1 ETAS INCA V7.0 Integrated Measurement, ECU Calibration and Diagnostic Environment At a Glance Flexible interface for connecting calibration data base systems Easy integration of customer-specific instruments Open interface for calibration data documentation Easy configuration of complex experiments The tools of the INCA product family form an integrated environment for measurement, ECU calibration and diagnostics. The tools are used for ECU development and test as well as for validation and calibration of electronically controlled systems on the test bench and in the vehicle. INCA offers a wide variety of functions ranging from precalibration of function models on the PC, ECU flash programming, measurement data analysis, calibration data management to automated optimization of ECU parameters. The generated calibration and measurement data can be processed and evaluated continuously. ECU calibration can be prepared offline and performed online during continuous operation. INCA supports a great number of compact, automotive-proven measurement devices and interface modules which allow the access to ECUs, buses and sensors. Signals from the ECU, as well as from bus lines (LIN, CAN, FlexRay) or measure- ment devices are synchronously acquired, displayed and recorded. The numerous innovations and improvements of the new version 7.0 increase the efficiency and performance of the tools on one hand. On the other hand, INCA V7.0 offers new possibilities for integrating tools and data in the development environment of the customer. Standards and open interfaces For the seamless integration into the development environment, INCA comes with a number of open interfaces. INCA V7.0 is compliant with the new specification for exchanging measurement data, ASAM MDF4, and with the latest versions of the ASAM standards MCD-2 MC (ECU description for measurement and calibration systems) and MCD-3 MC (test bench interface). INCA V7.0 is the only tool currently on the market which supports the parallel connection to automation and auto-optimization on the test bench according to the ASAM MCD-3 MC V2.2 specification.

2 Open, efficient, and reliable The new Instrument Development Kit allows the extension of the INCA experiment environment by proprietary control and display elements. The supplied instructions, examples and a configuration wizard facilitate the development of specific instruments for the user. With INCA V7.0, the mechanisms for integrating in-house or third-party hardware were expanded. For example, it is now possible to use measurement value catalogues with integrated third-party hardware. INCA V7.0 supports the documentation of calibration data with a new generic interface which allows the easy generation of customized file formats and layouts. The new ecdm interface to the enterprise calibration data management allows the exchange of calibration data directly between INCA and data base systems. Sharing one configuration With INCA V7.0 it can always be ensured that the work in a project or a department is done on identically configured INCA computers. In the new INCA version, the settings of the user options can be quickly and easily adjusted between different PCs. Differences in the user options on different PCs can be identified quickly. When installing INCA V7.0, the existing settings can be taken over automatically from the previous version. The quick way to the optimum experiment The configuration dialog of the INCA experiment environment has been revised completely in the new version. The new dialog allows the direct configuration of control and display elements of the experiment when selecting the calibration values and measurement signals. Existing INCA experiments can be easily and quickly adapted using the new dialog. The multiple selection option enables the quick and consistent configuration of display settings of different labels. The new Virtual Device for ECU interfaces facilitates the preparation of experiments without connected hardware in the offices. The advantage: The settings for the acquisition of ECU signals do not have to be reconfigured in the vehicle. In addition, the handling of master/slave ECUs is straightforward in INCA V7.0: ECUs can be grouped already in the data base browser. In the experiment, it is possible to select the parameters for the ECU group or the individual ECUs in the group. Graphical comparison of characteristic curves INCA V7.0 extends the functionality of the combined calibration editor. In the new version of the editor, the characteristic curves can be superimposed for a quick visual comparison. Changes to the individual characteristic curves can be performed as usual in the table view or directly in the graphic chart using keyboard or mouse.

Figure 4: INCA V7.0 provides for extending the experiment environment through its own control and display elements. The example above shows animated graphics (engine and instrument cluster) as well as slide controls and an animated road map.

4 GPS-synchronous measurement data Hooks for the ECU During a test drive, INCA V7.0 lets you capture position data using a GPS mouse synchronously to the acquisition of ECU data. GPS data can be exported and stored separately for the display in electronic maps such as Google maps. New hardware options The new EHOOKS tools from ETAS provide ECU function hooks for development and calibration purposes quickly and in high quality. The new INCA add-ons EHOOKS-CAL and EHOOKS-BYP allow simple activation or deactivation of hooks in the ECU for looping in parameter values using INCA or for bypassing of functions. INCA V7.0 offers complete support of all interfaces of the modules ES910, ES920 and ES921, so that they can be used for ECU function development, for measurement and calibration in the vehicle as well as in a real time interface between the ECU and the test bench. INCA V7.0 also supports the new two-channel version of the USB CAN bus module ES581, and the new ECU and bus interface modules ES592, ES593-D and ES595. Easy integration in the tool and ECU environment For connecting ECUs via CAN or Ethernet to INCA, ETAS provides the Integration Package XCP-IP free of charge. XCP-IP contains source code for the XCP ECU driver, a comprehensive documentation and a configuration tool. The XCP-IP driver supports ECU measurement, calibration, flash programming and bypassing. To ensure the function of the overall system, INCA V7.0 automatically controls whether the hardware is programmed with the corresponding firmware when hardware is connected. Necessary firmware adaptations can be easily made directly in INCA. With the MDF-IP Measure Data Format Integration Package ETAS provides a software module that lets other tools read and interpret measurement data. MDF-IP ensures a seamless exchange of INCA measurement data in the development and calibration process. Fully INCA-compatible: The new drive recorder ES720 The new drive recorder ES720 offers an optimum combination of reliability, INCA compatibility, quick measurement readiness and short boot times. As a multirecorder it can perform different measurements in parallel and store the acquired measurement data in different files. Using a sequencing mechanism, the drive recorder is capable of executing different measurement tasks successively.
