Visual Studio Extension for Diagnostic Sequence Authoring

The Visual Studio extension provides a professional development environment for diagnostic sequence authoring using the Vector Diagnostics Scripting (VDS) Library in C#.

It provides support for different project types: pure VDS projects (CDD/ODX-based diagnostics), OBD projects and vFlash custom actions (pre-/post-programming scripts).

Features:

• Configuration of CANdelaStudio databases (CDD) and ODX/PDX-containers for IntelliSense and debugging
• IntelliSense for ECU qualifiers, request qualifiers, parameters and parameter values
• Code Analyzers for applying best practices (qualifier correctness, data conversions, memory management)
• Debugging of diagnostic sequences using Vector hardware (e.g. VN16xx) or Virtual CAN even against real ECUs or vehicles + Debugging features integrated in Microsoft Visual Studio® like Breakpoints, Watch Window, …
• Special Diagnostic Trace window for analysis of bus communication
• Creation of Indigo Pack&Go for instant usage in Vector Indigo and optional download to vScriptDiagnostics for standalone execution of sequences on the Vector VN8810
• Extensive test-framework for diagnostic sequences with support for MSTest, NUnit and XUnit
• Mocking-framework to inject faults (e.g. communication error) and test the robustness of the code
• And much more!

Software Requirements:

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2015/2017/2019
• License of Indigo (5 or higher), vFlash (4 or higher) or vScriptDiagnostics
