Device Mode
|
|
Note This section is not available on all devices supported by the Vector Tool Platform. |
The device is powered through the OBD connector’s power PIN. So it is automatically rebooted when it is connected to the vehicle. Since the device's operating system has to be booted first it takes a while until the device is ready for usage. To reduce this boot time the Fast Boot Mode is available, in contrast to the Configuration Mode which is required for updating the system.
Booting in Configuration Mode takes about 35 seconds, booting in Fast Boot Mode takes about 20 seconds only.
Switching between the modes may take up to 2 minutes.
|
Note To update the data of the device application – such transferring new flash packages to the device – the device can remain in the Fast Boot Mode. |
Configuration Mode
The Configuration Mode is used to update the drivers, update the system and install new applications. The Configuration Mode is the default mode. So the device is immediately configured to be updated with new applications, etc.
When the configuration is completed it is highly recommended switching into Fast Boot Mode.
Fast Boot Mode
The Fast Boot Mode can be used whenever the device is operated to execute specific task such as
- reprogramming ECUs
- providing the diagnostic access point for remote diagnostics
- remote flashing
- run diagnostic scripts
Admin Settings

Note This section is not available on all devices supported by the Vector Tool Platform, but currently only on devices that allow WLAN access. |
Certain configuration settings can only be made after prior legitimation with the help of an administrator password. Via Change password you must first define an administrator password. This requires a device-specific master password, which can be obtained from Vector Support upon request. Later you can change the password with the currently valid password or with the master password.
After entering the administrator password you have specified, you will be given administrator access via Legitimize. This allows you to unlock certain features. Currently, setting up a WLAN Access Point is the only feature that requires activation. Once you have completed this process, click Lock to exit the administrator access and thus complete the activation of the feature.
Extended Real Time (ERT)
|
|
Note This section is not available on all devices supported by the Vector Tool Platform. |
With the feature Extended Real Time as a part of the Vector Tool Platform the latency and determinism of Vector tools like CANoe and CANape are improved. To achieve this, the device is logically divided into two areas. A new area provides Extended Real Time in which predefined functions can be executed under real-time conditions.
Extended Real Time is supported by the Vector Hardware VN8912A, VT6051A, VN8911 and VN8914.
Click Activate to configure ERT on the currently selected device.
Power Up/Down

Note This section is not available on all devices supported by the Vector Tool Platform. |
Enter a value under Shutdown delay to define the time between the detection of a shutdown request on the Power Up/Down line and the actual initiation of the system shutdown. Click Apply to use the value.
