Acquire Bus Signals with DIAdem Easily and Reliably

DIAdem is a software environment from National Instruments for use on standard desktop PCs and laptops. It is used wherever measurement and analysis data is generated. vMeasure Option DIAdem and vMeasure Option DIAdem Basic extend the functional scope of DIAdem with the acquisition of bus signals which are defined in a database.

Advantages

vMeasure Option DIAdem accesses bus signals exclusively by their symbolic names. The raw data is converted automatically into physical values. This is done using conversion rules from the database. If the bus configuration (e.g. conversion rules) changes, it is only necessary to edit the database. The references in the DIAdem measurement structure can be updated automatically. vMeasure Option DIAdem also supports the J1939 protocol (mixed mode J1939 and extended CAN IDs).

Application Areas

vMeasure Option DIAdem can be used in all phases of the development and production of vehicles, where measurement data must be analyzed, compared and presented together with the results in meaningful reports.

vMeasure Option DIAdem makes it possible: signal-oriented measurement of bus systems in DIAdem

Functions

vMeasure Option DIAdem supports simultaneous use of up to 200 CAN channels or 64 FlexRay channels. Other Vector CAN tools as well as applications created with the Vector XL-Driver-Library can be used at the same time and on the same channels. Virtual CAN channels are also available for tests without hardware.

vMeasure Option DIAdem Basic has the same functional scope as Option DIAdem with the exception of the following functions:

No FlexRay support
No support of PDUs or SecOC PDUs
No checksum calculation according to AUTOSAR Profiles 2 and 5

Supported Bus Systems

CAN / CAN FD
FlexRay

Supported database formats:

DBC (for CAN / CAN FD)
FIBEX (for FlexRay)
ARXML (for CAN / CAN FD, FlexRay)

Supported protocol functions:

Receiving signals (CAN / CAN FD, FlexRay)
Sending signals (CAN / CAN FD)
Receiving signals in PDUs (CAN / CAN FD, FlexRay)
Sending signals in PDUs (CAN / CAN FD)
Checksum calculation according to SAEJ1850
Checksum calculation according to AUTOSAR Profiles 2 and 5
Signal multiplexing
J1939
Receiving signals in SecOC PDUs (CAN / CAN FD, FlexRay)
