It is not necessary to have specific knowledge of the XML-based file format.
Four new modules now supplement the integrated eASEE Tool Suite. As a result, the process disciplines requirements management, change management, system data management and hierarchical software configuration management are embedded in the development processes represented in eASEE.
Vector is extending its CANape measurement, calibration and diagnostic tool for optimal parameterization of ECUs. Automotive OEMs and ECU developers are supported by the many detailed improvements of Version 7.0 with extended measurement data acquisition options and comprehensive diagnostic capabilities. Developers of FlexRay ECUs will benefit from the FIBEX Explorer and dynamic allocation of XCP bandwidth.
CANoe.IP extends the development and test tool CANoe by adding specific functions for embedded Ethernet systems. As a multi-network tool, CANoe.IP is the natural choice for use in systems with different networks such as CAN and Ethernet. In addition, developers benefit from wireless receiving and sending of CAN messages from mobile or difficult-to-access CAN bus systems (CAN tunneling).
Vector is introducing the new product CANcardXLe, a bus interface for notebooks with an ExpressCard slot. ECU and network developers will benefit from a CAN and LIN interface whose flexibility is based on four independent channels that can be operated with different transceivers.
CANoe.CANopen 4.1 provides comprehensive testing support to developers of CANopen systems and components. This software tool from Vector generates CANopen-specific tests at the press of a button, which can then be run reproducibly in a flexible runtime environment.
A quick overview of vehicle status and uncomplicated access to diagnostic data: That is what Indigo - the new diagnostic tester from Vector - has to offer. Especially on test drives, its simple menuing proves to be exceptionally helpful, letting users complete their diagnostic tasks with a minimum number of commands.
Vector`s contributions within the AUTOSAR development partnership were honored with the presentation of the AUTOSAR Award to Vector Managing Director Dr. Helmut Schelling.
Test sequences used to check for proper application functionality and network communication can be created and parameterized easily and quickly using the new Test Automation Editor. ECU developers, test engineers and technical experts will benefit from the ability to intuitively visualize and edit test cases from CANoe XML test modules. The Test Automation Editor is suitable for the use in all test phases of the development process.
Vector tools and technology contributed to the winning combination that earned the Tartan Racing Team of Carnegie-Mellon University the championship title and coveted first place prize of $2 million at the 2007 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Urban Challenge on November 3, at the former George Air Force Base in Victorville, Calif.
In releasing the new Version 5.5 of CANdelaStudio - the tool for creating diagnostic description data - Vector is further extending its already comprehensive functional features for ODX. Users will benefit from visualization of the ODX data in the newly integrated "EffectiveODX Viewer".
The new version of eASEE from Vector makes it easier for users to manage process and development data across multiple business sites. A new security and roles approach structures controlled access to the data of networked work groups.
The VN7600 FlexRay/CAN USB interface being introduced by Vector is a bus interface with two FlexRay channels and three CAN channels in one device. In bus analyses and simulations, developers of FlexRay/CAN applications benefit from simultaneous access to both bus systems with just one hardware module.
Burscheid/Stuttgart, 2007/10/26 - Johnson Controls has completed its first prototype system utilizing the Vector AUTOSAR Prototype Package. Johnson Controls, is one of the world's leading suppliers of automotive interior systems, electronics, and batteries and is an AUTOSAR premium member. This project consists of multiple electric control units (ECUs) utilizing two different hardware platforms which are connected through a CAN network. The project combines several purposes which result in the migration of the current software architecture to an AUTOSAR profile: Evaluation of AUTOSAR basic software, memory size, and CPU load; automatic code generation; and integration of external software components.
Vector, the leading supplier of solutions for the development of automotive electronics, announces the opening of a new subsidiary in Seoul, Korea. With this step, Vector Informatik GmbH, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, is affirming the importance of the Korean market. Effective immediately Vector Korea will represent Vector`s entire product portfolio in the Korean market. Current and future users will receive a maximum of on-site support.
Vector extends its XL-Driver-Library for the automotive bus systems CAN, LIN and MOST by adding a FlexRay functional library. Furthermore, the Advanced FlexRay-Driver-Library offers extended functions that allow developers of FlexRay applications to utilize Vector`s high-performance FlexRay interfaces in their own applications.
A working committee of numerous automotive OEMs, module producers and communications specialists has - under the auspices of CiA - come to an agreement on a CANopen-based communications protocol. This enables easy integration of taxi meters, radio systems, roof bars and other electronically controlled devices in taxis, police cars and other official vehicles from different automotive OEMs. In this area, Vector offers software components for implementing the ECUs, a modified version of the CANoe.CANopen development and test tool, and consultation and project support.
The new version 6.5 of the CANape measurement and calibration tool from Vector simplifies optimization of ECU-specific parameters in vehicles. In addition to extended bus and protocol support for FlexRay, ECU developers also benefit from convenient display of Simulink software models that are used.
