Release Date: 2023-10-18
Tool underlying framework is changed to dotNET7. Runtime will be installed with the setup, if it is not installed before.

  • General updates:
    • Tool uses "Segue UI, 9pt" font, which is more aligned to the Windows user experience (UX) guidelines.
    • Minor Several icons are updated, including VISU icon.
  • ASAP2 (A2L) updates:
    • ASAP2 v1.7.1 support is added. #asap2
      We’re keeping the tool up-to-date with standards.
      Many projects in the company started to use v1.7 A2L files. Tool supports v1.7.1 now. The advantages of new standard can be used (e.g. “Half” data type).
    • DEPENDENT_CHARACTERISTIC support is added. #asap2
    • Support to define a parameter in A2L to display as the ROM identifier (CLF-307).
  • ARXML updates:
    • Support for header type NO-HEADER in addition to SHORT-HEADER and LONG-HEADER in ARXML file (CLF-250). This is AUTOSAR v4.3.1 feature.
    • ARXML multiplexed I-PDU support is added (CLF-302). #arxml #bus_monitoring
    • CONTAINER-I-PDU-HEADER-BYTE-ORDER started to be supported in ARXML.
  • Screen updates:
    • All scope elements are auto-sized to same font.

    • 2D chart display for 1D array and AXIS_PTS elements (CLF-296). #screen

    • Curve/Map/Array/Axis "2D chart" tab is improved. Changing chart value will be written to memory immediately.

    • Tabular element 2D chart supports changing axis ranges by right-clicking (CLF-299).

    • Improvement for loading SVG models faster.

    • [Breaking Change] SVG models are kept compressed in screen file. #svg
      That provides smaller screen file. However, old VISU versions will not be able to read SVG models in new-generated screen files.

    • [Breaking Change] Gauge window is completely changed. Predefined gauge types (radial_270, radial_120, vertical_slider, etc) can be used. #gauge #screen
      VISU7 will not be able to display gauges in VISU8 screen file.

      Note for existing screens with gauges: VISU8 will convert old gauges to appropriate new gauge type.

    • [Bug Fix] Screen file (which is attached to a recording) cannot be reused in acquisition (CLF-305).

  • Equation updates:
    • New functions for equations: MAX_ACC, MIN_ACC and PREV(sampleCount) for accumulative operations. #equation
      MAX_ACC: Provides maximum value of a channel until current time. Example: MAX_ACC('name')
      MIN_ACC: Provides minimum value of a channel until current time. Example: MIN_ACC('name')
      PREV: Provides value of a channel before given sample count. Example: PREV('name', 3)

    • Time offset support for equations. #equation

    • [Bug Fix] Archive screen does not open if the equations have too complex dependencies.

    • [Bug Fix] Incorrect equation calculation in some rare cases when multiple MDF4 recording signals are the inputs of formula (CLF-312).

    • [Bug Fix] Selected model is not restored after reopening a screen file.

  • Acquisition updates:
    • XCP seed&key (unlock) mechanism is reimplemented according to the standard. #xcp
      Tool’s XCP seed&key mechanism was identical to CCP. It is in accordance to the standard now.

    • Tool will accept DAQ frames even if they are not received in sorted order by PID. #ccp #xcp

    • Performance improvements for bus-monitoring window.
      Performance problems detected, especially when using FlexRay bus. The UI is more responsive now.

    • Calibrate CURVE/MAP cell values by interpolation.

    • [Breaking Change] Write (calibrate) enable all ECU variables. See Release-notes file for details.

    • [Bug Fix] FlexRay channel-mask (A or B) is not taken into account when searching monitored frames. #flexray

    • [Bug Fix] Trace window freezes during FlexRay monitoring (CLF-298). #flexray

    • [Bug Fix] "Segment" column value (static or dynamic) is incorrect in Bus-monioring::trace window. #flexray

  • Archive updates:
    • Partial MDF 4.2 support is added.
      We’re keeping the tool up-to-date with standards.
      Remote-master-link and bitfieldtexttable CCBLOCK is supported. LDBLOCK is not supported.

    • Textual physical values are imported when reading TXT/CSV measure file.

    • Memory usage is minimized when reading archive files (MDF, CSV). That will provide opening big recordings.

    • New sampling when exporting measure data to TXT/CSV file. Support to use sampling times of an element.

    • [Bug Fix] Tool hangs when loading several MDF4 files of ATIvision (CLF-297).

    • [Bug Fix] Exporting TXT/CSV measure data to another format is not working.

    • [Bug Fix] Minor The signal $EVENT_COMMENTS is not displayed in ASCII format after converting MDF3 file to MDF4 file.
