The ECU Configurator is a PC application that can configure our Gateway ECUs over CAN bus. The software can be used to set communication channels (CAN, CAN FD, LIN) parameters, frame routing and mapping, I/O mapping, and LIN scheduler for LIN master.
A Kvaser CAN interface is needed in order to use the application. The ECU Configurator can be purchased with or without the Kvaser interface.

The ECU Configurator (p/n: GW-ECU-CONFIG-TOOL) PC application allows to easily configure the ECU over CAN bus. The user can set ECU’s mode, communication channels’ parameters, inter-channel frame conversion (frame mappings), and I/O mappings. The configuration is stored in the device’s non-volatile memory.
The CAN-LIN Gateway is available in several variants that offer combinations of single-CAN / dual-CAN (CAN FD supported), with/without CAN termination, and automatic wake-up and sleep based on CAN bus activity / control over the ignition switch (KL15) input signal.
