Systematic Testing - Modern Solutions for Hardware-in-the-Loop-Simulation

Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is establishing itself as a milestone within automotive electronics development processes. HIL systems and the products used for them must be more rigorously tailored to concrete applications and to solving automotive problems. The main focus is on fast and simple configuration of complex I/O functions, efficient use of functions and interfaces for automation, and the flexibility and scalability of both individual simulators and simulator networks. This paper describes how dSPACE is meeting this challenge with modern HIL concepts such as dSPACE Simulator.
