Config Options
-c PROTOCOL
Specify the communication protocol. Supported values for PROTOCOL are KFX (KEFEX protocol), SIP11
(SHIP-IP protocol with 11-bit CAN-ID) and SIP29 (SHIP-IP protocol with 29-bit CAN-ID).

-d LEVEL
Specify the verbosity level to control the amount of status information printed to the console (stderr). Supported

-f FORMAT
Specify the output format of variable values when printing to stdout. Supported values for FORMAT are DEC

Default value if option is omitted is DEC.
-i NAME
Specify the CAN interface for communication with a ECU.
Linux: NAME specifies the interface name of the hosts CAN bus (e.g. can0). The interface shall be up and
running before invoking the tool.
Windows: NAME specifies the name of the STW CAN-DLL (e.g. stwpeak2.dll). The interface settings shall be
defined in the DLL's INI file.
-p FILE
Specify the KEFEX project file. Both, the .DEF and .KSP project file formats are supported.
Despite the tool provides commands to safely read and write data from / to a ECU it is not allowed to
use it in a safety application. This would require a tool qualification which is not available yet!
