Press Release, 5 December 2025
Vector Informatik has unveiled CANape 24, the newest version of its trusted tool for measurement, calibration, and validation in modern automotive electronics. The update brings powerful improvements aimed at helping engineers work more effectively with the increasingly complex ECUs (Electronic Control Units) and high-performance computers found in today’s vehicles.
With CANape 24, developers now get support for the new ASAM CMP protocol in addition to legacy communication standards like CAN, FlexRay, LIN, and Ethernet — making it easier to perform precise, high-fidelity measurements across a variety of vehicle networks. The software also supports dynamic data structures used in modern ECU environments such as SOME/IP.
A standout enhancement is the ability to perform real-time validation of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) algorithms. Engineers can now visualize, in real time, detected free space and obstacles — using input from cameras, RADAR, or LiDAR — enabling quicker verification and tuning of safety-critical functions like obstacle detection or lane-keeping.
In addition, CANape 24 integrates logging and data-management tools for live vehicle monitoring. The accompanying vLoggerControlRoom allows teams to track vehicle position, speed, and logger status in real time. Projects benefit from 100 GB of cloud storage for logging, plus secure data exchange via Vector’s Team Services — all aimed at streamlining workflows during development and testing phases.
Overall, with this release Vector is clearly addressing the growing complexity of modern vehicle architectures — offering a more flexible, performance-driven platform for ECU calibration and ADAS validation that aligns with the demands of next-generation cars.
