CANoe 15 - All New Features

Domain General Focus Areas

General

• C Library 2.0

  • Support for the platforms Windows_x64 and Linux_x64 and compiler support for Mingw-w64.

• Communication Concept (SOA)

  • New Application Panel for manual stimulation of application layer objects.
    • On the consumer side: 
      - Get and Set calls can be made on fields
      - Methods can be called
    • On the provider side:
      - an event can be triggered

  • To improve the clarity, bindings can be deactivated via the ribbon.

  • Endpoints of a participant can be distributed in the system setup via drag and drop.

  • Elements from the graphical representation of the communication relationship can be distributed in the system setup via drag and drop.

  • Simplified import of changed data sources.

  • Distributed Objects (DO)

    • Signal generators now directly support distributed objects. No mapping to system variables is necessary any more.

    • Python can be used for programming application models with distributed objects (DO).

    • With the new data type bytes a variable number of opaque bytes can be transferred.

    • In CAPL and C#, handlers for interface members can also be used (e.g. on any_value_change or [OnAnyCall]) and thus the same implementation can be used for many objects.

    • Using C# binding, a special transfer can be implemented for individual members.

• Logging

  • Different attributes can now be entered in the global logging configuration.

  • Attributes can be written manually or using field functions.

• .NET Programming

  • With the UserEventCriterion one can wait for a manually set event, which signals e.g. a working step of a background thread.

  • The creation of type libraries can be selected per database.

  • Type libraries for very large databases no longer generate errors due to too many string constants.

• Offline Mode

  • For each logging file an offset for the delay of the playback start can now be specified.

  • Comments in the header of a logging file are now displayed in the offline configuration.

  • A new CAPL event is available for detecting the start of playback of a logging file.

  • Contents from different logging file can now be read sequentially.

  • Time ranges and breakpoints can now be configured independently of each other.

• PDU Interactive Generator (PDU IG)

  • Multiple PDU windows can now be instantiated.

• Replay

  • Replay of secured PDUs including adapting of security parameters is only possible.

  • There is a new event procedure which can be used to react on state changes of the replay block.

• Vector Tool Platform / Standalone Mode / Distributed Mode

  • CAPL function SetLogFileName can also be used in standalone mode.

  • The settings for the distributed mode can be configured via COM.

  • Using command line option -getConfigFile in Standalone Manager, configuration files for standalone mode (file extension .RTCFG) can be retrieved from the RT Hardware and copied to the user computer.

  • In addition to the automation capabilities offered by the Standalone Manager command line options, Vector Tool Platform and CANoe/CANalyzer RT kernel settings and associated files on the RT hardware (e. g., logging files) can also be accessed via REST API.
