One Tool - Many Tasks

Vehicle Spy Professional Version is a single tool that enables you to perform diagnostics, node/ECU Simulation, data acquisition, automated testing, memory edit or calibration, and vehicle network bus monitoring. The design of Vehicle Spy is focused on one thing, your productivity. This means the tool is designed for ease-of-use and a low learning curve. With the exception of customer specific features, all the functionality available in Vehicle Spy is offered at a single low price.

Applications

• Bus Monitoring - It does not matter if you are using CAN, LIN, or other supported network, with Vehicle Spy's bus monitoring functionality, you can view, save, and analyze message traffic from multiple networks simultaneously. Industry standard .DBC, and .LDF files are supported as well as .UEF and other customer specific formats. Checkout our free .LDF tool.
• Simulation - ECU or network node simulation has long been a feature of Vehicle Spy and can be used together with Graphical Panels, and Scripting to create custom setups for Automated Testing. Also the Playback Function Block can be used to replay prerecorded CAN, LIN or other network traffic back onto a live bus.
• Data Acquisition - Datalogging with real-time Signal Views combined with Post-Analysis of data files gives you a complete data acquisition and analysis tool. Also check out our stand-alone embedded datalogging hardware.
• Diagnostics - Whether you are using J1939, GMLAN, ISO14229 or your own custom diagnostic protocol, you can setup and execute custom scripts, Diagnostic Jobs, and Graphical Panels to perform nearly any diagnostic task. Also, the scripts you write in Function Blocks can be downloaded to our real-time embedded hardware and executed in real-time. Support for industry standard .ASAP2 and .ODX files are included. Check out our free ODX viewer.
• Memory Edit / Calibration - Vehicle Spy contains all of the functionality you need for editing your ECU's memory using CAN Calibration Protocol (CCP) including ASAP2 (A2L) file support, and memory edit controls for Values, Curves, and Maps. In addition, a complete ASAP2 file creator is included with Vehicle Spy!

Views

The features in Vehicle Spy are generally organized into Views. Each View in Vehicle Spy has its own Window and can be docked or tabbed within the Vehicle Spy workspace. This architecture gives you unlimited flexibility to organize your setups how you need them, for the many tasks you can perform with Vehicle Spy.

This list is not complete but here are some of the Views in Vehicle Spy:

• Messages View - See all messages and signals of all busses that are active. Some of its key features are fast-filtering and activity highlighting.
• Transmit Panel - Transmit any kind of message. It is possible to press a button to manually transmit or setup a rate for transmission. In addition, expressions can be entered to automatically change the data in a transmit message.
• Graphical Panels - Enable you to create a custom screen to view bus data the way you need it. Also with Graphical Panels you can transmit messages, interact with scripts and other parts of Vehicle Spy.
• Signals View - This view enables you to view signals of CAN, LIN or other network types graphically.
• Signals List - This view shows your selected signals of messages in a list.
• Post Analysis - This view enables you to view CAN, LIN or other network signals along with raw message data. This gives you a powerful way to analyze events and data.
• MEP Setup - The MEP setup enables you to select an ASAP2 file for CAN Calibration Protocol (CCP).
• Function Blocks - Are designed to be a step-by-step scripting language so that you do not need a background in "text" based scripting to perform scripting tasks. It is possible to download these scripts to our neoVI-Red, and neoVI-Fire hardware for execution in real-time.
• Java Scripting - For those more familiar with "text" based languages, a built in Java environment with single step debugging and variable evaluation is available.
• Diagnostics Setup - Built in diagnostics enables you to setup and execute diagnostic jobs and save your results for later analysis.
