Version History

2010-04-21: CANape 8.0 SP4

This service pack has been replaced by SP5.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

With Service Pack 4, the following changes become effective (SP1, SP2, and SP3 are contained):

Improved user operation and display:

The physical value is always used to visualize the speed in the GPS window.
Measurement cursor in digital windows support integer signals up to 64 bits
Values of signals are displayed in the legend of graphic windows even if drawing of the signal curve is disabled.
Y scaling of signals in Bar windows can be set to a smaller range than 10 even if an integer signal is displayed decimal.
Value displays of Panel windows are cleared if the selected data source not provides this signal.
Scripts started by HTML code via URL are not added permanently to the task manager.
Faster loading and saving of configurations with MATLAB Model Browser windows and a very big MATLAB model.
Problem fixed during execution of script function Fprint() if an input parameter is null.
Problem fixed after partial loading of configurations containing common Y axis.
Improved handling of "switch display pages" to deny that the toolbars are disabled in special cases
Scripts started by a Panel button will use the optionally defined current device.

Communication protocol:

Extended measurement data acquisition:

Some critical script functions are disabled if the script is executed by a Macro.
Signals measured with a single event mode like "On measurement start" are stored in the next trigger block of recorders even if their time stamp is outside the trigger time window.
Problem fixed if multiple recorders access ECU variables during resolving Macros for measurement file comments.

Calibration:

Offline analysis of measurement files:

Synchronization of external captured video data and logged CAN messages.
Size limit of local array variables in scripts is increased to 64 KB
ASCII export converter: Export of measurement files takes into consideration the count of digits during formatting of the time stamps.

Database:

PDB Map Reader extended: Support of bit structures, enumerations and nested arrays.
Problem fixed in the Linker MAP Reader in case of some special COFF map files.
IEEE Map Reader imports enumerations as verbal conversion tables even if there is already a same named conversion table.
Problem fixed when reading a corrupt OMF Map file.
Linker MAP references stored in a CANAPE_EXT Blob of a A2L file will be imported even the AML description of the BLOB is different to the description of the current device.

Calibration data management (Parameter sets & CDM Studio):

During the Save and Flash process a warning is generated if a parameter crosses the borders of two adjacent memory segments.
The script method Device.LoadParameterset supports now maps with dynamic dimension correctly.
Fixed issue when reading the configuration of the CDM-Studio window layout.
Performance improvements in writing CDF20 file which includes MAPs with a big number of axis points.
The feature "Export filter content..." improved, to support generation of parameter set file for parameters which are only visible in child filter
Fixed issue when copying certain parameters of ASCII type in context of CDM-Studio.
If a parameter is read only the menu item "Set dimension" is disabled.
New download to ECU feature for the current device column in the CDM-Studio
Improved handling of feature "Merge parameter sets" in CDM-Studio to support the option "create a new parameter set".
GUI improvements for the generic report component of CDM-Studio to enable selection of post process file.
Improved support of Japanese characters in calibration history
Fixed wrong address calculation of parameters in case of A2L file version 1.6 which includes the SYMBOL_LINK Tag.
Improved handling of application history during the copy and paste operations.

Extended MATLAB/Simulink support:

Diagnostics:

Fixed variant coding window issue
Fault memory: Environment (freeze frame) data can be logged when option "DTC details" is enabled
Fixed issue affecting measurement start

Advanced Multimedia:
