XL-Driver-Library

Driver Library for Vector Hardware Interfaces

The XL-Driver-Library is a universal programming interface you can use to create your own CAN, LIN, FlexRay and MOST applications while accessing Vector's powerful interfaces:

You can get the latest version of the library free-of-charge in our download-center. It contains vxlapi.dll and the .NET wrapper for .NET 1.1 and 2.0 applications.

Access to the Vector interfaces via the XL-Driver-Library

Overview Vector XL-Interface family With its FPGA-based FlexRay communication controller, the VN3300 PCI interface assures future viability and high performance, regardless of whether its primary use is the development, simulation, testing, measurement or calibration of FlexRay networks. With its FPGA-based FlexRay communication controller, the VN3600 USB interface assures future viability and high performance, regardless of whether its primary use is the development, simulation, testing, measurement or calibration of FlexRay networks. VN7600 - USB Interface for FlexRay and CAN The MOST Interface with a USB 2.0 port Hardware interfaces to acquire analog and digital signals in automotive networks. Software, hardware and services for Controller Area Network Software, hardware and services for Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Software, hardware and services for the optical bus Media Oriented Software, hardware and services for FlexRay Features and Advantages:

The XL-Driver-Library provides you with general and bus-specific methods that make it easy to operate the CAN, LIN, FlexRay and MOST interfaces from Vector.
Channels and ports are managed with the general methods. Busspecific methods are used to configure network nodes and to send or receive messages.
It is easy to assign logical application channels to physical device channels via the XL-Driver-Library or with the user-friendly Vector hardware configuration program.
Furthermore, all Vector interfaces for CAN, LIN, FlexRay MOST and digital and analog I/O can be driven in parallel via the library, e.g. for gateway functions. Simultaneous support of more than one channel for each bus system (multi-channel) makes it possible to implement any desired variation of interface capabilities.
