With the new integration of basic diagnostics and new control panels, Vector CANalyzer users now have additional ways to stimulate and analyse CAN, LIN, MOST and FlexRay networks or ECUs. In the framework of network analysis, CANalyzer now gives users the ability to access an ECU via diagnostics. First, the user defines a diagnostic request directly in the integrated Basic Diagnostic Editor, e.g. based on UDS (ISO14229). There is no need for a complex ODX description file or an additional diagnostic tester. The user parameterises and sends out the diagnostic requests interactively from the Diagnostic Console. The response is analysed in the Trace window, which shows the individual diagnostic parameters. CANalyzer operation has been simplified. It was only possible to control stimulation and analysis blocks by keyboard commands, but now this can also be done conveniently in user-customized control panels.
