Motivation

u Many customers already use CANape for

u in vehicle logging, in particular for Ethernet and ADAS logging

u more demanding requirements doing online computation/analysis

u Using the software tools for logging could be done but

u how to handle it in a car without user interface

u what about the usability for an unexperienced driver

u is it robust enough

u Vector solution: The new “Smart Logger” CANape log

u Why is CANape log smart?

u Executing CANape projects in a Vector automotive Logger Hardware - Stand alone

u “Interactive” Mode

u „Stand-Alone“ Mode

2 in 1 Use Case: Visualization & Calibration / Logging / Data Analysis

Use Cases

u A calibration or measurement engineer is using the system

u Almost full feature set of CANape can be used

u Using the system for measurement and calibration or to configure

u The same car the engineer is using at daytime should be used to log simple measurement data over night

u No additional hardware or test setup modifications

u The same CANape configuration should be used

u It should be easy to handle (start/stop)

u Only some important information like everything is ok or the storage is full are needed

16

u The focus of CANape log is

u measurement of bus-data with complex or custom specific protocols (SOME/IP)

u high volume ECU data

u signal- and object-oriented sensor/ECU data

u ADAS sensor raw/debug and object data

u complex online functions and trigger conditions

u high speed analog signals

u The measurement is done on test benches or in the vehicle

u Road validation / testing / collecting reference data (ground truth)

u Switching between the full CANape functionality and the simple to use mobile UI

u Using the same hardware interfaces and same CANape project

u Reconnect with CANape without disturbing the measurement

CANape log…

u …is not only a piece of software

u …has to be bought together with the Vector logger hardware VP64xx, VP74xx or VN8911

u …requires a full CANape for the configuration

u All required software components for the logger hardware are distributed with CANape

u …license is a perpetual Vector license which must be on the logger hardware

u No need to reactivate/renew the license year by year
