The configuration of the FlexRay bus is described by more than 200 parameters. Plus the descriptions of the messages and signals.

FlexConfig Developer is used to:

• Define the bus architecture

• Define the FlexRay bus parameters

• Define the communication relationships among the bus nodes

• Define the messages and signals

FlexConfig Developer allows you to describe the FlexRay bus through a clearly structured Windows user interface. The file format used is FIBEX, which has become the established format for FlexRay. The FIBEX files can then be exchanged among all the developers who contribute FlexRay nodes. Other formats could also be read and processed, using the conversion functions.

The definition, representation and description of the bus architecture is the typical application from the point of view of an OEM. But suppliers could also need to alter the databases provided by the OEM for test purposes.
 

Entry-Level

Using wizards, even FlexRay beginners and entry-level users can quickly and easily create functioning FlexRay networks. Entry-level users are supported by a special mode, in which only a fraction of the configuration parameters to be configured have to be entered. Missing or interdependent parameters are calculated and validated automatically.
 

Tool Chain Integration

The import/export support of the FIBEX data format allows network data to be exchanged with other development tools. User-defined extensions to the FIBEX formats are kept during import/export.
