MATLAB Vehicle Network Communication

Prerequisites

• MATLAB R2021a or later
• Vehicle Network Toolbox installed (ver('vnt') to verify)
• For physical hardware: vendor-specific drivers installed (Vector CANlib, Kvaser CANlib, NI-XNET, PEAK PCAN driver)
• For testing without hardware: MathWorks Virtual channels are always available
