canoe panel

### Canoe Software Panel Usage and Features Canoe, developed by Vector Informatik GmbH, serves as a powerful tool for configuring, simulating, analyzing, and testing CAN/CAN FD/LIN/FlexRay/Automotive Ethernet networks. The panels within the software provide an intuitive interface to interact with these functionalities. #### Configuration Panels The configuration panels allow users to define network parameters such as node properties, message definitions, signal attributes, and more[^1]. Through this graphical user interface (GUI), engineers can easily set up complex vehicle communication systems without needing extensive programming knowledge. #### Simulation Panels Simulation capabilities are integrated into various panels that enable real-time simulation of nodes and messages on different bus types like CAN or LIN buses. This feature supports both offline simulations where scenarios are pre-defined before execution and online simulations connected directly to hardware under test via interfaces supported by Vector[^2]. #### Analysis Tools Integrated Within Panels For diagnostic purposes, specific analysis tools reside inside dedicated panels offering comprehensive support during troubleshooting phases. These include decoding raw frames into human-readable formats based on DBC files, visualizing live data streams through customizable graphs, logging events over time periods specified by testers, among others[^3]. ```python import vector.canoe as vc # Example Python code snippet showing how one might configure a simple CAN node using Canoe's API. node_config = { "name": "ExampleNode", "protocol": "CAN", "bitrate": 500_000, } can_node = vc.Node(**node_config) print(f"Created {can_node.name} operating at {can_node.bitrate / 1e3:.1f} kbps.") ```
