Tiny FIBEX Viewer

In the past, OEMs usually used text-based descriptions in Word documents or proprietary file formats to store network data, files that were difficult or impossible to share across tools. FIBEX is a specification for vehicle network information created by ASAM to allow tools to share vehicle network definitions electronically, and has become the industry standard file format for sharing FlexRay cluster definitions.

Intrepid created the Tiny FIBEX Viewer for customers who want to learn more about the FIBEX format. The tool allows you to view files and search the FIBEX and FlexRay specifications. Intrepid also supports loading FIBEX files into Vehicle Spy for FlexRay applications.

Download: Tiny FIBEX Viewer

Example FIBEX File: FlexRay_Cluster_Example.xml

Setup Steps:

1. Copy the .EXE file to any folder.
2. If you wish to search the FIBEX specification, copy it to the same folder, and be sure it is named “fibex.pdf”.
3. If you want to search the FlexRay specification, copy it to the same folder and name it “flexray.pdf”.
4. Open and view FIBEX files.

We hope you find this free tool useful. Please let us know if you have any suggestions for improvement.
