Use Cases for dSPACE HIL Systems

The configuration examples show the typical ways in which dSPACE Simulator is used and the hardware and software components that are required. They cover test scenarios for single and networked ECUs, hybrid and electric drives, ECUs with integrated sensors, as well as simulation for instrument panels and FlexRay networks.
