Vehicle Communication Forwarder
A Vehicle Communication Forwarder is used as an extension of the measuring capabilities of a WCU when measuring on CAN channels. Configuring a Vehicle Communication Forwarder means adding a number of CAN channels. The configurations for these channels differ slightly from the configurations of the WCU's CAN channels. Speed is not configured, instead each channel requires an ECU-ID in the hexadecimal format of either 0x#### or ####, as well as a unique CAN bus number.
Requires WCU version 2.89.0 or higher. The fields HIA PIN and HIB PIN need to be set for the VCF to function correctly. Additionally, in the miscellaneous section of the IO tab there are settings for diagnostic firewall disable which may also need to be set for the VCF to function correctly.
For WCU versions 2.91.0 or higher it is possible to also configure LIN channels on the VCF.
