The AP00000A-SPY Vehicle Spy 3 Enterprise (Full Version) which you can order as
an accessory along with the AP0200A comes with the following:
– A copy of AP00000A-SPY Vehicle Spy vehicle network software
– Drivers for the AP0200A
– An API install kit containing the neoVI Explorer utility for configuring the device
– Documentation materials
AP00000A-SPY Vehicle Spy (often abbreviated as VSpy), termed as the “Swiss
army knife” of automotive networking tools allows you to monitor and transmit on
vehicle networks easily. AP00000A-SPY VSpy includes capabilities for ECU
simulation, data acquisition, scripting, diagnostics, data analysis, and much more.
The AP0200A and AP00000A-SPY VSpy work together hand in hand. Keysight
recommends purchasing a AP00000A-SPY VSpy license to go along with your
new hardware. Install AP00000A-SPY Vehicle Spy or use a limited Vehicle Spy
Trial, available from Keysight's partner, Intrepid Control Systems here.
It is also possible to control the AP0200A from within other software using one of
the APIs that the device supports
Visual Inspection
Introduction and Overview1
Be sure to inspect all instrument cables, Ethernet cables, and devices carefully
before making a connection. Inspect all cables and connectors for metal particles,
scratches, deformed threads, dents, or bent, broken, or misaligned center
conductors. Do not use damaged cables.
Keysight AP0200A Vehicle Network Interface, 2x CAN-FD User Guide13
1Introduction and Overview
Operational Overview
The operation of the AP0200A can be broadly broken down into three categories:
– vehicle network interfacing
– data acquisition
– simulation and scripting
Vehicle Network Interfacing
Using the cables provided, you can connect the AP0200A to either a bench test
setup or a vehicle to monitor live network activity. All channels are monitored
simultaneously and are hardware time-stamped.
Data Acquisition
The AP0200A enables the acquisition of data from networks with precise control
over collection parameters. The data can be captured in AP00000A-SPY Vehicle
Spy or using the Intrepid APIs.
Simulation and Scripting
Using AP00000A-SPY Vehicle Spy, you can define transmit messages with custom
data and send them manually or on a schedule of your choosing. You can also
write intelligent scripts that implement arbitrary logic and compile them into
CoreMinis that run within AP0200A. This functionality allows you to create
specialized test scenarios, and to simulate ECUs and gateways.

Hardware and Software Requirements
The following details the hardware and software requirements.
Hardware
Keysight recommends having a CAN or CAN-FD network, either in-vehicle, test
bench, or other environments.
A PC with a USB 2.0 port (Type A connector). Keysight recommends using a native
USB port to provide sufficient power.
Software
The setup program for AP00000A-SPY Vehicle Spy will install the necessary
drivers for the AP0200A. If you do not have a AP00000A-SPY Vehicle Spy license,
you can use the Vehicle Spy trial version for basic network interfacing and driver
setup. You can also set up drivers using the API kit installer.
Refer to the AP00000A-SPY Vehicle Spy documentation for more specific PC
hardware and operating system requirements and recommendations.

CAUTION
CAUTION
The integrated DB9 connector connects the vehicle/bench CAN network(s). CAN
termination is integrated into the AP0200A and can be enabled from the neoVI
Explorer software interface.
The AP0200A can only be powered via the USB cable.
CoreMini scripts run when the device is powered and not connected to a
PC's USB port (that is, enumerated).
Therefore to run a stand-alone script, it is recommended to use a power-only
USB cable to prevent enumeration. Using a charger or power pack to power
the AP0200A will also work.

PC Connection
Connect the USB Type A to a USB port on the PC. It is possible to use a powered
USB hub to connect the AP0200A, but performance varies due to the quality of
the hub and its ability to provide power. Make sure to use a high-power USB hub
and test the hub with the AP0200A before use.
