Tools and Services for ECU Calibration
ECU calibration is an iterative process of measurement and calibration at runtime to optimally tune the parameters of your ECU algorithms.
The complete Vector system solution of multifaceted and specialized hardware and software tools covers a broad range of your task areas: from measurement and calibration to diagnostics and flashing for a wide variety of ECU interfaces. These comprehensive solutions support you over the entire development process: from functional development to bypassing and rapid prototyping solutions and finally test bench applications and test drives in the pilot phase and production. A calibration data management system ensures efficient, process-conformant data management while preserving high data quality.
By using high-performance software and hardware solutions you – as an ECU manufacturer or automotive OEM – benefit from Vector’s many years of know-how in the measurement and calibration field.

Analysis & Evaluation
vSignalyzer, CANape and vMDM offer many possibilities for efficient analysis of all types of measurement data.
vSignalyzer is a convenient tool for efficient evaluation and analysis of all types of measurement data. It offers extensive options for data visualization, as well as functions for manual and automated analysis and report generation. | |
CANape offers you numerous options for easy processing and evaluation of data from previous measurements – either manually or automatically. | |
vMDM (Vector Measurement Data Management) is the solution for efficient management of large data volumes from development, test bench operation and vehicle tests. | vMDM |
Diagnostics & Flashing
Detailed ECU diagnostics in the laboratory and in the vehicle
The following tools simplify reliable ECU diagnostics:
CANape’s integrated Diagnostic Feature Set gives you symbolic access to diagnostic data and services, providing the functionality of a full-fledged diagnostic tester | |
Easy to use diagnostic tester, which is largely self-configuring and conceals the complexity of the diagnostic protocols | |
Diagnostics on CAN and over IP with CANoe |
Reliable Reprogramming of ECUs
The following tools make it easier to reprogram your ECU reliably and quickly:
Flash programming with CCP and XCP | |
(Re-)Programming easily and quickly – over CAN, CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet (DoIP) | |
Embedded software for flashing programs and vehicle-related data over CAN, LIN, FlexRay or Ethernet |
ECU Drivers
Vector offers extensive support with free sample implementations of CCP or XCP in your ECU as well as comprehensive consultation and integration services for all aspects of your ECU software.
Further Use Cases
Rapid Control Prototyping provides you with mechanisms for testing control algorithms quickly and efficiently without having to replace the entire ECU software. This approach can be applied with both physical and virtual ECUs. Vector offers extensive support for control algorithm development, stimulation, data fusion, simulation and bypassing.
Description Files for Internal ECU Parameters
The following tools support you in working with ECU description files:
Convenient editing of the ECU description files in ASAP2 format | |
Easily create and edit ECU description files | |
Functional library for reading and writing ASAP2 files |
Description files let the user access internal ECU parameters by symbolic names. A2L files are elementary components of every measurement and calibration operation.
