RadiMationInterface.can

The RadiMationInterface.can file is a CANoe CAPL file that provides specifically named CAPL functions that are called from the RadiMation^® software. Those CAPL functions are used to generate an interface to provide measurement values from the RadiMation^® software to the CANoe software.

You can download the zip file that contains the RadiMationInterface.can file here.

By including the RadiMationInterface.can file inside your CANoe or CANalyzer project, it will be possible to get updates of the RadiMation^® measurement values. The CANoe Switch Matrix device driver is calling the specifically named CAPL functions that are defined in the RadiMationInterface.can file.

The functions that are called in the CAPL interface are event triggered. This means that the updated measurement values are transmitted to the CAPL interface at the moment that the updated measurement value becomes available.

For example, when the Forward power has been measured in the immunity test, then the forward power measurement result is directly transmitted to the corresponding CAPL function. The same happens for the other defined functions, like the updated frequency directly after a frequency change.

This also means that when a specific measurement value is not available, that the corresponding CAPL function is also not called. When a RadiMation^® immunity test, for example is configured to only perform a signal generator carrier level test, then the forward power is not available, and the corresponding CAPL function will not be called at all. Which events are triggered, and how often they are triggered is thus completely depending on the configuration of the TSF in RadiMation^®.

When filtering of the called CAPL function is needed, for example in the situation that the updated value of signal generator level value is not needed, then that should be done in implementation of the corresponding function in the RadiMationInterface.can file in the CANoe software. Those functions can for example be programmed to perform a 'No Operation' call.

Note:

The CANoe Switch Matrix device driver is not able to determine if a specifically named CAPL function is existing in the running CANoe environment. When one or more of the specifically named CAPL functions from the RadiMationInterface.can file, is not implemented, the function call is being forwarded to the CANoe software itself, and there will be no error message or return value. The CANoe Switch Matrix is thus not able to warn or raise an error when one or more of the specifically called CAPL functions is not implemented.

For more details on how to use and attach this file in your CANoe project, please see then CANoe page.
