ECU Calibration with CANape

CANape's primary area of application is optimal parameterization (calibration) of ECUs. While the measurement is running, you change parameters and record signals at the same time. Communication between CANape and the ECUs takes place via protocols such as XCP or via microcontroller-specific interfaces with the VX1000 hardware. In addition, CANape supports various ADAS sensors such as radar, LIDAR and video. Combined with powerful hardware, CANape is capable of storing several gigabytes of data per second. Calibration data management and convenient measurement data evaluation including data management and reporting make CANape a complete tool for ECU calibration. Of course, CANape provides access to bus, diagnostic and analog measurement data.

Advantages

  • Universally applicable platform through use of standards and open interfaces
  • Time-synchronous acquisition and recording of measurement data from a wide variety of sources, such as ECUs, vehicle buses, ADAS sensors, analog measurement technology, etc. 
  • Process-safe logging solution through interaction with CANape log
  • Automated measurement data evaluation through data mining locally on the hard disk and in the measurement data management system vMDM in the cloud
  • Conveniently adjust and save parameters and manage them locally on your own PC. Or transfer directly to the server- or cloud-based vCDM calibration data management system.
  • High-performance connection to ECUs and sensors (radar, LIDAR, video ...) with highest measurement data rates via the VX1000 product family or Automotive Ethernet
  • Convenient integration of analog measurement technology with high sampling rates (e.g. high-voltage measurements at the inverter with 1MHz sampling rate)
  • High-precision calculation of e.g. power values of the electric drive with the functions of the eMobilityAnalyzer library during the measurement or based on measurement data
  • Extensive coupling to Matlab/Simulink 
  • Rapid prototyping platform as an efficient runtime environment for code and models
  • Open interfaces for third-party hardware integration
  • Integrated programming language for calculations and automation of CANape
     

Application Areas

Application Area Measurement & Calibration

Calibration

The characteristic values are displayed either alphanumerically or graphically. Freely definable panels allow an individual user interface for the display and adjustment of characteristic values. The characteristic value adjustment offers the following functionality:

Screenshot CANape Calibration windows
You can conveniently visualize and modify the various types of parameters in the calibration windows
  • You adjust characteristic values either online in the ECU's memory or offline in CANape's "mirror memory". The offline mode allows you to preprocess or postprocess ECU parameters without being connected to the ECU.
  • Parameter adjustment in parallel with measurement data acquisition
  • All parameters of an ECU can be calibrated in a single window, the Parameter Explorer
  • Structures with parameters can be viewed holistically in the Parameter Explorer
  • Flashing of code and/or data
  • A parameter set with the parameter values valid at the time of measurement can be generated from the measurement file
  • Parameter sets can be combined to form new versions and the data can be fed back into software development via C, H or MATLAB M files.
  • Parameter set files are managed in vCDMStudio
  • Parameter set files can be loaded and visualized and edited in adjustment windows. Thus also mass operations on parameter set files are possible.
     

Measurement Data Acquisition

Overview
Features in CANape

CANape uses the CCP and XCP measurement and calibration protocols to acquire ECU-internal measurement variables synchronously with ECU processes. ECU measurement data is recorded synchronously in time with the other measurement data and displayed in a wide variety of ways. Use several independent recorders in parallel to record measurement data. 

Show more
  • Record time-synchronous data from ECUs, ADAS sensors (video, radar, lidar, ..), bus systems, analog measurement variables, and much more 
  • Unlimited measurement files thanks to the ASAM measurement data format MDF 4.x
  • Maximize data transfer from ECUs through optimized DAQ lists 
  • Analyze bus communication in the trace window
  • Calculate additional quantities during the measurement, such as the electrical power in the inverter
  • Minimize the amount of data through sophisticated trigger options with pre- and post-trigger times 
  • Various window types and user-definable panels are available for graphical display

ECU Communication

If the possibilities of XCP in the ECU are no longer sufficient, the VX1000 product family is used. For high data throughput with minimal or no runtime influence on the ECU, data is accessed via microcontroller-specific data trace and debug interfaces.  The VX1000 base module is connected to the PC via XCP on Ethernet. The VX1000 measurement hardware is connected to the controller via a POD (Plug-On Device). This allows you to acquire all data even from very powerful ECUs and ADAS sensors, such as radar or video. In the vehicle, on the test bench or in the laboratory. 

The following additional ECU interface manufacturers are supported:

  • Yokogawa's measurement solution RAMScope via AUD interface.
  • ETAS XCP-on-Ethernet interface for vehicle ECUs FETK and XETK

Bus-Based Measurement Technology

Vector hardware products give you access to all typical bus systems: CAN, CAN FD, FlexRay, LIN, Automotive Ethernet and Ethernet. Messages that comply with an automotive-typical standard (e.g. described by arxml, Fibex or DBC) are directly supported. If you use your own protocols, e.g. via Ethernet, these can be included via a separate driver.

    ADAS sensors provide detailed information about the vehicle's environment. The data is analyzed by the sensor, road users are identified and information (position, speed ...) is described as data objects. The sensor sends these data objects to fusion ECUs in the form of object lists.
    For verification, you capture the data objects and visualize them clearly in special ADAS windows in CANape. These also display additional information, such as position data and videos from reference cameras. This allows you to quickly and easily identify where in the environment the objects were detected.

    vSignalyzer is derived from CANape. All data evaluation options in CANape work exactly the same way in vSignalyzer.

    Your CANape license is installed in your vehicle, but you want to analyze your data at your desk? Simply continue using CANape. You only need one vSignalyzer license. CANape recognizes it and you can analyze your data without a vSignalyzer installation.

    Start CANape without a license and work in restricted mode. In this mode projects and configurations can be edited freely. Data analysis requires a license.

    Your CANape projects contain many hundreds of megabytes of description files (A2L, ARXML, ..)? Please excuse me, but it takes time to load these data volumes.

    To save you time, you can simply use vSignalyzer to load your CANape projects. This is fast because the description files are ignored. You will quickly see your configuration and the measured values. You do not need a separate license. vSignalyzer also works with a CANape license.

    Show more

    In the Simulink model or C code, you define your function and place the CANape I/O function blocks at the inputs and outputs of the model. After code generation, compilation and linking, a DLL is available for integration in CANape.

    In CANape, the model's inputs and outputs are linked to the real signals from the ECU. An easy-to-perform configuration change automatically moves the bypassing algorithm from CANape to the VN8900. In the process, all relevant data and configurations are loaded into the VN8900. At runtime of the model on the VN8900, you acquire the necessary input data from the ECU via the VX1000 hardware, XCP on Ethernet, XCP on CAN, CAN, FlexRay, or I/O. The VN8900 is then used for the configuration. The results of the algorithm are again sent to the ECU via the same path. You then use CANape to measure and adjust both the bypass algorithm on the VN8900 and the code in the ECU.
