Vector has released CANape 8.0, the latest version of its development software for ECU calibration. It accelerates optimal calibrating of ECUs in the vehicle by extended measurement-data acquisition, optimised calibration-data management and new data-mining functions for automated data evaluation. The new Simulink XCP Server option will benefit both functional and software developers with convenient parameter setting. Easy access to MATLAB/Simulink models directly in the CANape option Simulink XCP Server simplifies tasks for developers, allowing Simulink models to be visualised and parameterised easily and efficiently. Models can be stimulated with real generated measurement data as an input vector, which resembles actual conditions in testing models. Using CANape 8.0 makes the test phase with Simulink more advantageous as a universal front-end for model-related measurement and calibration tasks.
