1 Introduction

The introduction of the CAN bus in 1987 brought with it entirely new possibilities for using electronics in automobiles: within a few years electronics had influenced the efficiency, performance, and durability of the drives, supported active and passive vehicle safety, and provided convenience features.

As early as 1991 Vector had developed the MDF format (Measurement Data Format) for Robert Bosch GmbH as a binary file format for measurement data. After the MDF had quickly become the de facto standard in the automobile industry, the revised version 4.0 was finally published in 2009 as official ASAM standard.

Vector incorporated extensive know-how into the specification of the A2AP2 description files for ECU-internal values (also called an A2L file). After the specification of the "CAN Calibration Protocol" (CCP) in the mid 1990s, Vector quickly developed the first measurement and calibration tool. Since November 1996, ECU calibration engineers have used CANape (CAN application environment) in order to adapt controller behavior to various vehicle models by changing only the parameterization, not the program code.

In the course of more than 20 years, thousands of new functions and user requests have been incorporated into the tool. Used worldwide by all vehicle manufacturers and ECU suppliers, CANape covers all application areas of ECU calibration: from measurement of very large data volumes and calibration of thousands of parameters, to integration into model-based development, to a complete solution for ADAS ECUs and bypassing.

Supplemented with many extensions and products such as the VX1000 measurement & calibration system and the integration of client/server solutions and cloud offerings, Vector offers a powerful and proven solution in order to significantly accelerate ECU calibration and master complexity.

The following is a list of all CANape versions and service packs.

Further information on the history of CANape from the first release in 1996 can be found on website www.vector.com/canape-history
