Vector CAN Flash Error?

Started by learn 10 years ago1 replylatest reply 10 years ago349 views

We are using Vector CAN Flash DC 2.4 to load software (.mot) file into our Electronic Control Unit (ECU).

I invoke this tool.  Say 'yes' to Disclaimer.  Open CAN Database (.dbc file).  Right-click on opened database.  Click on "Download File".
A window opens with Vector: Flash Attributes DC 2.4.  I click Next.  I add Application File (.mot file).  Click Next and attached error pops
up.

What might be causing this error?

Unfortunately, I am not an expert on the specific tool you are using.  However, with similar tools, this kind of error is generally due to poor cabling and/or electrically noisy environment.  I would start from that.
