Port BUSACCESS - CAN 🛈¶

VECTOR-HW access to CAN

Stimulation¶

This port supports all features described in Stimulation control.

Properties 🛈¶

Name	Available if	Default value	Valid values	Type	Description
Channel number		‘1’		string	Selection of channel number if there is more than one controller of same type.
Bit rate		‘500KB’	[‘10KB’, ‘20KB’, ‘50KB’, ‘83.333KB’, ‘100KB’, ‘125KB’, ‘250KB’, ‘500KB’, ‘666.667KB’, ‘800KB’, ‘1000KB’]	string	Bit rate
Do not stop RBS		☐		bool	Restbus simulation stays active beyond test case execution.
Mode		Standard	[Standard, Extended, All]	string	Addressing mode (Standard = 11bit, Extended = 29bit)
Listen only		☐		bool	Controller is running in passive mode. Automatic ACK is disabled, and sending CAN frames is not possible.
Receive error frames		☐		bool	Receive error frames
Trace format		ASC	[ASC, MDF4, PCAPNG]	string	Default file format for bus recordings. PCAPNG for bus is not supported by trace analysis
Keep TimeMaster active		☐		bool	DMCS-TimeMaster stays active after test cases have finished. Will be shutdown together with the configuration
Bus-DB				string
Placeholder value for automatic E2E calculation				int	Whenever this value is specified for an E2E signal (e.g. CRC), upon transmission ecu.test automatically replaces it with the correct, calculated value. The purpose of this option is to allow transmission of arbitrary fixed values (unequal to the value chosen here). Leaving this option empty completely disables the feature.
J1939 mode	Mode: ‘Extended’	☐		bool	Ignore the three most significant bits of the CAN-ID and J1939 source address. Extract signals from J1939-TP and ISOBus-ETP.
Transmission confirmation		☐		bool	Activates acknowledged sending. Bus-Write test steps and Send tool jobs block until the message was successfully transferred on the bus or the confirm timeout expired.
Timeout for transmission confirmation		1000		int	Period in miliseconds in which a message has to be sent successfully. Otherwise an error is created. (must not be larger than 64535ms). Is only used in active confirm mode.
