CANoe offers you special functions for all phases of the development cycle of distributed systems and its electronic control units (ECUs):
| Design CANoe optimally supports the design of complete systems or individual ECUs. |
| Simulation With CANoe you can conveniently simulate single ECUs or the complete network. The simulation can be generated manually or automatically from the underlying communication data base. Within the development process it can also be used as remaining bus simulation for individual ECUs. Via OEM-specific extensions the CANoe simulation can be adjusted to the requirements of the respective OEM. |
| Analysis The CANoe user can test and analyse the multi-bus communication of ECUs and complete systems at the development work place, during the system integration as well as in the vehicle. By using hardware data logger during test drives, the logged bus traffic can be evaluated with all CANoe functions at a later date. |
| Test CANoe supports testing of ECUs and networks with the special functions of the Test Feature Set. CANoe is the ideal test environment as well for the complete system as for efficient ECU testing, modules testing, and integration tests. You can use CANoe to access the ASAM-MCD3 interface of CANape. This involves reading and writing internal ECU parameters, e.g. in test sequences via XCP and CCP. CANoe enables integration of CANstress in test modules. This lets you generate reproducible protocol errors on the CAN bus and disturb the bus physics. (Starting with version 7.0 CANoe will be able to control FRstress in test modules to test FlexRay buses.) |
| Diagnostics KWP2000 and UDS diagnostic communication can be analyzed with the Diagnostic Feature Set. In this case, CANoe can be used as diagnostic tester as well as for the simulation of ECU diagnostics. |
The system can be expanded in a number of ways using integrated hardware and software interfaces. There are numerous evaluation options for analysing the total system and individual ECUs.
