Ports¶

Specifics¶

This interface allows, by means of hardware, direct CAN and FlexRay bus access. It supports the test steps read signal, read/write signal group (all bus systems) as well as monitor (CAN only) and supports signal recording (all bus systems), Raw diagnostics with KWP2000 over ISO-TP (CAN only), the Mini residual bus simulation (CAN only) and Additional functions of the close-to-hardware bus connections (all bus systems).

If an ETAS ES520 module (equivalent to IXXAT FlexRay CCM) is used and the connection goes via an ES600 module, the time stamps of the received messages can jump arbitrarily.

Info

The APPLICATION ports can only be used with the Add-on ecu.test calibration

Properties 🛈¶

Name	Default value	Valid values	Type	Description
Hardware		[‘<online query>’, ‘<no toollib start>’]	string	Choose the hardware which should be used
IP address			uri	If the option ‘AutoAccept’ in the IP-dialogue of ETAS is activated and only one IXXAT box is available in the network, than no setting is necessary. Else the IP address of an IXXAT box is recommended for initialising the test environment without user interaction.
Timeout for tool call ❲in sec.❳	‘600’		string	Timeout after which a tool call is aborted.
