• Deactivation of bit inversion via CAPL function LINDeactivateBitInversion
• Transmission of a long dominant disturbance i.e. simulation of short circuit between LIN and GND
• Transmission of a long recessive disturbance i.e. simulation of short circuit between LIN and Vbat (requires LINcab/piggy 6259mag or 7259mag with external power suppy)
• Support of baudrates higher than 20 kBaud (up to max. 30 kBaud) for test purposes
• Configuration of interbyte space up to 4095 bits via CAPL functions LINSetGlobalInterByteSpace, LINSetInterByteSpace, LINSetInterByteSpaces
• Transmission of wakeup signals with a length of up to 12.75 ms via CAPL funciton LINSendWakeup

Trace Window Improvements:

• Support of LIN signals with multiple phyiscal encodings
• LIN2.0 headers longer than 47.6 bit times are now detected and show as error (for LIN1.3, headers up to 49 bits are allowed)
• Interpretation of a Slave Response following a Read-By-Id (ID=0) now also shows the variant
• Response data bytes are now displayed also for receive errors

Logging, Replay and Offline Mode Improvements:

• ASCII logging format has been extended to include start-of-frame time stamps, sync break and delimiter lengths
• LIN bus statistics can now be logged and replayed also in offline mode
• Event triggered frame info events can now be replayed

Support of 24V physical layer (requires LINcab/piggy 7259mag)

Firmware scheduler for highly deterministic Master simulation (requires XL-hardware)

Panel Generator (see Panel Editor) now supports LDFs and can be used to generate panels for LIN nodes

New LIN demos for demonstration of CANoe.LIN's diagnostic features and LIN2.0 features, e.g. reconfiguration, event-triggered, sporadic and dynamic frames.

Other Improvements:

• The hardware settings such as protocol version and baudrate can now be changed without any LIN hardware being connected.
• Changes made to an opened LDF or NCF are now automatically detected by the LIN File Editor
• Simulated LIN Master now wakes up on receiving a long dominant signal e.g. wakeup signal > 5 ms
• Test Feature Set for LIN has been extended to include functions for waiting for a checksum error and a sync error

MOST

Support of OP2 and CCO logging formats:

• After installing MOSTlog.DLL, the OP2 and CCO logging formats can be read. This is supported in Offline Mode, for Replay Blocks and importing in Trace Windows. The installation file can be found in the CANoe/CANalyzer installation directory Exec32Util_MOST.

Data and Graphic Window:

• MOST parameters can now be easier selected into the Data Window and Graphic Window. A new option allows to display only properties in the selection dialog. In addition, the windows and tooltips display more meaningful information about identification of the parameters.

Trace Window:

• Unicode support for disassembly of string parameters. Selecting the respective character set, for example, can also display Japanese characters.
• A complete, single-line disassembly of MOST messages is displayed in the detail view that allows the disassembly to be copied to the clipboard.

CAPL functions for XML function catalog support:

• mostMsgSet now also works for parameters with multiple bytes.
• The CAPL functions now provide more specific error messages in the Write Window for
• runtime errors. The error return values have been reworked and are now unique.

MOST Application Socket:

• Network master and Power master: The instance IDs can be configured in CAN.INI, the instance IDs to be used by CANoe can be set in the [MOSTApplicationSocket] section with the 'NetworkMasterInstID=0' and 'PowerMasterInstID=0' parameters.
• Network master: A new ring scan is now performed only if absolutely necessary according to the MOST specification.
• Power master: New CAPL functions allow to control the OverTemparture behavior of the PM (MostPMSetOverTemperature(); MostPMResetOverTemperature ()). The wake-up behavior of the PM can now be emulated according to the MOST specification.
• Timing master: The Timing Master now sets the SBC value to SBC=4, as soon as a ring break is assumed. The SBC value is set to the configured value as soon as stable lock is detected.

MOST COM Interface:

• Access to the MOST interface objects (MostNetworkInterface) is now also possible via "MOST 1", "MOST 2" to "MOST 16", in which the number indicates the channel of the MOST interface. If the same channel is assigned to multiple devices in the Simulation Setup, the first device assigned to the desired channel is transferred.
• Fragmented AMS trasnmissions are now correctly received in the Offline Mode, too.

XML Test Module: The XML test module DTD has been expanded, so that either the MOST channel or the device name can be passed to the test pattern.

FlexRay

Support of FlexCard Cyclone II / E-Ray - new features of the card:

• Monitoring of network startup
• Reception of Null frames
• Configuration of explicit receive buffers
• Support of the maximum payload of 254 bytes
• User configurable Trigger output
• Reception & transmission of symbols
• Firmware update is possible by the customer
• Tx-Acknowledge for "Event-Triggered" frames

Support of Busdoctor releases 1.4 + 1.2

Trace Window:

• Display of cycle multiplexing in Id column. Additionally to the slot Id base cycle and repetition factor are displayed.
• The number of visible payload bytes can be configured. The file CAN.ini contains the key "MaxPayloadByteTrace" in the section [FlexRay]. The default value is 64 byte.

Automatic calculation of the latest possible transmission (pLatestTx) for dynamic frames through CAPL send configurtation. The calculation considers the configured dynamic transmission buffer payloads. (Only for FlexCard cyclone II)

Additional CAPL callbacks:

• on FRFrame *
• on FRFrame DBMsgName, the message name is defined ina FIBEX database
• on FRStartCycle <cyclenumber>
• on FRStartCycle <basecycle,repetition>

• FRSendSymbol(type, param)

Hardware configuration dialog:

• Automatic synchronisation of the FlexCard at synchronistation lost. This feature can be configured on the option page of the hardware.
• Activation of the transmission acknowledge for "Event-Triggered" frames. This feature can be configured on the option page of the FlexCard Cylone II.
• Configuration of the trigger output of the FlexCArd Cyclone II. Three events are available: "StartCycle", "ErrorOccured" and "Startup completed"

Nodelayer interface for FlexRay: The nodelayer interface provides interfaces for the reception and transmission of FlexRay frames for the implementation of user specific CAPL modules.

Other improvements:

• Display of tx nodes in the corresponding trace window column
• Assignment of XML/database editor for FIBEX files (see option dialog).
• Support of the export funktion in the trace window and in the logging block.
