The UDS API documentation reads:
Two questions:Description: This value is used to set the SeparationTime (STmin) parameter defined in the ISO‐TP standard: it
indicates the minimum time the sender is to wait between the transmissions of two Consecutive Frames.
Possible Values: 0x00 (unlimited) to 0x7F (range from 0ms to 127ms). Note: as set in ISO‐TP standard, values
from 0xF1 to 0xF9 should define a range from 100µs to 900µs, but due to system time resolution limitation
those value are defaulted to 1ms. Other values are ISO reserved
- Is this information up to date? So it is not possible to have a separation time shorter than 1ms, even though when using a separation time of 0 the CAN dongle successfully sends messages at a faster rate than 1ms?
- When using value 0xF3 in my current SW the API defaults to 1ms, however the timestamps show a quite inconsistent transmission time. The average is around 1ms for TP-ISO messages, but there are often messages send at a faster rate while later messages seem to "compensate" the rate by being send at a slower rate than 1ms. Is this behavior normal/expected in TPISO, or is it some weird behavior due to the transmission rate being shorter than 1ms, or is it just the timestamps being not accurate ?
