Vector Informatik is launching CANape 24, the latest version of its proven tool for precise measurement and calibration in modern vehicle architectures. Automotive engineers and developers benefit from enhanced functions for the efficient acquisition, analysis, and calibration of Zonal ECUs and high-performance computers (HPCs).
Expanded protocol support for precise measurements
CANape 24 now supports the new ASAM CMP protocol, broadening options for precise measurements. Communication remains compatible via established standards such as CAN, FlexRay, LIN, and Ethernet (xBASE-T1). The software tool also enables the calibration and visualization of complex ECU architectures, including dynamic SOME/IP data structures.
Real-time ADAS validation
Another major innovation is the direct validation of ADAS algorithms. Developers can visualize detected drivable areas (“free space”) and obstacles in real time, immediately evaluating results from camera, RADAR, or LIDAR-based sensors. This accelerates optimization of safety-critical functions.
Efficient logging and secure data management
In addition, Vector provides vLoggerControlRoom, a powerful tool for live monitoring of vehicles equipped with GL Logger or Smart Logger. A configurable dashboard provides real-time information on vehicle positions, signal values such as speed, and the status of the data loggers. CANape 24 includes 100 GB of cloud storage for logging projects and enables secure data exchange via Vector Team Services. Hard disk encryption within the VP75x1 logging and processing platform ensures reliable protection of recorded data.
With these innovations, CANape 24 sets new standards in ECU development, offering OEMs, suppliers, and development service providers a robust platform for calibration and validation of complex vehicle functions.
