From Tool to Platform

In 1996, CANape 1.0 was released as a CCP master tool, marking the first time a powerful solution was available for standardized ECU measurement and calibration. This milestone laid the foundation for reproducible and efficient calibration processes in ECU engineering. Today, CANape is one of the leading tools in automotive industry, and still forms the backbone of modern application workflows.

The Complete History

Screenshot 1996
Release of CANape 1.0 as the first CCP master tool. First users develop a tire pressure monitoring system with CANape.
An important component of the success of CANape was Daimler's decision to rely on CCP for transmission development and use CANape as the measurement and calibration tool. Temic, one of the transmission ECUs suppliers, also decided to use CANape. The triumph of CANape as a calibration tool for bus-driven calibration begins.
Daimler and Temic adopted CANape, launching its success as a calibration tool.
