Automated Test with WaveBPS

WaveBPS includes a TCP/IP server to allow remote control from other applications. The TCP/IP Server offers a text based command set allowing a remote application capture data, save data and collect results. This server is very easily controlled by Vehicle Spy scripts allowing test systems that involve both message simulation and diagnostics to be combined with analog capture and analysis.

 

The TCP/IP server configuration is available from the Application Configuration tab (pictured below.)

 

Application Configuration Tab

 

Here you can enable the TCP/IP server with a specific port. You can also enable the TCP/IP server to start when WaveBPS starts. Make sure to allow the WaveBPS and port you choose access though your firewall.

A list of available commands supported is listed in the table 1 below.

 

Table 1 - Text API commands for WaveBPS Main Object

Command Description example
de accesses the decoder objects collection

de.count? // returns count of decoders

de(0).description SPIDecode // sets description of first decoder to SPIDecode

sc accesses the scope object  
an accesses the analysis results collection (one per channel)  
start starts wavebps  
stop stops wavebps  
refreshgui loads the settings into the gui (call when you load configuration settings)  
saveentirerawwaveform "filepath" saves the current waveform to the "filepath"  
hascaptureddata? returns whether wavebps has finished captured data  
loadconfig "filepath" loads a configuration indicated by "filepath"  
an(key or index).getscalar? "scalarname" reads a scalar value such as error count or frame count  
savevspybuffer "filepath" saves a vehicle spy buffer savevspybuffer c:\test.csv
saveeventlist "filepath" saves the event list to a file name saveeventlist c:\test.csv
autosave indicates whether autosave should occur on a filter match capture autosave 1
autorearm indicates whther a filter match capture should rearm autorearm 0
autosavepath sets/returns the autosave path autosavepath?
decodercha sets/return the index of the decoder for channel a decodercha 1
decoderchb sets/return the index of the decoder for channel b  
decoderchc sets/return the index of the decoder for channel c  
decoderchd sets/return the index of the decoder for channel d  
defaultevent This is the event filter box as an index  
defaulteventfilter This is the text filter  
wavefileplayonmatch returns/sets whether a wavefile should be played when a trigger is matched  
wavefilepath returns/sets the path of the of the wavefile that is played when a trigger occurs  

 

Table 2 - Decoder Object Properties

 

Command Description example
baudrate returns/sets the baudrate of the decoder

 

basicdatabasepath returns/sets the path of the data base for this network  
canbittolerance returns/sets the CAN bit tolerance in percent  
description returns/sets the description of the decoder  
decodertype

returns/set the decoder type. The following values are valid

DWCAN = 0,
FlexRay = 1,
SWCAN= 2,
LSFTCAN= 3,
LIN= 4,
J1850VPW= 5,
KLine= 7,
UART= 9,
NoDecode= 10,
Disabled=12,
MathAMinusB= 13,
MathAPlusB= 14,
I2C= 15,
SPI= 16,

 
databitordering indicates either endianess of the data items either msb first or last  
datalengthbits indicates the number of bits per data item (works for those decoders who support it such as UART and SPI)  
enablemovingaveragefilter enables a 3 point moving average for the detecting thresholds  
errordecodelimit returns/set the number errors before the decoder gives up  
enablegmlancanswitch enables message decoding and detection of the GM3110 high speed programming protocol (Automatically switches decoder baud rate)  
enableautobaudrate enables an automatic baud rate detection where the estimated baud rate is compared to standard values  
enablemanualthreshold enables a manual threshold as opposed to the automatic algorithim  
flexraychannel inidcates if the flexray monitored is (A or B or auto). this is required for CRC calculation testing because flexray uses different CRCs on channel a and b.  
highbaudrate for swcan indicates the high baud rate that is used when switched  
highvoltagethreshold for swcan is the voltage threshold used to detect transceivers operating in high voltage mode  
isinverted indicates if the manual threshold detection is inverted  
idlebitcount the number of quiet bit times either between messages or before decoding can start  
idlengthbits for protocols that support it - this indicates the length of the ID in bits. the id is shown in the ID column and is used for database searching  
rearma this is the voltage threshold for rearm of high voltage  
rearmb this is the voltage threshold for rearm of low voltage  
spimode the SPI mode indicates clock polarity and sampling position  
thresholdhigh this the threshold for trigger when the waveform is rising  
thresholdlow this is the threshold for trigger when waveform is falling  
uartstopbitcount this is the count of stop bits for a uart decoder  
uartparity this is the parity for for a uart decoder
