The DS6101 comprises a large variety of I/O functions needed for hardware-in-the-loop simulation and can be used for generating and measuring typical automotive signals. This makes the DS6101 ideally suited for applications with extensive I/O requirements. For failure simulation, you can connect additional hardware to your system. The same holds true for bus communication. There you can use the DS2671 Bus Board  or the DS6301 CAN/LIN Board.
