2 System Overview
2.1 Overview
At a glance The VX1000 System is a scalable solution with top performance for your meas-
urement 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. 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 OEM-
independent 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.
The hardware components like Base Modules, PODs, Cables and Adapters are
described in separate documents. These documents are available in the Vector Download Center.
Modular concept
The modular concept of the VX1000 System allows connecting to different microcontrollers.
The VX1000 System consists of the following components:
> VX1000 Base Modules
> VX1300 Cables (HSSL/Serial Cable)
> VX1400/VX1500 Plug-On Devices (POD)
Target connection 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.
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
For the VX1000 Measurement and Calibration System, the VX1000 Application Driver
must be integrated into the ECU application.
The VX1000 Application Driver contains highly configurable, platform- and derivative-
specific code that has not been developed and tested for use in series software
releases.
For this reason, the platform-neutral VX1000If component was additionally developed,
which encapsulates the VX1000 Application Driver and serves to reliably isolate the
VX1000 Application Driver API in series software releases.
2 System Overview
Every VX1000 Application Driver comes with the VX1000If component. All doc-
umentation describes explicitly the use of the VX1000 Application Driver through the
VX1000If API. Use of the VX1000 Application Driver without VX1000If is not intended.
Note
The VX1000 Application Driver is provided as an installer that can be requested via
VXsupport@vector.com.
Reference
The integration of the VX1000 Applicaton Driver and VX1000If is described in the
target specific VX1000 Getting Started application notes. The application notes are
included in the VX1000 Application Driver Setup.
Legal Please note that the terms and conditions under which the VX1000 Application Driver
and the VX1000If component are delivered as standard exclude the use in series software releases.
For deliveries of the VX1000If component via a Vector PES software integration package, on the other hand, special contract conditions apply, including for use in series
software releases. You will receive details from VXsupport@vector.com.
Technically, the VX1000If component has the same code in both cases.
