VN8910A

The Vector VN8910A is a base module of the VN8900 interface family, which Vector calls a single module system. It contains an Intel Atom computer that runs time-critical parts of a CANoe or CANalyzer configuration (CANoe RT) separately from the PC user interface, and it can also run a measurement stand-alone with no PC attached.

The base module has no bus connectors of its own: it takes one plug-in module, the VN8950 (CAN/LIN) or VN8970 (FlexRay/CAN/LIN), whose piggyback transceivers set the bus channels. It connects to the host PC over USB 2.0, has two USB host ports for adding further Vector interfaces (such as VN1630/VN1640, VN3600, VN5610 or VN7600), an Ethernet port for Vector VX devices, a Binder sync connector, keys for starting and stopping a measurement and for CAPL functions, and status LEDs.

Typical uses are remaining bus simulation, gateways, test execution (MiniHIL), Simulink bypassing and data logging in the lab or in a vehicle. Drivers are installed with the Vector Driver Setup. Vector describes the VN8910 and VN8910A as discontinued base units; the current VN8900 base modules are the VN8911 and VN8917.
