Vehicle Spy Text API: ECU Object
Vehicle Spy Text API: ECU Object
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
| 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. |
