CANoe project configuration
Set up CANoe networks, project assets, and modules around the supplied DBC, existing project, and test objectives.
CANoe Configuration
Build focused CANoe configurations for repeatable vehicle-network testing
Configure Vector CANoe projects around your network definition, existing CAPL, and test specification. The work can cover simulation, automated execution, and analysis for functional, integration, regression, bench, SIL, HIL, MIL, or vehicle testing.
Discuss a CANoe ProjectProblems I can investigate
Find the behavior behind the symptom
- 01
Restbus simulation needed
Simulate missing network participants so the available system can be exercised without every physical component.
- 02
Network timing issue
Investigate message periods, latency, ordering, or timeouts that do not match expected network behavior.
- 03
Testing is too manual
Replace repeated manual execution and evaluation with configured tests, CAPL behavior, and repeatable results.
- 04
ECU unavailable for testing
Keep development or test work moving by simulating the unavailable ECU and its required communication.
What I can help with
Focused engineering work in Testing, Validation & Simulation
Restbus and network simulation
Model missing nodes and communication behavior for CAN or CAN-FD testing, including scenarios that use ISO-TP or J1939 where specified by the inputs.
CAPL test automation
Implement repeatable setup, stimulus, checks, and execution logic in CAPL for functional, integration, and regression testing.
Diagnostic test configuration
Configure test flows around supplied UDS requirements, including communication involving DTC records or DoIP when those are part of the specification.
Communication analysis support
Use CANoe or CANalyzer configuration and available communication data to examine timing, ordering, message behavior, and test results.
What to send
Start with the evidence you already have
Existing CANoe project
Provide the current CANoe configuration and its project assets, including the parts that should remain unchanged.
Existing CAPL
Share existing CAPL nodes, test modules, or libraries that should be reused, reviewed, or extended.
DBC
Provide the CAN database defining the messages and signals required by the configuration.
Test specification
Include test cases, procedures, expected results, and acceptance criteria available for implementation.
How the analysis works
From recorded data to engineering findings
- 01
Review the available configuration
Inspect the existing CANoe project, CAPL, DBC, and test specification to identify required networks, modules, simulations, and execution paths.
- 02
Map expected communication
Translate the supplied test behavior into configured nodes, messages, timing expectations, and diagnostic interactions without assuming unavailable ECU behavior.
- 03
Implement the configuration
Build or adjust the CANoe configuration and CAPL behavior, adding restbus simulation and automated test execution where required.
- 04
Exercise and analyze
Run the defined scenarios, examine communication and timing behavior, and investigate discrepancies against the supplied expected results.
- 05
Package the working assets
Return the configured project and implementation files with the scope of supported scenarios and any unresolved input-dependent points clearly identified.

FAQ
Practical questions before an investigation
- Can you work from an existing CANoe project?
- Yes. An existing CANoe project can be reviewed and extended using its current assets, supplied CAPL, DBC, and test specification.
- Can the configuration support testing without the target ECU?
- It can, when the required communication and expected behavior are defined well enough to implement a restbus simulation for the unavailable ECU.
- Can you automate tests that are currently run manually?
- Yes. Repeatable setup, execution, checks, and results can be implemented in a CANoe automated test suite using the supplied test specification.
- Do you support CAN-FD and diagnostic communication?
- CAN-FD and UDS-related configuration can be included when they are present in the supplied project, DBC, or test requirements. DoIP can also be addressed when it is explicitly part of the scope.
