ETAS VCI - Vehicle Communication Interface The ETAS VCI Vehicle Communication Interface is the newest generation, high-performance interface between a control PC and vehicle ECU networks, based on leading edge MVCI (Modular VCI) industry-standards technology. The VCI provides a powerful platform for supporting advanced vehicle diagnostics, ECU reprogramming and other functions. The VCI supports virtually all vehicle interface protocols and OEM diagnostic connector pin-outs in use today and has update and expansion capability for future growth as new protocols are introduced. The VCI can communicate with multiple vehicle ECUs simultaneously enabling sophisticated system-level diagnostics.
The ETAS VCI communicates with a host (client) computer using high-speed wired or wireless interfaces for flexible configuration and support of multiple system topologies. The ETAS VCI firmware is built on a powerful industry-
proven RTOS and its functionality includes J2534 pass-thru/gateway, D-PDU
API interface, multiple diagnostic and host session management, secure host communications, protocol drivers, built-in data logging, and is field updateable.
