Steps to build A2L files for Vector CANape and INCA
| From the top level of the model, double click on the ‘ECU Definition’ block, and check ‘Output HEX/A2L Files (Third-Party Tool Support)’. |  |
| From the top level of the model, double click on the ‘XCP Protocol Definition’, and check ‘Generate A2L for CANape/INCA’. |  |
| Once these options are configured, a Vector CANape a2l file will be created automatically during the build process and placed at C:\ECU\a2l. The a2l file contains information about the built application such as details about measurements and adjustments. Using this file, you can connect to the programmed ECU to view live data and make calibration adjustments. |  |
| In the step above, you will notice that there are 3 extra files created labeled “…_CANAPE”. This is because the model that caused these files to be generated contained parameters with access level 1 and 4. The file for access level 1 ends with ‘_A1’ and contains only those parameters for access level 1. The file for access level 4 ends with ‘_A4’ and contains parameters defined with access level 4 or lower (e.g. all parameters.) | |
