Vehicle Spy Text API: ECU Object
Objective
ECU specific functionality is accessed via the ecu object. The syntax is as follows: ecu.sim.simulatetransmitmessages 0 ;simulate the receive messages for those in the ECU collection
ECU Object
Command Name | Description | Example |
sim | Accesses the ECU simulator. | ecu.sim.compile ;compile the simulator |
ecu.sim Object
Command Name | Description | Example |
compile | Compiles the changes made to the ECUs collection. It will regenerate the tx message collection. and copy the signals from the signal collect. | |
defaultsignaltype | This is an enumerated constant indicated for signals not accounted for in the signals collection or the replay data file. | |
ec | Accesses the collection of Simulator ECUs for simulation. | |
isrunning | Indicates if the simulator is running or not. | ecu.sim.isrunning? |
manualstart | Set/Returns if the simulator starts when Vehicle Spy starts. | |
replaydatafile | Set/Returns if the name of the vehicle spy log file used for replay. | |
repeatreplay | Set/Returns if the replay should automatically restart when the file completes. | |
start | Starts the simulator. | |
stop | Stops the simulator. | |
simulatenormal | Returns/Sets if the ECUs should simulate normal messaging. | |
simulatediagnostics | Returns/Sets if the ECUs should simulate diagnostics messaging. | |
simulatetransmitmessages | 1 = tx message list is generated from the tx list of each ECU. 0 = tx message list is generated from the rx list of each ECU. | |
sg | A collection of signals which will be copied to the transmit message upon compilation. | |
tx | This is the collection of transmit messages sent by the simulator. It is dynamically created by the compile method. | |
replaystart | This starts the replay data file at the first value if the simulator is running. | |
replaystop | This stops file replay if it is running. | |
generatehvwakeup | If 1 the simulator will generate a single wire CAN high voltage wakeup when started. | |
mg | Accesses the collection of Messages for simulation. Messages are only present if they apply some custom properties such as default message bytes or period. |
|
GenerateVNMF | If 1 the simulator will generate a VNMF for the single wire CAN ECUs involved in the simulation. | |
VNMFID | This indicates the CAN ID of the VNMF used by the simulator |
ecu.sim.ec Object
Command Name | Description | Example |
ecuname | The ECU short name. | |
enablenetworkmanagement | If 1 the simulator uses VN (virtual network) states to determine which messages should be sent. Otherwise, they are always sent. | |
key | ||
networkname | The network name according to the uef file "hsCAN" or "swCAN". |
ecu.sim.mg Object
Command Name | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
databytes{X} | This allows default databytes to be entered for databytes0 through databytes7. | |
description | The description of the message. This includes the ECU name followed by a backslash. "SDM\Airbag Indications" | |
disablemessage | This disables this message if 1. | |
overrideperiod | This will override the period of the message. | |
period | The modified message period if "overrideperiod" is 1. |
