Port MODELACCESS - DEFAULT 🛈¶

XIL-API-MAPort

Stimulation¶

Restrictions:

Trace files being referenced by a DataFileSegment in an STI file are not converted automatically by ecu.test.
It is up to the user to check whether the trace format being used is supported by the tool.

Supported execution modes¶

Preferred time source/mode: Real-time

Real-time:: To use real-time mode, the Test configuration in the Execution tab must be configured as the source ‘real time’.
Stepwise simulation time:: To use the stepwise simulation mode, the port in the Test configuration in the Execution tab must be selected and the mode set to ‘stepwise’. Wait-until-true expressions are evaluated - if possible - by the tool. If the tool cannot evaluate them, the evaluation will be done by ecu.test. This can lead to lower performance. Invalid expressions are only noted in the log if the log level is set to “Maximum”.
Continuous simulation time:: To use the continuous simulation mode, the port in the Test configuration in the Execution tab must be selected and the mode set to ‘continuous’.

Properties 🛈¶

Name	Available if	Default value	Valid values	Type	Description
Configuration file				string	Path to the configuration file of the MAPort. Path has to be either absolute, or relative to the model directory. If <auto>, the configuration file the TCF references to will be used.
Support for online model querying		☑		bool	(De-)Activates the interface for online querying of model information by the test configuration
Overwrite configuration parameters		‘<none>’		string	Allows the port configuration parameters in the specified configuration file to be overwritten. The parameter paths, including the new values, must be specified in a JSON format, e.g. ‘{“sample.path”: value}’. The parameter paths to be overwritten must already be defined in the port configuration file.
Separator in model paths		‘/’	[‘/’, ‘.’]	string	Specifies the separator used in model paths. With it, model variables are visually grouped e.g. within the model tab.
Replace current configuration		☐		bool	“True” replaces the current configuration with the selected one. Otherwise the running configuration will be used.
Start simulation		‘start’	[‘start’, ‘test start’, ‘no start’] Display values: ‘start’: ‘Start’ ‘test start’: ‘On start of test’ ‘no start’: ‘Do not start’	string	Specifies when the simulation is started. “Start”: The simulation is started when the configuration starts. “On start of test”: The simulation is started when the execution of a test case starts. “Do not start”: The simulation will not be started. The resulting port state depends on the “Replace current configuration” setting. An already running and simulating application will not be stopped.
Stop simulation		‘stop’	[‘stop’, ‘test stop’, ‘no stop’] Display values: ‘stop’: ‘Stop’ ‘test stop’: ‘At test stop’ ‘no stop’: ‘Do not stop’	string	Specifies when the simulation is stopped. “Stop”: The simulation is stopped when the configuration stops. “At test stop”: The simulation is stopped when the execution of the test case stops. “Do not stop”: The simulation is not stopped implicitly.
Recording format		MF4	[CSV, MDF, MF4]	string	File format for recording
Delimiter	Recording format: ‘CSV’	‘;’	[‘;’, ‘,’]	string	Delimiter of CSV file
Recording down-sampling rate		<default>		int	This value can be specified to store only every N-th signal value. “<default>” means that the down-sampling rate is not specified and the vendor default is to be used.
Recording start timeout ❲s❳		30		int	Maximum allowed duration until the tool has actually started the capture after manually starting a capture.
Default recording acquisition rate		‘Tool-Default’		string	Recording acquisition rate to use as fallback, if no acquisition rate has been provided for the variable (”*” and “?” may be used as wildcards). “Tool-Default” uses the first available acquisition rate.
Enforce default recording acquisition rate		☐		bool	The default recording acquisition rate is enforced for all quantities when recording.
Model time refresh rate		0		float	Defines the interval (in seconds) at which the model time should be queried for synchronization with the test case. Value 0 causes a query after each simulation step.
Parameter files				string	A comma separated list of parameter files. The files will be transferred to the XIL server on start of configuration. Paths can be absolute or relative to the tool host base path.
Adapt matrix layout		☐		bool	Convert matrices from row layout (XIL) to column layout (ecu.test). In contrast to ASAM XIL, which implements the row layout for storing matrices, ecu.test uses the column layout. If this option is set, matrices are adapted to the internally implemented column layout when they are read in and before they are used in ecu.test. As a result, matrices are displayed correctly and indexing is done consistently according to the scheme [column][row]. If this option is not set, the missing adaptation of the layout causes that one works with the transposed matrix (see e.g. display in report). Thus, indexing the transposed matrix according to the above scheme in ecu.test is equivalent to indexing the (non-transposed) original matrix using the scheme [row][column] from the tool’s point of view. An unset option corresponds to the former behavior. It is recommended to set this for new test cases.
