Vehicle Network Toolbox™ provides MATLAB^® functions and Simulink^® blocks to send, receive, encode, and decode CAN, CAN FD, J1939, and XCP messages. The toolbox lets you identify and parse specific signals using industry-standard CAN database files and then visualize the decoded signals using the CAN Bus Monitor app. Using A2L description files, you can connect to an ECU via XCP on CAN or Ethernet. For each ECU, you can read and write data to specific memory locations within the ECU. The toolbox provides functions and blocks for creating and viewing dynamic DAQ and STIM measurement lists for an XCP channel.  You can also access messages and measurement data stored in MDF files. The toolbox supports version 3.0 and higher of the MDF standard. For large MDF files that don’t fit in memory, you can create an MDF datastore and preview the data in batches based on parameters that you specify. You can also create a datastore to easily work with a collection of similar MDF files.

The toolbox simplifies communication with in-vehicle networks and lets you monitor, filter, and analyze live CAN bus data or log and record messages for later analysis and replay. You can simulate message traffic on a virtual CAN bus or connect to a live network or ECU. Vehicle Network Toolbox supports CAN interface devices from Vector, Kvaser, PEAK-System, and National Instruments^®.
