User Manual CANape CASL Basic Information
© Vector Informatik GmbH Version 1.2 - 17 -
Trigonometric functions can be used to calculate relationships between angle and
height-width ratio.
Exponential functions can be used to calculate logarithms and powers and their
components.
Miscellaneous functions include all functions not assigned to one of the other
groups.
By means of the function group of the access attributes, you have access to features
of various data objects, such as measurement values, axes, and maps/characteristic
curves. Features of data objects can be color, quantity, status, address, etc.
General accesses to CANape are possible using program functions.
The following subgroups provide more specific accesses:
> User input: Shows various dialogs
> Output: Formats outputs of a string, describes the progress display
> Control: Controls the various CANape windows
> Panel: Sets stop watches and accesses control and display elements.
> Configuration: Involves configurations and partial configurations
You can use device functions to access devices directly as well as to access their
databases, drivers, status, etc.
The functions of the Measurement function group enable access to a wide range of
actions that concern measuring. In the Recorder and Trigger subgroups, you will find
functions that access the recorders and their triggering.
The functions of the Calibration function group can be used to access parameter
sets and to change the calibration mode of devices. In addition, you receive read- and
write-access to the device memory and access to the various values (physical, raw,
or string values) of objects. The block-wise modification of a device can also be
controlled.
In the Datasets subgroup, you will find the functions for handling datasets.
The functions of the Evaluation function group enable access to the global
measurement and differential cursor and the time offset as well as to comments and
information on trigger events. In addition, portions of an integer signal can be
extracted or measurement values of a signal can be determined as a string.
The functions of the Database function group enable access to a unit of
measurement or names of database variables.
Flash functions can be used to load or unload programs and parameter set files. A
parameter set can also be copied to a binary file.
Diagnostic functions ensure access to service parameters and messages (request
and response to the ECU).
In the Device functions subgroup, you will find functions that can access devices with
a diagnostics-capable driver. In addition, two functions are provided that permit
implementation of the Seed & Key method.
Script functions are used to selectively call, check, and control scripts. Error codes
and error text can be output as appropriate or command line arguments can be
determined. In addition, there is a script function for temporary loading/unloading of
function DLLs.
Data Mining functions can start, stop, monitor, and compare Data Mining analyses
(and their methods).
String functions can be used to edit and process strings or the contents of certain
