1.2 Important Notes
1.2.1 Safety Instructions and Hazard Warnings
Caution!In order to avoid personal injuries and damage to property, you have to read andunderstand the following safety instructions and hazard warnings prior to installationand use of this interface. Keep this documentation (manual) always near the inter-face.
1.2.1.1 Proper Use and Intended Purpose
Caution!The interface is designed for analyzing, controlling and otherwise influencing controlsystems and electronic control units. This includes, inter alia, bus systems likeCAN, LIN, K-Line, MOST, FlexRay, Ethernet, BroadR-Reach and/or ARINC 429.
The interfacemay only be operated in a closed state. In particular, printed circuitsmust not be visible. The interfacemay only be operated (i) according to the instruc-tions and descriptions of this manual; (ii) with the electric power supply designed forthe interface, e.g. USB-powered power supply; and (iii) with accessories man-ufactured or approved by Vector.
The interface is exclusively designed for use by skilled personnel as its operationmay result in serious personal injuries and damage to property. Therefore, onlythose persons may operate the interface who (i) have understood the possibleeffects of the actions whichmay be caused by the interface; (ii) are specificallytrained in the handling with the interface, bus systems and the system intended tobe influenced; and (iii) have sufficient experience in using the interface safely.
The knowledge necessary for the operation of the interface can be acquired in work-shops and internal or external seminars offered by Vector. Additional and interfacespecific information, such as „Known Issues“, are available in the „Vector Know-ledgeBase“ on Vector´s website at www.vector.com. Please consult the „VectorKnowledgeBase“ for updated information prior to the operation of the interface.
1.2 Important Notes
VN5610/VN5610A Manual Version 2.2 9
1.2.1.2 Hazards
Caution!The interfacemay control and/or otherwise influence the behavior of control sys-tems and electronic control units. Serious hazards for life, body and property mayarise, in particular, without limitation, by interventions in safety relevant systems(e.g. by deactivating or otherwisemanipulating the enginemanagement, steering,airbag and/or braking system) and/or if the interface is operated in public areas (e.g.public traffic, airspace). Therefore, youmust always ensure that the interface isused in a safemanner. This includes, inter alia, the ability to put the system inwhich the interface is used into a safe state at any time (e.g. by „emergency shut-down“), in particular, without limitation, in the event of errors or hazards.
Comply with all safety standards and public regulations which are relevant for theoperation of the system. Before you operate the system in public areas, it should betested on a site which is not accessible to the public and specifically prepared forperforming test drives in order to reduce hazards.
1.2.1.3 Disclaimer
Caution!Claims based on defects and liability claims against Vector are excluded to theextent damages or errors are caused by improper use of the interface or use notaccording to its intended purpose. The same applies to damages or errors arisingfrom insufficient training or lack of experience of personnel using the interface.

2.4.1 Standalone Media ConverterPhysical layerconversion
The Ethernet channels of the VN5610(A) can be configured independently. That waythe VN5610(A) can be used as amedia converter between an ECU using the100BASE-T1 physical layer and any standard Ethernet equipment (e. g. loggers)using 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T.

Time stamp clock forEthernet and CAN
The VN5610(A) uses a common time stamp clock for Ethernet and CAN events. So ifthemeasurement setup is extended by a CAN network, the generated CAN timestamps are always in sync with the Ethernet time stamps which helps analyzing thenetwork.

3.1 Driver Installation
VN5610/VN5610A Manual Version 2.2 33
3.1 Driver InstallationGeneralinformation
The Vector Driver Disk offers a driver setup which allows the installation or theremoval of Vector devices.
NotePlease note that you will needAdministrator Rights for the following steps.
Step by Step Procedure
1. Execute the driver setup from the autostart menu or directly from\Drivers\Setup.exe before the device is connected to the PC with theincluded USB cable.
If you have already connected the device to the PC, theWindows found newHardwarewizard appears. Close this wizard and then execute the driver setup.
2. Click [Next] in the driver setup dialog. The initialization process starts.
3.1 Driver Installation
VN5610/VN5610A Manual Version 2.2 34
3. In the driver selection dialog, select your devices to be installed (or to be unin-stalled).
4. Click [Install] to execute the driver installation, or [Uninstall] to remove exist-ing drivers.
5. A confirmation dialog appears. Click [Close] to exit. After successful instal-lation, the device is ready for operation and can be connected to the PC withthe included USB cable.
3.2 Device Configuration
VN5610/VN5610A Manual Version 2.2 35
3.2 Device ConfigurationConfiguration Before the installed device can be used in an application, it must be properly con-
figured for the needed use case. This configuration is done with theVector HardwareConfig tool which comes with the driver installation. The tool can be found inWin-dows | Start | Settings | Control Panel | Vector Hardware andmanages allinstalled Vector devices.
ReferenceFurther details onVector Hardware Config can be found in the installation instruc-tions (see section Vector Hardware Configuration on page 38).
Device configuration If you want to change the Ethernet configuration, select a connectedVN5610/VN5610A from the list and double click onDevice Configuration.

3.2 Device Configuration
VN5610/VN5610A Manual Version 2.2 36
NoteIn order to get a working Ethernet link between the VN5610/VN5610A and anotherEthernet device, the auto negotiation has to be activated in both devices.
Alternatively, both devices can bemanually configured with the same parameters(only full duplex mode).
Please note that the Ethernet link will run in half duplex mode if one device usesauto negotiation while the other one is manually configured. The VN5610/VN5610Asupports only full duplex mode.
NoteYou can also change the Ethernet settings in theNetwork Hardware Con-figuration of CANoe.Ethernet /CANalyzer.Ethernet:

3. Start \Drivers\Common\ETHloop.exe from the Vector Driver Disk.
4. Select the connected channels from the list.
5. Press [Twinkle] and check if the LED Status blinks.
6. Start the test by pressing the button [Start Test]. The test is successful if noerror messages occur.

Logical and physicalchannels
Vector Hardware Config enables the channel configuration between installed Vectordevices and applications. Applications use so-called logical channels which are hard-ware independent and have to be assigned to real hardware channels.

5.1 General InformationTime stampsand events
Time stamps are useful when analyzing incoming or outgoing data or eventsequences on a specific bus.
Figure 32: Time stampsof two CAN channels in CANalyzer
Generatingtime stamps
Each event which is sent or received by a Vector network interface has an accuratetime stamp. Time stamps are generated for each channel in the Vector network inter-face. The base for these time stamps is a common hardware clock in the device.

Figure 33: Common time stamp clock for each channel
If themeasurement setup requires more than one Vector network interface, a syn-chronization of all connected interfaces and their hardware clocks is needed.
Due tomanufacturing and temperature tolerances, the hardware clocks may vary inspeed, so time stamps of various Vector devices drift over time.

To compensate for these time stamp deviations between the Vector network inter-faces, the time stamps can be either synchronized by software or by hardware (seenext section).
NoteThe accuracy of the software and hardware sync depends on the interface. Furtherinformation on specific values can be found in the technical data of the respectivedevices.

The software time synchronization is driver-based and available for all applicationswithout any restrictions. The time stamp deviations from different Vector network inter-faces are calculated and synchronized to the common PC clock. For this purpose nofurther hardware setup is required.

5.3 Hardware SyncSynchronizationby hardware
A more accurate time synchronization of multiple devices is provided by the hardwaresynchronization which has to be supported by the application (e. g. CANalyzer,CANoe). Two Vector network interfaces can therefore be connected with theSYNCcableXL (see accessories manual, part number 05018).
In order to synchronize up to five devices at the same time, a distribution box is avail-able (see accessories manual, part number 05085).
