HANtune can be used for tuning and calibration, using the XCP protocol or as a generic CAN-dashboard, therefore this quick-start contains two sections: one for tuning and calibration and one for HANtune as CAN-dashboard. This section is intended for first time users.
For tuning and calibration, using the XCP protocol, the following two elements are needed: An ASAP2 File (.a2l) which matches the program in the ECU. This could be a file which is automatically generated after compiling your Simulink model or one which is provided elsewhere. (following the ASAM standard) This describes all XCP related parameters and signals.
(For more info go to: INSERT LINK HERE!!!!!!!!!! A Layout which contains tabs with editors and/or viewers. A default Layout called “Unnamed” is already available and loaded. You can find the parameters and signals under the ASAP2 elements side-tab. Editors: can be used to send parameters to the target Viewers: can be used to visualize signals from the target

For more info on how to use viewers see chapter Error! Reference source not found.
You are now ready to connect to the target. Check the communication settings by clicking the menu item “Communication” (top of screen), “Communication settings”. If these settings are correct and your target is powered on and connected to the PC, press F5 and click “Connect and request” to connect.
For more info on establishing a connection see: chapter 0 how to make a connection with a controller
To save your project: click “File”, “Save Project as…” in the menu. Choose a filename and the path where to save your project and click “Save”. Your project will be saved as a .hml file.
Hint: Try to use multi-select! Some editors and viewers are capable of showing more than just one signal or parameter.
HANtune can be used to present CAN-traffic in a human readable format. That means that the raw CAN-data is converted to physical values and presented along with the appropriate name and unit. To be able to do this, a descriptive file is needed which contains this information: the DBC file.
These files have the following convention:
CAN-Message: The entire message frame, belonging to one CAN-ID
CAN-Signal: One CAN-Message contains one or more signals. A signal has a unit and name, e.g. oilTemp [°C]
To start using HANtune as a CAN-dashboard, the following two elements are needed:
A CAN database file (DBC) which matches the messages on the CAN-bus. This file with the .dbc file extention following the .dbc (quasi-) standard. This file defines the identifier, name, scaling, offset, etc. of CAN massages, enabling HANtune to present the raw CAN-data in a human readable format.
(For more info go to: Chapter xx how to add a DBC file)

Editors: can be used to send CAN-messages to the CAN-bus
Viewers: can be used to visualize CAN-messages from the CAN-bus
