With Service Pack 3, the following changes become effective: 

General:

• Trace window
  • The Trace Output window can be split into two views. With this functionality you can analyze different time segments in parallel.
  • If you mark a signal of a message in the Trace window, the position of the signal is highlighted in the data field.
  • In the Date/Time column the real time with date and time can be displayed additionally. This information is also calculated in offline analysis.
• Visual Sequencer
  • The sorting of commands is clearer and they are easier to select.
  • You can use the Check command to integrate simple checks into your sequences.
  • With the Write command you can write results to a file.
  • You can use the Visual Sequencer in Standalone mode as well.
  • You can also convert existing generators directly into visual sequences.
• The State Tracker now also supports data history (like the Trace and Graphics windows).
• Standalone mode with the VN8900
  • All data can now be written to a BLF log file. You can configure the write functionality (e.g. filters, addition of supplemental data) via a CAPL node.
  • System messages are logged automatically on the VN8900. You can display these in the Standalone dialog and the Standalone Manager.
  • In the Standalone dialog and the Standalone Manager, you can upload files created during a measurement to the user PC.
  • You can load several configurations to the VN8900 and select one of them for the next measurement.
  • You can now query VN8900 status data via the Standalone Manager (e.g. active configuration, processor load, currently running measurement).
• You can now use the Vector GL3000 and GL4000 data loggers as hardware devices for monitoring purposes.
• It is easier to launch .NET debuggers via the GUI.
• VT System
  • The new CurBit system variable in the digital VT2516 module returns the current bit value.
  • Examples in the help files illustrate the use of the VT System.
• Start Values window
  • You can now select and configure multiple objects simultaneously.
  • You can also reset the start values for one or more objects during a measurement.
• Monitoring Mode with GL3000/GL4000: CANoe can use the loggers GL3000 & GL4000 as monitoring interface and thereby observe the bus systems in the vehicle.
• CANoe can now also read the TTL logging file format.

Diagnostics Feature Set:

• The Diagnostics/ISO-TP Configuration dialog has been revised. The tree structure enables you to navigate more easily and gives you a clearer view of the diagnostics descriptions.
• MDX diagnostics files for Ford are now supported.
• K-Line: The timing parameters can now be modified; You can now specify whether or not "ECHO of bytes sent" is expected.

Test Feature Set:

• General
  • Documentation added that describes the possibility to run LabVIEW Virtual Instruments (VIs) in CANoe. Integration via FastDataExchange (FDX) is described in separate document, see link in start menu.
  • Test report now contains additional information about a used VT System.
• VXT language (VXT = Vector XML test module)
  • New possibility to affect the control flow within test cases that supports if clauses and loops. Usage intended to increase the reuse of test sequences mentioned in VXT.
  • Test functions that use fault memory <faultmem*> can now be used also with KWP2000 (besides UDS).
  • FlexRay symbol resolution corrected in the case that buses are deactivated.
  • Test function <diagservice> slightly extended to supervise and observe p2/p2ext even on timeout.
  • Gateway check <requestresponsecheck> is now able to handle not routed values like SNA and to treat them as correct behavior.
• .NET testing language
  • Support of further reporting functions directly in .NET code.
  • Additional constructors for dynamic signals are available (use objects from database).
  • Overloading of CAPL test functions is now possible, even if called from .NET.
  • External references can now be set also in structured main method by AddExternalRef.
  • Occurrence Count check is now available also in .NET.
  • Rename of CAPL library – that is used within .NET test module – is now supported better.
• CAPL: Log file name can be changed now from test modules without workaround.
• Misc
  • Test execution dialog retains current state of test case tree (expanded/collapsed).
  • Test execution dialog extended for better observing of currently executed test steps.
  • Test execution dialog corrected regarding the option to filter for failed test cases only.
  • <diagservice> is now able to ignore faulty response formats.
  • Tester interaction dialogs now always create an entry in task bar; the dialog is then accessible even if opened in background.
  • Tester interaction dialog's layout determination has been enhanced.

Option .LIN:

• Basic support of LIN2.2 LIN Description Files

Option .MOST:

• VN2640: Enhanced feature set of the MOST150 Interface of Vector
  • Support of Electrical Control Line (ECL): Signal sequences can be defined in CAPL which are replayed on the ECL with a time resolution of 1 µs. The configuration of the glitch filter of the ECL receiver allows to either suppress or explicitly receive noise pulses on the ECL.
  • Support of synchronous channels/audio features:
    • Synchronous channels can now be streamed to or fed from the PC via USB.
    • A demo configuration can be found in Demo_MOST_CN\MOST150_Streaming.
    • The S/PDIF output can now be muted from CAPL via MostSetSyncSpdifMute.
    • The bandwidth which can be allocated in the synchronous area, is no longer limited to two audio channels. Now, you can allocate as much bandwidth as you like, e.g. to provoke bandwidth shortages in the MOST150 system.
  • Extended stress modes
    • Blocking the receive buffers for control messages, data and Ethernet packets.
    • The number of low level retries for bus load messages can be configured now.
    • The minimum delay between AMS messages can now be configured to be shorter, to reach a higher throughput.
    • MOST messages with variable length feature now also a start of frame timestamp, to allow for a more comfortable measurement of cycle times and message distances.
• Symbolic representation of acknowledgements in the Trace window and access to the flags PAck and CAck.
• MOST High Protocol (MHP)
  • The file with the data of an accomplished transmission of an MHP packet can now be immediately accessed, e.g. to display image contents in a panel. In former versions the MHP connection had to be closed before.
  • Automatic configuration of buffer sizes dependant of the used speed grade.
  • The MHP implementation was adapted to the MHP Specification 2V3-1.
• VAG TP 2.0 over MOST is now included in the VAG Addon. The VAG Addon now contains a modeling library which allows direct access to MOST ECUs via TP 2.0
