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.
