describing ODX data to their suppliers. Effective immediately, this gives suppliers the option of using this proven tool from the CANdela product family to create ECU parameter sets in projects for the Volkswagen Group.
Vector is making the new Version 3.4 of its CANeds EDS editor available at the Internet forum www.canopen-forum.com. The complimentary editor handles the difficult and error-prone work involved in manually creating EDS files. It helps CANopen device producers and system integrators avoid later problems when working with CANopen configuration programs. The new Internet forum is a place where CANopen users will find information on CANeds and can share their ideas and experience.
In opening a Vector Great Britain subsidiary in Birmingham on January 1, 2009, Vector Informatik GmbH is responding to the significance of the British market. Starting in January 2009, Vector Great Britain will be marketing the product line-up of the ECU networking specialist directly in the British market. In the future, local electronics developers will be even better supported by close cooperation with Vector’s headquarters in Stuttgart and distributor Accutest, which has assumed responsibility for Vector products to date.
The new 2.1 version of the CANoe/MATLAB Interface simplifies data exchange between the two standard tools considerably, and MATLAB models may be parameterized directly from CANoe. Vector is supplying the interface free-of-charge, and it is part of every CANoe license effective immediately.
Vector`s new FIBEX Explorer pro is a user-friendly editor for the Field Bus Exchange Format (FIBEX). Convenient viewing, editing and expanding of FIBEX data gives FlexRay developers a quick and detailed understanding of the data and its interrelationships. It is not necessary to have specific knowledge of the XML-based file format.
Four new modules now supplement the integrated eASEE Tool Suite. As a result, the process disciplines requirements management, change management, system data management and hierarchical software configuration management are embedded in the development processes represented in eASEE.
Vector is extending its CANape measurement, calibration and diagnostic tool for optimal parameterization of ECUs. Automotive OEMs and ECU developers are supported by the many detailed improvements of Version 7.0 with extended measurement data acquisition options and comprehensive diagnostic capabilities. Developers of FlexRay ECUs will benefit from the FIBEX Explorer and dynamic allocation of XCP bandwidth.
CANoe.IP extends the development and test tool CANoe by adding specific functions for embedded Ethernet systems. As a multi-network tool, CANoe.IP is the natural choice for use in systems with different networks such as CAN and Ethernet. In addition, developers benefit from wireless receiving and sending of CAN messages from mobile or difficult-to-access CAN bus systems (CAN tunneling).
Vector is introducing the new product CANcardXLe, a bus interface for notebooks with an ExpressCard slot. ECU and network developers will benefit from a CAN and LIN interface whose flexibility is based on four independent channels that can be operated with different transceivers.
CANoe.CANopen 4.1 provides comprehensive testing support to developers of CANopen systems and components. This software tool from Vector generates CANopen-specific tests at the press of a button, which can then be run reproducibly in a flexible runtime environment.
A quick overview of vehicle status and uncomplicated access to diagnostic data: That is what Indigo - the new diagnostic tester from Vector - has to offer. Especially on test drives, its simple menuing proves to be exceptionally helpful, letting users complete their diagnostic tasks with a minimum number of commands.
Vector`s contributions within the AUTOSAR development partnership were honored with the presentation of the AUTOSAR Award to Vector Managing Director Dr. Helmut Schelling.
The new version of eASEE from Vector makes it easier for users to manage process and development data across multiple business sites. A new security and roles approach structures controlled access to the data of networked work groups.
