Flexible Recording of Measurement Data

Whoever acquires measurement data from a variety of sources needs a reliable system that records data in a synchronized manner. The Vector solutions give you access to the following:
- Variables, parameters, characteristic curves, and maps in the ECU
- Bus information from CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and Ethernet/BroadR-Reach,
- Analog and digital signals from different external measurement systems
- Video and audio data
- GPS information that originates from the CAN bus or a dedicated GPS receiver
Your Support for Measurements
The following tools facilitate the time-synchronized real-time acquisition and visualization of ECU-internal signals with CCP/XCP, KWP2000, and UDS, signals from CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet and MOST buses, as well as external measurement technology:
-
CANape – The all-round tool for measurement and calibration of ECUs
-
vMeasure exp – Reliably solving complex measurement tasks
-
vMeasure CSM – Easy acquisition and evaluation of measurement data
-
vMDM – Professional Measurement Data Management
-
VX1000 – Scalable measurement and calibration hardware for maximum data transmission rates
-
VX0312 – Network Interface for Ethernet/BroadR-Reach and CAN
Measurement Software

CANape
CANape displays the measurement results during the recording in various windows as needed. This enables a fast initial online analysis. All data always receive a time stamp and are stored in a time-synchronized manner. This helps you to evaluate the information offline later on.

vMeasure exp
vMeasure exp is a flexible measurement software solution that provides you with efficient support in the laboratory, at the test stand, during test drives and endurance tests. With vMeasure exp, you can conveniently record physical values, internal ECU signals as well as signals sent via the vehicle bus.

vMeasure CSM
The vMeasure CSM measurement and analysis software is the ideal supplement to CAN- and EtherCAT-based measurement modules of CSM. With vMeasure CSM you have a convenient tool for configuring your measurement, synchronously acquiring physical values, and storing these values in MDF format. Recording of GPS and video data is also supported.

Measurement Data Management
vMDM

vMDM is the solution for efficient management of large data volumes from development, test bench operation and vehicle tests. With vMDM, you can save your measurement data securely, protect it against unauthorized access and simplify the exchange of measurement data between distributed teams. Large-scale CPU-intensive analyses, classifications and reports are performed centrally on a server without any computational requirements on the engineer’s workstation.

ECU Measurement

VX1000
The VX1000 system is a scalable solution with maximum performance for your measurement and calibration tasks. It forms the interface between the ECU and a measurement and calibration tool such as CANape. For high data throughput with minimum runtime effects on the ECU, access is by means of microcontroller-specific data trace and debug interfaces.
