1.2 Important Notes
The hardware may only be operated (i) according to the instructions and descriptions of this manual; (ii) with the electric power supply designed for the hardware,
e.g. USB-powered power supply; and (iii) with accessories manufactured or
approved by Vector.
The hardware is exclusively designed for use by skilled personnel as its operation
may result in serious personal injuries and damage to property. Therefore, only
those persons may operate the hardware who (i) have understood the possible
effects of the actions which may be caused by the hardware; (ii) are specifically
trained in the handling with the hardware, bus systems and the system intended to
be influenced; and (iii) have sufficient experience in using the hardware safely.
The knowledge necessary for the operation of the hardware can be acquired in
work-shops and internal or external seminars offered by Vector. Additional and
hardware specific information, such as „Known Issues“, are available in the „Vector
KnowledgeBase“on Vector´s website at www.vector.com. Please consult the
„Vector KnowledgeBase“for updated information prior to the operation of the hardware.

1.2.1.2 Hazards
1.2 Important Notes
Caution!
The hardware may control and/or otherwise influence the behavior of control systems and electronic control units. Serious hazards for life, body and property may
arise, in particular, without limitation, by interventions in safety relevant systems
(e.g. by deactivating or otherwise manipulating the engine management, steering,
airbag and/or braking system) and/or if the hardware is operated in public areas
(e.g. public traffic, airspace). Therefore, you must always ensure that the hardware
is used in a safe manner. This includes, inter alia, the ability to put the system in
which the hardware is used into a safe state at any time (e.g. by „emergency shutdown“), in particular, without limitation, in the event of errors or hazards.
Comply with all safety standards and public regulations which are relevant for the
operation of the system. Before you operate the system in public areas, it should
be tested on a site which is not accessible to the public and specifically prepared
for performing test drives in order to reduce hazards.
1.2.2 Disclaimer
Caution!
Claims based on defects and liability claims against Vector are excluded to the
extent damages or errors are caused by improper use of the hardware or use not
according to its intended purpose. The same applies to damages or errors arising
from insufficient training or lack of experience of personnel using the hardware.

2.1 Overview
At a glance The VX1000 System is a scalable solution with top performance for your mea-
surement and calibration tasks. It can be used in the vehicle – both in the interior and
in the engine compartment – on test benches and in the laboratory.Especially when
developing ADAS ECUs, this allows you to control raw data captured by high-resolution radar sensors in combination with XCP data, e.g. object/tracking lists.
The system forms the interface between the ECU and a measurement and calibration
tool such as CANape.For high data throughput with minimal impact on ECU run-time,
data is accessed over the microcontroller-specific data trace and debug ports.
The VX1000 Base Module is connected to the PC over XCP on Ethernet, an OEMindependent ASAM standard (www.asam.net) that is widely used in the automotive
industry. The VX1000 measurement hardware is connected to the ECU via a POD
(Plug-On device).Depending on the available microcontroller interface, either the data
trace or a copying method can be used to acquire measurement data.
Figure 1: Modular concept
Modular concept The modular concept of the VX1000 System allows connecting to different micro-
controllers and consists of the following components:
► VX1000 Base Modules
► VX1300 Cables (HSSL/Serial Cable)
► VX1400/VX1500 Plug-On Devices (POD)
To support longer distances between the VX1000 Base Module and the target ECU,
e.g. under the hood in a car, the Base Module is connected to the ECU via a POD and
a cable that is available in different lengths.PODs and cables are designed to withstand rough automotive environmental conditions.
XPOD With the XPOD, the VX1000 System also offers a standalone measurement and cal-
ibration interface without the need of a VX1000 Base Module.
Figure 2: Example with XPOD
Advantages Advantages of the VX1000 System are:
► Powerful measurement and calibration access to internal ECU data with max-
imum transmission rates
► Very small POD to connect to the ECU debug interface
► Easy and quick integration into the ECU software
► No impact on ECU run-time with data trace measurement method
► Interface to numerous development tools by third-party suppliers via the stand-
ardized ASAM protocol XCP on Ethernet
► Special functions for engine controllers such as Calibration Wake-Up and Cal-
ibration RAM Supply

2.5 VX1000 Application Driver and VX1000If
2.5 VX1000 Application Driver and VX1000If
VX1000 Measurement and Calibration access to the ECU requires not only the appropriate VX1000 hardware but also the target-specific VX1000 Application Driver (in
short: VX1000 AppDriver) which must be integrated into the ECU software.
The VX1000 AppDriver has been developed for test and development purposes but
not for use in production software. However, the VX1000 AppDriver is always used in
conjunction with the module VX1000If which encapsulates access from the application to the VX1000 AppDriver.
Figure 4: Application components
VX1000If provides an API through which, during runtime, the VX1000 AppDriver can
be activated for test and development purposes. Through this API the VX1000
AppDriver can also be put into a deactivated state in which it can potentially remain in
production software. Vector can only grant permission to use VX1000If and a thereover deactivated VX1000 AppDriver in production software, if VX1000If is delivered
through a MICROSAR SIP.
The VX1000 AppDriver is delivered through VXsupport@vector.com free of charge.
This delivery also contains a version of VX1000If and the technical reference required
for a complete and safe integration into the ECU software. This enables an integration
for test and development purposes, or an early prototype integration with exchanging
VX1000If later. Both the VX1000 AppDriver and VX1000If delivered this way, are subject to the attached terms and conditions which must be accepted on a per-project
base. These terms and conditions do not grant permission for usage in production
ECUs.
By means of a MICROSAR SIP, only VX1000If is delivered. Depending on the delivery, clearance for the usage in safety-critical ECUs up to ASIL-D can be granted. For
safe usage in a production ECU, the VX1000If version delivered through the
MICROSAR SIP must be used, including its technical specification.
Regarding VX1000If, usually there is no difference between the source code and technical reference of the MICROSAR SIP, or the version that is part of the VX1000
AppDriver. So, the effort for exchanging this component is usually very low. However,
care must be taken to diligently examine potential differences.
