Specifics

This tool connection allows you to start, stop and then retrieve recordings from IPETRONIK ETHOS data loggers.

Preparation

The following additional licenses are required to use the connection: SCRIPT_ENG, UI_OPENABK.

It is not yet possible to set the channels to be recorded via ecu.test. Instead, they must already be defined in the configuration file of the logger (.ccmc) and assigned to a data set. In addition, the tool jobs to start and stop the recordings require a trigger. To set this up in the configuration file, the following steps are necessary:

1. Create a new script and insert the following:

   int trigger_taster;
   
   ON EVENT HID_KEY (HID_KEY_TRIGGER, HID_KEY_EVENT_PRESS, 0) {
       trigger_taster=1;
   }
   ON EVENT HID_KEY (HID_KEY_TRIGGER, HID_KEY_EVENT_RELEASE, 0) {
       trigger_taster=0;
   }
   
   SIGNAL 'Trigger_Taster' (10, trigger_taster);
   

2. Create a new standard trigger and enter "Trigger_Taster" = 1 as the trigger formula

3. Create a second standard trigger and enter "Trigger_Taster" = 0 as the trigger formula

4. Make the following settings in the Generate tab of the dataset to be recorded:

   • Select Pause is inverted start as Mode

   • Select the first previously created trigger as Start-trigger

   • Select At shutdown and trigger as Completion-condition

   • Select the second previously created trigger as Trigger

Authentication method	SSH Connection to ETHOS logger	Keyfile	[None, Password, Keyfile] Display values: None: Without authentication Password: Password Keyfile: Private key file	string	Method used to log into the remote system.
SSH key path	SSH Connection to ETHOS logger » Authentication method: ‘Keyfile’			string	Path to the SSH private key for public key authentication. Can be specified absolute or relative to the tool host base path. If no tool host base path is set, the path can be relative to the workspace. Supported key formats: RSA, DSA, ECDSA and ED25519
