A Vehicle Communication Forwarder (VCF) is used as an extension of the measuring capabilities of a WCU when measuring on CAN channels. Configuring a VCF 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.
For WCU versions 2.91.0 or higher it is also possible to configure LIN channels on the VCF.
To read more about adding a VCF, see the Add CAN channels section in I/O configurations.
The fields HIA PIN and HIB PIN need to be set for the VCF to function correctly. 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. In addition to setting these PINs manually it is possible to upload PINs from file for either individual or for multiple vehicles. As of 2.94.0 it will also be possible to fetch PINs from PIE for the resources in a group. Once the PINs have either been uploaded from file or fetched from PIE they can be applied via the I/O configuration of either the resource group or an individual WCU, to read more about applying PINs see here and about checking PINs here.
