Posted by Ken Cheung in Test Solution on Monday, April 20, 2009

Vehicle Network Toolbox, from The MathWorks, directly connects MATLAB to a vehicle’s Controller Area Network (CAN). The tool eliminates the need for additional connectivity tools. Vehicle Network Toolbox is a powerful environment for streamlining test, verification, and analysis activities. Vehicle Network Toolbox is available immediately for the Microsoft Windows platform. U.S. list prices start at $1000.
