Determine if enhancements, bugs, or compatibility considerations in other products impact you. If you are upgrading from a software version other than the most recent one, review the current release notes and all interim versions. For example, when you upgrade from V1. 0 to V1. 2, review the release notes for V1. 1 and V1. 2. 1 Vehicle Network ToolboxTM Release Notes What Is in the Release Notes New Features and Changes · New functionality · Changes to existing functionality Version Compatibility Considerations When a new feature or change introduces a reported incompatibility between versions, the Compatibility Considerations subsection explains the impact. Compatibility issues reported after the product release appear under Bug Reports at The MathWorksTM Web site. Bug fixes can sometimes result in incompatibilities, so review the fixed bugs in Bug Reports for any compatibility impact. Fixed Bugs and Known Problems The MathWorks offers a user-searchable Bug Reports database so you can view Bug Reports. The development team updates this database at release time and as more information becomes available. Bug Reports include provisions for any known workarounds or file replacements. Information is available for bugs existing in or fixed in Release 14SP2 or later. Information is not available for all bugs in earlier releases. Access Bug Reports using your MathWorks Account. 2 Version 1. 2 (R2010a) Vehicle Network ToolboxTM Software Version 1. 2 (R2010a) Vehicle Network Toolbox Software This table summarizes what is new in Version 1. 2 (R2010a): New Features and Changes Yes Details below Version Compatibility Considerations Yes. Details labeled as Compatibility Considerations, below. Fixed Bugs and Known Problems Bug Reports Includes fixes Related Documentation at Web Site Printable Release Notes: PDF Current product documentation New features and changes introduced in this version are: · "New Hardware Support for Kvaser Devices" on page 3 · "Enhanced Toolbox and Block Library Performance" on page 4 · "Removal of the receiveRaw Function " on page 4 · "New Signals Property for CAN Message Functions" on page 5 · "New BusLoad Property" on page 5 · "Enhanced filterSet Function" on page 5 · "Enhanced replay Function" on page 5 New Hardware Support for Kvaser Devices The Vehicle Network ToolboxTM supports Kvaser CAN devices, including these products: BlackBird LAPcan LAPcan II Leaf Leaf Light PC104 PC104+ PCcan PCIcan PCIcanx 3 Vehicle Network ToolboxTM Release Notes Leaf Light Rugged Leaf Professional Leaf SemiPro Memorator Memorator II Memorator Professional PCIcan II PCIcanx II USBcan USBcan II USBcan Rugged USBcan Professional You can use these devices with the Vehicle Network Toolbox and the CAN block library as well. For a complete list of devices, see the Supported Hardware page at the MathWorks Web site. Enhanced Toolbox and Block Library Performance The toolbox now transmits, receives, and processes messages at a faster rate. The Transmit and Receive blocks transmit and receive messages at a faster rate. Removal of the receiveRaw Function The receiveRaw function will be removed in a future release. In earlier software versions, the receiveRaw function expedited receive capability with minimal processing time and maximized message throughput. [. . . ] It is recommended that you update your code and use the new Signals property because all access to direct signal properties will be removed in a future release. If you cannot update your code at this time, you can use the canMessageCompatibilityMode function to restore access to direct signal properties. New BusLoad Property The BusLoad property displays the load on the CAN bus associated with the CAN message traffic on Kvaser devices. Enhanced filterSet Function The filterSet function now automatically calculates and applies the best case filter settings from an array of CAN IDs. Enhanced replay Function The replay function now replays messages from MATLAB to Simulink with their original timestamps without blocking Simulink operation. 5 Vehicle Network ToolboxTM Release Notes Version 1. 1 (R2009b) Vehicle Network Toolbox Software This table summarizes what's new in Version 1. 1 (R2009b): New Features and Changes Yes Details below Version Compatibility Considerations No Fixed Bugs and Known Problems Bug Reports Includes fixes Related Documentation at Web Site None New Hardware Support for the Vector Informatik Device Additional CAN hardware support is added for the CANcardXLe device. 6 Version 1. 0 (R2009a) Vehicle Network ToolboxTM Software Version 1. 0 (R2009a) Vehicle Network Toolbox Software This table summarizes what's new in Version 1. 0 (R2009a): New Features and Changes Yes Details below Version Compatibility Considerations No Fixed Bugs and Known Problems Bug Reports Includes fixes Related Documentation at Web Site None Version 1. 0 of the Vehicle Network Toolbox software includes the following features: · "CAN Connectivity from MATLAB" on page 7 · "Vector CAN Database Support" on page 7 · "CAN Message Encoding and Decoding" on page 7 · "CAN Message Filtering" on page 8 · "CAN Message Logging and Replay" on page 8 · "CAN Block Library" on page 8 · "CAN Message Traffic GUI" on page 8 · "MATLAB Compiler Support" on page 8 CAN Connectivity from MATLAB You connect to a CAN network from the MATLAB interface with R2009a. Vector CAN Database Support Version 1. 0 of the Vehicle Network Toolbox supports the Vector CAN database. CAN Message Encoding and Decoding You can encode and decode CAN traffic messages with Version 1. 0 of the Vehicle Network Toolbox. 7 Vehicle Network ToolboxTM Release Notes CAN Message Filtering Version 1. 0 of the Vehicle Network Toolbox allows you to filter CAN messages by message ID. CAN Message Logging and Replay With Version 1. 0 of Vehicle Network Toolbox you can log and replay CAN messages. CAN Block Library Version 1. 0 of the Vehicle Network Toolbox comes with a Simulink CAN block library that you can use to simulate CAN network models. CAN Message Traffic GUI Version 1. 0 of the Vehicle Network Toolbox provides a simple GUI that allows you to monitor CAN message traffic. MATLAB Compiler Support Version 1. 0 of the Vehicle Network Toolbox supports the MATLAB® CompilerTM. With this capability, you can use the MATLAB Compiler to take M-files as input and generate redistributed, stand-alone applications that include Vehicle Network Toolbox functionality. 8 Compatibility Summary for Vehicle Network ToolboxTM Software Compatibility Summary for Vehicle Network Toolbox Software This table summarizes new features and changes that might cause incompatibilities when you upgrade from an earlier version, or when you use files on multiple versions.
