Issue Details

When reading an A2L file with XCPplus structure with the ECU Measurement & Calibration Toolkit 


What is an event channel
Introduce A2L ile viewer

No values are seen for Event channels in A2L file if line

\begin XCP_ON_TCP_IP

is included. If this line is removed the A2L file works no issues in the A2L viewer.

Solution

Currently, event channel names defined by XCPplus are not supported by ECUMC now.

A possible workaround is to use numbers for channel names in the A2L file.

For example, for the following event:

/begin EVENT

            "task_5ms"

            "5ms_c0"

            0x0D

you would use "13" (the value 0x0D) instead of "task_5ms" for the event channel name.
