Figure 1: Opening of the Trace Window You have to select a device to see the protocol information in the Trace window. SN-IMC-1-002_Trace_Analysing_CCP_XCP_en.pdf 1

For the buffer the number of entries can be in a range between and The general options "Delete content at measurement start" and "Trace only when measurement is running" should be unselected to display also the CONNECT sequence and the DAQ list configuration in the Trace window. 3. Additionally to the trace buffer it is possible to write a log file to save also a huge number of CCP or XCP messages. SN-IMC-1-002_Trace_Analysing_CCP_XCP_en.pdf 2

3 Export of the Trace Information Information from the Trace window can be exported into a text document by copy and paste. Since CANape version 6.

3 3 Export of the Trace Information Information from the Trace window can be exported into a text document by copy and paste. Since CANape version 6.5 a log file can also be saved automatically from the Trace window. 3.1 Insert Protocol Information Into a Text File The content of the Trace window can be exported by the option Copy as Text in the context menu of the Trace window. After this you can open a text document and insert the protocol information with paste. Figure 4: Copy Content of the Trace Log to Clipboard In this case only the selected commands will be copied. With the Select All option in the context menu of the Trace window the whole content can be copied. Figure 5: Copy Content of Trace Log from Clipboard into a Text File SN-IMC-1-002_Trace_Analysing_CCP_XCP_en.pdf 3

3.2 Write a Text File Automatically With the option "Write log file" in the trace configuration it is possible to generate a trace log automatically.

4 3.2 Write a Text File Automatically With the option "Write log file" in the trace configuration it is possible to generate a trace log automatically. Figure 6: Trace Configuration Dialog, Page Extended The path and the file name can also be configured like the behavior of overwriting or extending an existing log file. When several devices or calibration processes are traced it can be that the messages are not traced in the correct order by time. But the logged strings in the log file cannot be sorted of course. If the log file should be sorted by time it is recommended to open and sort it in Excel. Make sure that the general options "Delete content at measurement start" and "Trace only when measurement is running" are deactivated. Only in doing so, the entire trace log is displayed from the connection setup to a stop command. SN-IMC-1-002_Trace_Analysing_CCP_XCP_en.pdf 4

4 Application Example The following short application example will show a way to analyze the communication between CANape and an ECU with a CCP or XCP protocol command. 4.

5 4 Application Example The following short application example will show a way to analyze the communication between CANape and an ECU with a CCP or XCP protocol command. 4.1 Preconditions Please reduce the count of the signals in the measurement list to one or two signals. This is enough to check the functionality in general. Figure 7: Reduction of Amount of Signals in the Measurement Configuration The initial state in CANape should be the offline mode. The current state is displayed in the main window of CANape. Figure 8: Verification of the OFFLINE Status of CANape If the current state is ONLINE, please disconnect the device by the symbol in the toolbar or (with a double click) in the Device window.

Figure 10: Delete Existing Messages in the Trace Window 4.2 Working Instruction First of all please change the current state of the device to ONLINE. You can do this for example by the online symbol in the toolbar or (with a double click) in the Device window. Figure 11: Go ONLINE in CANape SN-IMC-1-002_Trace_Analysing_CCP_XCP_en.pdf 6

It is important that the information in the Trace window is starting with the command CONNECT.

Figure 12: Connection Establishment Shown by the Command CONNECT After the CONNECT command every device can have different protocol

The second step is to start the measurement.

7 It is important that the information in the Trace window is starting with the command CONNECT. If you save the information into a text file, make sure that the first protocol command will also be the CONNECT command. Figure 12: Connection Establishment Shown by the Command CONNECT After the CONNECT command every device can have different protocol commands in the Trace window. This depends on the different driver settings of the device, the protocol type and some other things. The second step is to start the measurement. You can do this by the symbol in the toolbar: Figure 13: Start Measurement Before the measurement starts, some other protocol commands could be sent like the DAQ list configuration.

ends with one of the START_STOP_* commands.

9 If you have saved the protocol commands into the text file, please check if the text file begins with the protocol command CONNECT and ends with one of the START_STOP_* commands. Figure 19: Checking the Completeness of the Trace Log SN-IMC-1-002_Trace_Analysing_CCP_XCP_en.pdf 9
