Hardware Menu
This menu contains the following functions:
ECU Calibration Access
Enables or prevents calibration access to the ECU.
This function must be enabled if you want to change calibration values in the ECU. A calibration privilege is not required for pure measurements.
Initialize Hardware
Initializes all hardware added to the current workspace.
The ECU has to be reset before initialization. If the ECU is running, switch off the ignition.
If the memory pages of the control device are not updated, the Memory pages device window opens.
Initializes Unconnected Devices
Initializes devices that are not yet connected.
Hardware Status
Opens the Hardware status window and displays the current status of all devices.
If the hardware is not yet initialized, it is initialized now.
Manage Memory Pages
Opens the Memory pages device window where you can view, compare and change the INCA datasets and memory pages in the ECU.
Switch Between Working/Reference Page
Toggles between displaying the values of the working page and the reference page.
Active Device Group
Specifies whether group calibration is activated or deactivated.
The group remains as a group even after you deactivate group calibration.
Send Cyclic Commands
Activates or deactivates the sending of cyclic XCP commands. If you deactivate the sending of cyclic commands for a device, cyclic commands for connection status and time synchronization are suppressed. The ECU goes into sleep mode without being interrupted by cyclic requests. You can still measure and calibrate, but the commands interrupt the sleep mode. In addition, COM API is supported.
ü<device> | Sending of cyclic commands for selected device is activated. |
<device> | Sending of cyclic commands for selected device is deactivated. |
Resume All | Sending of cyclic commands for all devices is resumed. |
Suppress All | Sending of cyclic commands for all devices is suppressed. |
Manage Store Bits
Note |
You can make these settings only if the application is run via a CCP interface that supports the respective functionality. |
Requests the control device to copy the working dataset to the reference dataset. The procedure usually takes places later (during the shutdown logic).
Check Firmware Status
Checks the firmware status of the connected hardware which is used by INCA.
Note |
Checking the firmware status with INCA requires HSP
V7.1.0 or later. Checking the firmware is possible only for hardware that is completely supported by HSP. |
Update Firmware
Opens the HSP Update Tool and checks whether the firmware of the connected ETAS hardware, which is referenced in the INCA hardware configuration, is compatible with the current INCA version. If the firmware needs to be updated, you can start the firmware update directly from within the HSP Update Tool.
Note |
This function requires HSP V7.1.0 or later. Checking the firmware status is possible only for hardware that is completely supported by HSP. |
Drive Recorder
Note |
Drive Recorder is only available if the ETAS Drive Recorder add-on is installed. |
This menu function provides three options to interact with the Drive Recorder:
Optimized Export... | Exports INCA configurations with reduced A2l file for the ETAS Drive Recorder. |
Export... | Exports INCA configurations for the ETAS Drive Recorder. |
Open Drive Recorder Configurator | Opens the ETAS Drive Recorder Configurator. |
