The next generation Ethernet interfaces support analysis, simulation, testing and validation of Automotive Ethernet networks.
They are suitable for a wide range of in‑vehicle and laboratory use cases, from compact setups to high‑performance test environments.
Highlights
- Flexible test setups: Freely configurable interconnection of Automotive Ethernet ports enables analysis, test and simulation configurations.
- Expandable systems: Combination of multiple interfaces and alternative PC connections via USB or Ethernet enables scalable test setups with higher port counts and time‑synchronous integration using IEEE 1588 PTP.
- Extensive Ethernet packet filters: Port‑based access and extensive packet filters reduce PC load by processing only relevant Ethernet packets.
- Configurable topologies: Simple and complex network topologies can be mapped on the interface across one or multiple networks and interfaces.
- Central configuration: All interfaces are centrally managed and configured using the Vector Hardware Manager with graphical topology visualization.
