K-Line refuses to throw in the towel

K-Line analysis on different communication levels

Other windows permit interactive sending of K-Line frames. The application programming language, CAPL, can be used to send raw frames and inject errors. Simulations can also be created with CAPL in conjunction with a special K-Line API. Test modules then produce the automatic test sequences and generate reports.

Summary

High-performance and modern tools are also available for the K-Line protocol, which has certainly aged over the years, but is still used for such purposes as maintenance of diagnostic testers and ECUs. They not only give automotive OEMs and suppliers qualified tests at a high level of quality; they also enable trouble-free advanced development and reuse of existing K-Line components.
