Easy generation of SDO tests:
- The revised Test Wizard assists you in generating a complete SDO test quickly and conveniently. The test checks the SDO download protocol and the SDO upload protocol. All that you need to generate the test is the EDS file for the device under test. Test results are analyzed with the help of extensive evaluation options offered by CANoe.
Color highlighting of CANopen services accelerates analysis:
- Bus analysis is simplified considerably by using separate colors for different CANopen services in the Trace Window. A font and background color may be defined for each category to recognize messages easier and faster. Message categories include: SDOs, PDOs, EMCY-, SYNC- and NMT messages. CAN messages that are part of a SDO protocol, for example, are detected and shown in the appropriate color.
Signal support provided in device access:
- Per CiA311, EDS files can be saved in XML format. One aspect of this standard is that it permits subdividing an object’s value into signals. Accordingly, a digital 8-bit input value can be described by 8 separate signals. In accessing a device it is possible to perform specific manipulations and display object values via signals, provided that they have been described in the EDS file.
Node-specific saving of databases improves organization:
- Besides the existing global saving of databases, you can now also save them node-specifically. In node-specific saving, a separate CAN database is created for each node. It contains all messages that can be assigned to a node. This leads to considerably better organization, making it easier to select messages or signals.
Optimized Network Management:
- NMT commands are now sent directly from the CANoe toolbar. You can specify whether the command should be sent globally or to a specific node here.
