ControlDesk
Universal modular experiment and instrumentation software for electronic control unit (ECU) development
ControlDesk is the dSPACE experiment software for seamless ECU development. It performs all the necessary tasks and gives you a single working environment, from the start of experimentation right to the end.

ControlDesk 22.2
New cost-effective product version focused on working with bus systems: the Bus Navigator (stand-alone).

Last Cross Test Demonstrated Good Interoperability
The interoperability of ASAM XIL API-compliant products, such as ControlDesk, is checked on a regular basis. For this purpose, major vendors of development tools for automotive applications meet with dSPACE regularly to carry out so-called cross tests on their products. During these tests, they connect their test tools to third-party test benches to evaluate if their test software is able to communicate with test hardware from other manufacturers without issues.

New ways for cost-effective mild hybrids
Continental’s new belt-driven starter generator uses not only the 48 V vehicle electrical system but also an asynchronous machine as the electric motor and generator – a novelty. dSPACE’s flexible HIL test systems spur the development of the mild hybrid ECU. -
Electric wedge clutch for smoother shifts
Previous attempts at wedge clutches in automatic transmissions often failed because of unpleasant shift jerking. Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University are working on solving this problem through a precisely controlled electric motor. The validation is based on hardware and software tools by dSPACE.

Efficient tests for commercial vehicle ECU variants
For commercial vehicles, diversity is a standard. Scania has a nearly endless selection of vehicle types and modular vehicle configurations. And the generic electronic control unit (ECU) system has just as many variants. In a new test lab, Scania shows how this system can be validated with reliability.
- Integrated ECU calibration, measurement and diagnostics access
(CCP, XCP, ODX) - Synchronized data capture across ECUs, RCP and HIL platforms, and bus systems
- Powerful layouting, instrumentation, measurement and post-processing (ASAM MDF)
- Support for the entire dSPACE virtual validation tool chain

Application Areas
ControlDesk can be used for tasks like these:
- Rapid control prototyping (RCP; fullpass, bypass)
- Hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HIL)
- ECU measurement, calibration, and diagnostics
- Access to vehicle bus systems (CAN, CAN FD, LIN, Ethernet)
- Virtual validation with VEOS and SCALEXIO
Key Benefits
ControlDesk unites functionalities that often require several specialized tools. It provides access to simulation platforms as well as to connected bus systems and can perform measurement, calibration and diagnostics on ECUs, e.g., via standardized ASAM interfaces.
Its flexible modular structure provides high scalability to meet the requirements of specific application cases. This gives you clear advantages in terms of handling, the amount of training needed, the required computing power, and costs.
