Vector Enhances Automotive Bench Testing with Innovative Execution Platform

CANoe is a versatile family of development and testing software tools created by Vector specifically for automotive Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) applications. These tools are designed to be utilized across the entire development process, from initial planning to system testing. Whether conducting HIL on prototype hardware or real target hardware, or SIL in virtual execution environments, CANoe provides engineers with reliable project support tailored to their specific needs.

The VN8917 base unit, equipped with an integrated 11th generation Intel XEON processor, is particularly well-suited for multi-channel configurations and extensive FlexRay and Ethernet simulations. This base unit's network interface also facilitates co-simulation applications and MATLAB simulations with demanding performance requirements.

For engineers working on high-performance CANoe test configurations, the VN8917 execution platform delivers the necessary processing power. This is especially beneficial for applications that demand high data throughput and access to multiple bus channels and I/Os. The platform can be connected to a PC via Ethernet or USB 3.0, supporting Ethernet data rates of up to 2.5 Gbit/s.

In addition to its performance capabilities, the VN8917 execution platform offers the convenience of standalone operation for CANoe simulations. This feature enables engineers to conduct simulations autonomously in a test bench environment without the need for an operating PC. The platform's fast onboard memory is also ideal for logging bus events efficiently.

One of the key advantages of using CANoe software test tools is the comprehensive support provided by Vector.
