User-defined System Routines:
Extended functionality (e.g. interpretation of received CAN or LIN messages) can be added with modules written in C. At the same time, functions of the system software (readout of analog inputs, setting of LEDs etc.) are available. The C modules are translated using the C166 compiler from Tasking, which is also available from Vector.
Use of CANdb:
When CANister is parameterized, different information like for example symbolic names for CAN and LIN messages and bus signals are used from the CANdb or CANdb++ database. With this connection to CANdb, CANister is fully integrated in the Vector tool chain. As soon as any information has been entered once, it is available for use from any point in the system, from development to production and testing environment.
