Therefore, you can utilize a CAPL program to develop monitoring and testing for your
special problem task. The CAPL program reacts to messages that CANoe registers
on the CAN bus, and afterwards you can call your own analysis and test functions.
You can also use a CAPL program to emulate the system environment for a controller.
The CAPL program reacts to both messages on the CAN bus and to your keyboard
inputs, responding with certain CAN messages according to the event registered.
It is entirely up to you to determine which actions are performed in response to
which events.
Another possible application of CAPL is to program a gateway - that is a connecting
element between two buses - to exchange data between different CAN buses and
moreover to correct erroneous data occurring in this exchange.
Last but not least, the logging block can also be triggered by a CAPL program. Conditions
of any desired complexity can be formulated for triggering. Triggering is initiated
by a call of the intrinsic function trigger().
6.1.2 Integration of CAPL Programs
A CAPL program can be inserted in the measurement setup at all hotspots and also
directly at the bus symbol in CANoe's simulation setup. To do this, select the menu
command Insert CAPL node from the hotspot's popup menu, and enter the name of
the CAPL program file you wish to assign to this node in the configuration dialog. If
you want to create a new CAPL program you can enter the name of a file that does
not exist here yet. This file is then automatically created when editing.
You open the CAPL Browser by pressing the [Edit...] button in the configuration dialog
or by double clicking the CAPL node. You can create and modify CAPL programs
with this Browser.
Note: If you prefer to use your own editor to edit CAPL programs, enter it in the
[Environment] section of the CAN.INI file.
Before you start the measurement you must compile all CAPL programs of the configuration.
You can start the CAPL compiler from the CAPL Browser or from the configuration
dialog. To compile all nodes at once, simply choose the main menu item
Configuration│Compile all nodes.
Please note that a CAPL program may react completely differently, depending on the
point at which you place it in the measurement setup. For example, a CAPL program
located in CANoe's measurement setup can indeed generate messages, but it can-
