Additional fix in SP5b: Updated version of the EffectiveODX Viewer

 

With Service Pack 5 (Build 50), the following changes become effective (SP1, SP2, SP3, and SP4 are contained):

Improved User Operation and Display

• A video device is disconnected if it is unplugged.
• A MATLAB/Simulink object associated device can be deleted also if the same input object is used multiple times.
• Windows 7: File dialogs are always using working directory as initial directory.
• Windows 7: Improved functionality of hyperlinks in CANape online help.
• CANconv: Fixed issue which mixed messages from different logical channels into same MDF channel for J1939 or FlexRay.
• Improved import of CANape configuration files.
• CANape script function "Exit()" is reported in DEBUG_LOG file.
• Improved displaying bits within digital window.
• Measurement can be started though MDI window is undocked.
• Saving of triggered measurement files has been optimized.
• Improved multimedia sync signal adaption which comes from BLF file.

Communication Protocol

• XCP: Optimization of upload procedure.
• XCP on Ethernet: Support of IGNORE_CTR_FAULTS.
• Fixed issue for KWP2000 usage without license available (offline mode).
• Fixed buffer overflows when measuring large amount of data.
• Reduced MDF file size for FlexRay measurements.
• LIN: Added support for CANcard XLe.
• FlexRay: Fixed issue which affected MDF file generation when measuring null frames.

Extended Measurement Data Acquisition

• Multimedia signals with multiple trigger points can be stored in one MDF file.
• Improved saving of signals to MDF via script function "SaveDisplayBuffers" or via pop-up menu in measurement window.
• Improved saving of signals to MDF via pop-up menu in measurement window concerning start time.
• XCP: Improved memory allocation for large measurement configurations.
• XCPonEthernet: Improved memory allocation in case of measurement with high data rate

Offline Analysis of Measurement Files

• Project management: Measurement files referenced by file channels are only listed once.
• MDFLib: Support of files with INT64 timestamps, possibility to correct additional records.
• MDFLib: Improved creation of MDF 3.2 files concerning timestamps.

Database

• Improved import of structures from CDD to A2L.
• ASAP2 Editor: Improved saving of units for standard axis.
• Improved support of map files containing long record names (>128 characters).
• ASAP2 Editor: Updating the database addresses updates the structure tree.
• CCP/XCP: Improved funtionality of option "Reconnect after flashing".
• Improved saving of conversion tables to database.
• Improved saving of A2L if AML contains an ENUM value with more than 2 Bytes
• ASAP2Editor: Improved handling of A2L files containing empty structs in IF_DATA section

Calibration Data Management (Parameter Sets & CDM Studio)

• Display a message if an A2L file is loaded into CDM-Studio which includes a CHARACTERISIC with wrong ALIGNMENT.
• CDM-Studio: Display the correct tool tip (selected Filter(s)) in current device column. For 'snapshot' columns the snapshot timestamp appears as tooltip.
• EXCEL-Report now displays no value instead of an invalid value if the parameter set has no parameter. Also it displays the parameter name in the correct column.
• Support save parameter set as MatrixX (*.ms) file.
• In Case of CDF20 file deny copy&paste of variant coded parameter if target parameter set does not support variant coded parameters.
• Improved handling of A2L files which contains not correctly described parameters, e.g. if a parameter refers a curve axis as x-Axis but this object is declared as common axis.
• Fix in detail window "format specific information" in case of multi selection and if the parameter set is based on PaCo format.
• Update the filter content correctly if the option "Display referenced and defined parameter" is changed.
• Set the read only state of the 2D/3D detail window correctly if the CDF20 complete state option is changed or the state itself is modified.

Extended MATLAB/Simulink Support

• The Model Explorer displays also parameters without write access.

Calibration

• Fixed KWP2000 bit calibration issue.
• Fixed issue which affected calibration memory initalization in case hex file name is derived from database.
• Improvement in update calibration window content to support calculation of MDF signals.
• The automatic snapshot creation after „Flash | Save parameter set + merge in binary file„ is executed correctly.
• Improved handling of calibration history to support changing of parameter of type MAP or CURVE if a measurement is running.
• Corrected visualization of state of increment "+" and decrement "-" buttons in the calibration window.
• 2D/3D window: save setting "Different Z-axis scale" to configuration file.

Diagnostics

• Improved CANditoFlash stability.
• Suppressed unnecessary warnings when flashing via diagnostic protocols.

COM Interface

• Fixed issue when reading data via COM interface.

Known Issues

• CCP: Write/read A2l Parameter BYTES_ONLY
• Seed and Key: No error handling of floating point calculations.

Advanced Multimedia

• Support of same CAN signal names of different CAN messages as object reference for gfx object properties: :$CAN_Message$CAN_Signal
• Access to ML/SL object output structure components from gfx object properties.
• Corrected adjustment of graphic object group buttons in Multimedia window.
