AutomationDesk^®

The course covers the use of dSPACE platforms as well as a wide variety of tools to access the Failure Insertion Unit, calibration and diagnostic tools and MATLAB^®. It shows you how to work with custom libraries filled with self-defined generic test steps, test sequences and complete tests, and gives you hands-on experiences of the Test Framework Library with lots of internal functions for reporting, test evaluation and handling exceptions inside each test.
