Version History

2009-09-30: CANape 8.0 SP1

This service pack has been replaced by SP5. Please contact our support team if you require a previous version.

With Service Pack 1, the following changes become effective:

User Operation and Display:

New macro {PROJECTFILE} to get the file name of the currently loaded project.
Scripts added to a toolbar or assigned to a hotkey can be executed during measurement.
Suppress initial upload of the configured RAM if HEX file and checksum is available.
Fixed problem with protected configuration having a floating graphic window.
Fixed problem with lost input signals of virtual file signals in case of cascaded virtual signals.
Corrected output of Format column in calibration window.
Fixed problem when deleting components of a structure from display windows.
Improved performance of graphic window redraw during calculation of envelope curve (background thread).
Fixed a drawing problem in graphic window in case of disabled signals and display of envelope curve.
Fixed problem when saving signals from a graphic window which contains signals from multiple MDF files with equal internal block structure.
Keep sort order when inserting measurement signals into measurement configuration.
Fixed scrolling problem in measurement configuration browser in case the third party tool "Hardcopy" is installed.

Communication Protocol:

CCP: 32 bit to 16 bit float conversion considers Intel/Motorola format settings.
XCP: Byte order in extended settings of a generated XCP device depends on the A2L settings (Intel/Motorola) if available.
Update CAL ram and unlock CAL resource after menu item "Flash | Save and Flash par file..." has been executed.

Offline Analysis of Measurement Files:

Vector Logging import converter stops conversion and reports a warning when the created MDF file exceeds the 4 GB limitation of MDF 3.x.
Pre and Post Calculation function for virtual signals can be removed again.
Performance optimization for loading MDF files which contain many signals with a verbal conversion table.
Changed calculation of envelope curve to prevent gaps during display.
Fixed problem in Data window when replacing MDF files and displaying structures.
Fixed rounding problem in MDF Library when writing signed integer values.
Fixed possible blocking of Data Mining server after first run.

Database:

ELF/DWARF Map file reader supports a new option to use names of all inherited classes as prefix for member names.

Calibration Data Management:

Fix problem for command "Load parameter set": setting "Validate with CDM-Studio" will be evaluated.
Support Japanese character set for pre-defined history entries in CDF20 component and in generic report component.
Save newly created parameter set in the pre-defined format when executing command "Save as...".

MATLAB/Simulink Support:

Support automatic generation of global variables for the MATLAB/Simulink block "Buffered Input".

Diagnostics:

CANditoFlash: File open dialogs now start with working directory.
Added possibility to use two devices with equal communication parameters although one is not active.
Variant selection: user will be informed when an invalid variant has been selected.

COM Interface:
