Controller Communication Tool Box provides an easy-to-use interface between MATLAB® running on an Automation System (AUSY) and calibration software running on a Measurement and Calibration (MC) System through a serial link using the ASAP3 Protocol. This tool box is typically expected to be used in a HIL set-up to communicate and automate calibration or verification and validation of the ECU.

Features

• Can easily initialize and close the communication link between the AUSY and the MC without needing to have knowledge of the ASAP3 protocol.
• Easy to use commands are provided for all the basic command set and most of the extended command set of the ASAP3 protocol.
• Output and errors reported by the MC are interpreted and presented in an easy-to-understand manner
• Online help

Customer Benefits

Controller Communication Toolbox provides an easy-to-use command line interface from MATLAB® to communicate with the ECU calibration software using the serial link through ASAP3 protocol without requiring the user to have an understanding or knowledge of ASAP3 protocol.

The tool box provides easy to use mnemonic commands that are translated and formatted as required by the ASAP3 protocol. Similarly data received from the MC are translated back to easily understandable data and can be stored in a file. Online help eliminates ramp-up time to learn and use the commands.
