Vector has integrated essential features in the new CANoe 14 version that will be of benefit to more users in the future. These can be used to implement both classic signal-oriented communication and new design paradigms such as service-oriented communication. Furthermore, CANoe 14 is an ideal tool to test software-only systems in virtual environments. These properties address other markets beyond the automotive industry.

Vector now offers products and solutions for high-voltage measurements. The new e-mobility measurement system from Vector and CSM enables users to perform fast and time-synchronous multi-channel measurements in high-voltage cables and components.

Vector has expanded its E-Mobility Testing Solution to include the new CANoe Test Package EV. This provides users with a toolchain for the automated conformance and interoperability testing of e-vehicles based on CANoe for the first time.

Modern electric/electronic systems combine the computing power needed for data-rich applications with the flexibility to improve and evolve during life time by updates and upgrades. PREEvision 9.5 helps to develop such future-proof E/E systems based on high-performance computers and the AUTOSAR Adaptive platform.

Vector has presented the VN5620 as a compact interface for analysis, simulation, and testing tasks for automotive Ethernet networks and CAN/CAN FD. 

Ethernet conformance of automotive ECUs is now easier and more efficient for developers and system integrators. The current Version 12.0 of CANoe, the development and test tool from Vector, now supports conformance tests defined by Technical Committee 8 (TC8) of the OPEN Alliance. The tests are implemented so that their execution is primarily automated; this enables ideal integration into the development process.

Vector simplifies the introduction of AUTOSAR Adaptive: The model-based E/E development environment PREEvision comprehensively supports users in expanding existing software and hardware architectures with the capabilities of the AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform. AUTOSAR Adaptive expands the AUTOSAR platform to meet the demands of current automotive trends like autonomous driving, electrification and connectivity.

Specialist for developing and testing software and vehicle electronics, Vector, has completed a full takeover of Munich-based TESIS. TESIS specialises in simulation solutions for virtual road testing, in particular, real time-capable engine and vehicle models. Vector has a ranging product portfolio for conducting tests on the system, function and code levels of distributed embedded systems.

vVIRTUALtarget is a tool for virtual testing of AUTOSAR ECUs from Vector. It enables faster software development implementations in typical AUTOSAR-4 projects. The virtualised environment makes it possible to test the ECU software throughout the development process. Users benefit from rapid test execution that can be even faster than in real time.

The PREEvision 9.0, the next release of the software tool for developing distributed systems in the automotive industry and related areas, has been introduced by Vector. The model-based development environment is fully equipped for AUTOSAR Adaptive and offers extended SysML and UML functions to model service-oriented architectures.

For the precise and reproducible disturbance of CAN (FD) networks, Vector has offered the hardware VH6501. The compact device is additionally a network interface for CANoe. This combination of disturbance functionality and interface enables test setups for conformance testing with very little effort.

In the new version of its CANape measurement and calibration tool, Vector integrates many new functions. In this way, calibration engineers can simplify their work and interactions with their ECUs. The storage of configuration files in containers accelerates important project transfer operations. Improvements have also been made in the field of ADAS development, in particular for the visualisation of LIDAR sensor data.

  Timing-Architects Embedded Systems GmbH (TA) has been acquired by Vector Informatik. The Stuttgart-based specialist for automotive embedded electronics will now offer its customers an even more comprehensive portfolio in the field of multi-core real time systems.

Vector provides developers with comprehensive support for the integration of Ethernet networks in vehicles as well as for the build-up of service-oriented software architectures. No matter if CAN or FlexRay are to be extended, partly replaced or if new use cases are to be developed. With the design tool PREEvision Ethernet networks or clusters can be described comprehensibly, clearly and from scratch.  

Version 2.5 of vADASdeveloper from Vector provides comprehensive support for developers of multisensor applications for ADAS and automated driving. Through graphical configuration of object information Vector's tool quickly and easily visualises sensor data. Users get new display windows and can integrate reference lidar systems in order to simplify the interpretation of object data and the results of fusion.

  As of 21st August 2017, the AUTOSAR Run-time Environment (RTE) from Vector fulfills the requirements of ISO 26262 up to ASIL D. exida – an internationally recognised specialist in functional safety. By using the new RTE, ECU developers can avoid much of the effort required to qualify the generated RTE for safety-related applications.

Manufacturer of software tools and components for the development of electronic systems, Vector Informatik, has released PREEvision 8.5 which supports additional industry standards for flexible data exchange in E/E engineering. The current release allows for importing and exporting the exchange formats ReqIF and KBL 2.4. Thus, Vector Informatik once again facilitates cooperation between manufacturers and suppliers in the model-based dev...

Vector Informatik GmbH has acquired 100% of the US company Vector Software. Vector Software specialises in automated embedded software testing in multiple industries. Vector Informatik has a long experience in providing system and functional testing solutions for automotive ECUs and distributed embedded systems. This acquisition extends that testing portfolio by adding the embedded software testing platform “VectorCAST”, a soluti...

With version 8.5 SP2 of CANdelaStudio, Vector presents a solution for the creation of AUTOSAR-compliant configurations of the diagnostic basic software for vehicle ECUs. It enables development teams at vehicle and ECU manufacturers to generate AUTOSAR Diagnostic Extract (DEXT) files at the press of a button. AUTOSAR DEXT is a new extension of the AUTOSAR system description.

Vector is supplementing its portfolio of basic software products by adding a flash bootloader for Linux-based ECUs. Developers will now benefit from a quick and easy solution for reprogramming these ECUs according to OEM-specific requirements. It enables reliable updating of shell scripts and graphic data as well as configuration and operating system files. Infotainment and telematic controllers feature high-resolution graphics and comp...
