Vehicle Network Toolbox

Description

Introduction

Vehicle Network Toolbox™ provides connectivity to CAN devices from MATLAB® and Simulink®. The toolbox provides functions for encoding, decoding, and filtering CAN messages, enabling you to transfer messages between the MATLAB workspace and a CAN bus. You can use the toolbox to run test sequences that log and record CAN messages for later analysis. You can also use it to connect with industry-standard CAN database files and replay recorded sequences of messages. The toolbox includes Simulink blocks that enable you to simulate message traffic on a CAN bus or connect models to a live network. Vehicle Network Toolbox supports CAN interface devices from Vector, Kvaser, and National Instruments.
