Port APPLICATION - DEFAULT¶

Stimulation¶

This port has no stimulus capabilities.

Specifics¶

Initial Setup

The Device name as shown in VISION must always be set. It is recommended to set the Strategy and Calibration name to enable ecu.test to get the available signals directly from the tool. Please make sure to enter just the name without file extensions. The strategy has to be already available in VISION (it is not imported) and assigned to the specified device. Also the calibration already needs to be present in VISION and assigned to the specified strategy.

If calibration and strategy are set, just create a device without assigning a2l and hex files in the test configuration on the Control units tab.

Properties 🛈¶

Name	Default value	Valid values	Type	Description
Device name			string	Name of access interface
Online state check	‘Do not check’	[‘At the beginning of the test case’, ‘Before each read test step’, ‘Do not check’]	string	Determines whether the online-state of the configured device will be checked.
Deactivate auto-sync	☑		bool	Determines whether the automatic synchronization of the configured device will be deactivated.
Deactivate calibration auto-sync	☐		bool	Determines whether the automatic synchronization of the configured device will be deactivated.
Activate quick-load	☐		bool	Determines whether the option quick-load of the configured device will be activated.
Strategy			string	Name of the Strategy to be used by the control unit. Must be assigned to the Device in VISION.
Calibration			string	Name of the Calibration to be used by the control unit. Must be assigned to the Strategy in VISION.
Activate online query	☑		bool	If activated, all calibration and measurement variables are queried from VISION. The A2L file specified in the TCF will be ignored. If deactivated, the A2L file specified in the TCF will be used. Please make sure it is consistent to the Strategy and Calibration.
Default acquisition rate	‘Tool-Default’		string	Declaration of measurement acquisition rate used as alternative in case no acquisition rate is set in the test step (”*” and “?” can be used as wildcard). “Tool-Default” activates the use of the default acquisition rate of the tool
