    Valid for CANalyzer .AFDX as of version 10.0

    This document presents the CANalyzer .AFDX application areas of analysis, stimulation and their individual functions. and
    their individual functions. The document contains a brief overview of programming in CANalyzer, supplemental programs
    and hardware interfaces.

    Product information and technical data on CANalyzer in general are available in a separate document.

    CANalyzer .AFDX

    1 Introduction
    AFDX® (Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet) is a communication network based on Ethernet. So far, this system has
    primarily been used in the aerospace industry to fulfill its increasing bandwidth requirements.

    1.1 Overview of Advantages

    > Easy observation of the data traffic and comprehensive network analysis

    > Flexible configuration of the measurement setup

    > Analysis of multiple buses

    > Access to CAN, AFDX and digital or analog I/O with the one and the same tool

    1.2 Application Areas

    CANalyzer .AFDX can be used efficiently for all needs related to startup and maintenance of AFDX networks. Regardless of
    whether raw frames or payload contents are needed – CANalyzer .AFDX offers powerful analysis functions on all levels.
    Users quickly reach their goals and always have a clear picture of even complex network topologies.

    Figure 1: CANalyzer .AFDX offers detailed access to the exchanged data down to the level of an individual Ethernet frame.

    1.3 Further Information

    > Vector Download-Center


    Various documents related to CANalyzer are available on the Internet. In the Demo version, for example, you get sample
    configurations for the various use areas and detailed online Help texts, in which all CANalyzer functions are described. In
    addition, you benefit from our valuable know-how in the form of technical articles and application notes.

    2 Hardware Interfaces
    CANalyzer .AFDX utilizes built-in PC interfaces to access AFDX. In addition, a system driver is installed that makes the
    selected interface exclusively available to CANalyzer .AFDX. This interface is removed from access by the operating system,
    and Windows-generated network accesses are prevented.

    The compact and high-performance VN5610 Vector hardware is also supported by a 2-channel Ethernet/CAN interface that
    is connected over USB. This now makes highly precise time stamps available when messages are received.

    3 Symbolic Display via Databases


    The AFDX communication is described in ICD format. The aircraft manufacturer generally provides its suppliers with relevant
    description files. To ensure that this information is also usable in CANalyzer .AFDX, a converter is supplied that converts the
    ICD files into DBC files. The user adds these DBC files to a CANalyzer .AFDX configuration, which then enables access to
    symbolic information.

    4 Message Display
    The current AFDX message traffic is shown in the Trace window. If databases are available, the display is symbolic and is
    based on information from the converted ICD files. A Virtual Link is then no longer visualized numerically by its ID, but
    instead by its name. The display of columns is user configurable, and three preconfigurable column layouts are available for
    quick switchover. Refined search functions ensure that the user does not lose sight of key information among the large
    number of messages.

    Figure 2: Display of AFDX-specific data in the Trace window. Virtual Links are not only shown as numeric values, for example, but also by their names as
    specified in the ICD file.

    5 Display of Frame Data Sets (FDS)


    Signals are transmitted within a Frame Data Set. Also transmitted for each signal is status information that indicates
    whether the signal is valid. This relationship is also mapped in the conversion of ICD files to DBC format. The signals are only
    displayed in the Trace window if the Frame Status has the value Normal Operation (NO).

    6 Data and Graphic Windows


    Of course, signal information can also be displayed in the Data and Graphic windows. In these windows, signals may be
    combined into a bar chart or be shown as a signal response over time. That is why CANalyzer .AFDX considers the
    relationships within a Frame Data Set.

    7 Logging and Replay


    Specific data traffic can be logged and saved to files. Complex trigger conditions may be configured to log specific scenarios.
    It is also possible to play back logged messages via a Replay block.

    8 Training
