Automated Tests in Real Time (AutomationDesk)

Real-time, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation on special processor boards has become a standard for testing mechatronic electronic control units (ECUs). Harnessing the full potential of the simulator hardware requires powerful tool automation, however. AutomationDesk is a test automation and test management tool that meets this need. You can create tests either graphically or via script programming and run them on a PC. From AutomationDesk 1.4, Python scripts can run on the DS1006 Processor Board in real time, i.e., synchronously with the model, independently of the PC. This means you can implement tests with tough requirements regarding timing accuracy and reactivity.
