Added support for LabVIEW 2013.
Removed support for LabVIEW 2009.
Added a new utility NI ECU MC A2L Viewer which can import and display ASAM A2L files.
Added property mcPropECU_LogFileName in order to log CCP or XCP protocol trafic into an ASCII file. On LabVIEW RT and CompactRIO targets, the logfile is created on the target system and needs to be transferred to the host after logging has been completed. Note that no additional CAN port is used for the logging which makes this method superior to any other method like running a bus monitor in parallel.
Added ECU timeout properties mcPropECU_XCP_Timeout_T1, mcPropECU_XCP_Timeout_T2, mcPropECU_XCP_Timeout_T3, mcPropECU_XCP_Timeout_T4, mcPropECU_XCP_Timeout_T5, mcPropECU_XCP_Timeout_T6, mcPropECU_XCP_Timeout_T7 which are defined in the ASAM XCP standard for the various XCP commands. For details which timeout applies to a specific command, please refer to the ASAM XCP standard. The values are typically read from an A2L file but may be overridden manually. Note that this value might be modified by the mcPropECU_TimingFactor property.
Added ECU timeout properties mcPropECU_CCP_Timeout_T_std , mcPropECU_CCP_Timeout_T_pgm, mcPropECU_CCP_Timeout_T_mem, mcPropECU_CCP_Timeout_T_diag, mcPropECU_CCP_Timeout_T_act which are defined in the ASAM XCP standard.

Additional Programming Topics and Known Issues
ECU M&C Toolkit 2.2 supports CCP Version 2.1.
ECU M&C Toolkit 2.2 does support symbolic conversion tables for reading only. Refer to mcDoubleToText for further information.
NI-IO Trace monitors function calls to the ECU M&C Toolkit API. This tool helps in debugging programming problems in the application. To launch this tool, open the Software branch of the MAX Configuration tree, right-click NI IO Trace, and select Launch NI IO Trace. If more than one National Instruments driver is installed on your computer, you can specify which APIs to spy on at any time. By default, all installed APIs are enabled. To select the APIs to spy on, select Spy»Options, select the View Selections tab, and select the APIs under Installed API Choices.
The following LabVIEW example VIs do not run under LabVIEW Real-Time and LabVIEW Base Development System:
To make these examples run, remove the subVI call from 3DDisplayWrapper.vi in MCCharacteristicsEditors.llb.
If you are using an NI USB-8473 or NI USB-8473s, the ECU M&C Toolkit is based internally on the NI-CAN Frame API. For this reason, the following properties are not available for the GetProperty function:
CRO Task (mcPropCRODAQ_DTO_Task)
DTO Task (mcPropDAQ_DTO_Task)
SamplesPending (mcPropDAQ_SamplesPending)
The LabVIEW project examples for CompactRIO and R-Series are configured for use with NI 985x C-Series only.
The ECU M&C ECU Simulator (DemoECU) is not supported under CompactRIO.
The Basic Examples and some advanced examples are not supported under cRIO using XCP/TCP and XCP/UDP. To use those examples, you need to modify the communication parameters like the IP Address.
Errata to the ECU M&C Documentation: mcDAQReadTimestamped is documented as not waiting for messages, returning samples from messages received since the previous function call. In fact, mcDAQReadTimestamped waits until NumberOfSamplesToRead has been collected. To avoid blocking, use mcPropDAQ_SamplesPending to check the number of collected samples.
Known Functional Issue: Bug ID 407844: mcDAQReadTimestamped does not return correct timestamp information. This issue will be fixed in the next release. If you would like more information on this issue feel free to contact NI and referencing the ID number given in this document. You can contact us through any of the normal support channels including phone, email, or the discussion forums. See
www.ni.com/contact to contact us.

Additional Topics and Known Issues for XCP/CCP Custom Device for NI VeriStand
ECU M&C Toolkit 2.2 supports NI VeriStand 2010 and 2011.
Refer to the XCP/CCP Custom Device online help for information about using the NI XCP/CCP Custom device with VeriStand 2010 and 2011.
Upgrade Note: If you are upgrading your XCP/CCP Custom Device from the already-installed National Instruments Developer Zone download, you need to clear the XCP/CCP controls from the NI VeriStand project temporary screen files directory.
Upgrading Existing VeriStand System Definitions From a Previous Custom Device Version: System Definitions created with an older version of the XCP/CCP Custom Device need to be mutated to the new version before they can be used. You can mutate the system definition by simply opening the System Definition file in the System Explorer and saving.
The CCP/XCP on CAN communication introduces higher busloads on the CAN network: If you are using CCP or XCP on CAN, the NI VeriStand Custom Device can add flexible configurations for reading and writing Characteristics and Measurements from the ECU. The new feature in the 2.3 release for NI VeriStand 2012 allows you to run multiple Characteristic as well as Measurement read or write tasks in parallel. If you set up such a complex system, every task introduces some amount of busload onto the CAN network, because those CCP/XCP commands are based on a handshake protocol. If you run the CCP/XCP on CAN a protocol to its limits, the introduced busload on the CAN network will increase significantly, and the ECU may not respond in the predefined time anymore. The reason is that there may not be enough free network bandwidth. In such cases, we recommended analyzing the CAN busload on the CAN network and trying to keep CAN traffic below values of 60% to 70%, to keep the network in an operable state. A typical indicator of running into such CCP/XCP on CAN protocol limits is a timeout error when executing a Characteristic/Measurement read or write operation. Therefore, we recommend checking the XCP/CCP Custom Device error status variable, whether the error 0xFFFB67FE "A timeout occurred waiting for a response from the ECU" occurs.

Automating the Installation of NI Products
You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes. However, starting with the August 2012 releases (products using NI Installers version 3.1 or later), you may need to perform additional steps before or during a silent installation of NI software.
If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.0, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.0 separately before you install NI software.
For more information, refer to the following KnowledgeBase articles:
For more information on silent installations of individual NI products, refer to KB 4CJDP38M, Automating the Installation of a Single Installer.
For more information on silent installations of suited NI products, such as NI Developer Suite, refer to KB 4GGGDQH0, Automating the Installation of a Suited Installer.
To determine what version of NI Installers your product contains, refer to KB 4CJDR18M, How Can I Determine the Type and Version of My National Instruments Installer?.
