CANoe.MOST 7.1

CANoe.MOST combines a wide range of analysis and testing capabilities for MOST systems with a convenient user interface. Besides offering user-friendly interactive analysis of the overall system, its automated analyses and tests are especially useful in boosting efficiency in ECU development and system integration. The network services required for single component tests are provided, including the means for performing a remaining bus simulation.

Primary Functions
CANoe.MOST offers you the following functions:

• Access to the control channel and asynchronous channel
• Access to the full bandwidth of the synchronous channels
• Support of MOST High Protocol
• Stress functions (bus load, Light & Lock errors)
• Display of parameter values in Data and Graphic windows
• Statistical evaluation of the bus communication
• Display of allocation table, configuration status, light & lock
• Chronological Analysis of the central registry contents
• Support by XML function
• Network services (AMS, Notification Service, Address Handler, etc.)
• Analyses and tests can be automated
• Core and Profile Compliance Tests available

New: CANoe.MOST supports MOST150
Starting in the first quarter of 2009, CANoe.MOST 7.1 will support the latest MOST150 standard. An overview of the covered features can be found here …

Access to the full bandwidth of the synchronous channels
CANoe.MOST allows full access to the synchronous area on MOST. Independent of the current synchronous boundary control all synchronous channels can be streamed via USB to the PC and vice versa. Having this access CANoe.MOST covers a huge number of use cases in the area of multimedia streaming. The application note MOST Synchronous Channel Access describes this more detailed.

Device and System Tests

• Test modules support the user in device and system testing by providing a clear sequential test flow and clear, understandable reporting in XML or HTML.
• CAPL test modules can stimulate the MOST ring and wait for reactions from MOST devices, system events or user actions. Inline input assistance based on the function catalog facilitates an efficient creation of test scripts. Access to system states and to the MOST controller is also possible.
• XML test modules are used to configure frequently recurring test patterns, and they may be supplemented by CAPL programming if necessary.
• In both types of test modules the user can focus on development of the actual tests, because most part of the reporting is done automatically. Typical MOST checks can be started with minimal effort, e.g. to determine whether critical unlocks occur during the test procedure. CANoe.MOST monitors these conditions in background.
• Customers with maintenance contracts can test the MOST conformance of their system with the provided Core Compliance Tests.

Device and Remaining Bus Simulation

• Simulation Setup
  The simulation setup allows the MOST system to be subdivided into function blocks and devices according to the real systems. It is also possible to simulate multiple devices on the application level with one interface by assigning the same MOST interface multiple times. The integrated network services are automatically configured correctly.
• Simulation Languages
  Function blocks and devices can be simulated in the C-like CAPL programming language. CANoe provides an integrated development environment for this purpose. As an alternative the simulation could be created in C++. These two approaches may be intermixed in almost any conceivable way. This allows the developer to concentrate fully on simulating the application. The integrated services handle all standard tasks and inform the application of all changes in system states by callbacks. Furthermore, full access is provided to the MOST controller.
• Network Services
  The application socket of the simulation core contains all typical network services for MOST devices:
• The Address Handler enables addressing of messages by FBlock and InstanceID. In doing so, it is possible to create simulation code that is independent of the momentary ring positions.
• The Notification Service automatically distributes changes in property values throughout the system, as necessary.
• The NetBlock automatically answers all requests of the Network Master without incurring programming effort for the user.
• The integrated Network Master provides for an orderly startup of the MOST ring.
• It is easy to address the Power Master to shut down the ring or to simulate overtemperature behavior, for example.
  
• Bus Simulator
  The bus simulator joins all simulated devices into a virtual ring. Communication via the control channel and asynchronous channel, allocation of synchronous channels, user control of the simulated MOST controller and evaluation of the application are all possible without hardware.
  

Gateway Functionality
CANoe.MOST also supports you in gateway development. Efficient prototyping, analysis, and testing are trouble free, with access to both buses and a common time reference.

Services
The CANoe Application Development Team offers project services to create customized solutions for CANoe.MOST.
