Document templates are supported by CANdelaStudio to make it possible to handle manufacturer-specific differences in one standard tool. In content a document template corresponds to a manufacturer-specific diagnostic specification. It contains a formal description of all allowable basic services of the electronic control units as well as the mandatory features that must be implemented in every electronic control unit. Optional features can also be described in the template, so that it is easy to select them at a later time if desired.
An electronic control unit is described in a separate document which is based on a document template. A variants concept makes it possible to describe commonalities and differences among the different electronic control unit's variants with few redundancies.
More Functions:
- Displays changes between two versions of ECU diagnostic descriptions (Difference View) and saving the results.
- Imports and exports diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from a file or to a file.
- Extensive DTC descriptions can be documented and displayed when working with fault memory.
- OEM-specific layout of RTF documents
- DTC-Overview that lists for each DTC the variant where the DTC is used. This is helpful when doing variant-spanning checking and maintenance of a set of DTCs.
- Graphic visualization and table-based editing of state dependencies of diagnostic services. Documentation is exported as a separate chapter to the diagnostic specification in RTF format.
- To ensure version-spanning document compatibility diagnostic description data that is created with CANdelaStudio 5.5 can also be loaded in CANdela 3.0/4.0/5.0 based programs. More information in the "FAQ" section at www.can-diagnostics.com.
- Graphical Telegram Overview for request and response data to visualize the bit and byte positions.
ODX Functions:
- Import from ODX 2.0.1
- Export to ODX 1.1.4, 1.1.5 (ASAM-MCD-2D-basic), 2.0.1, 2.1.0
- Integrated "EffectiveODX Viewer" for clear and concise display of ODX data.
- Import of Layer and Services of an ODX ECU description and therefore simple exchange of data between different OEMs considering process conformity.
- ODX export: Support of communication parameters and TABLEs for additional OEMs
- CANdela data based checks regarding the ODX export.
- Support of Object ID (OID)
- Enhanced export options, e.g.: one file per layer, use of ECU qualifier as prefix for generated ODX ID.
