MCE-PC
Note |
The configuration of the MCE-PC is possible only if the INCA-MCE and INCA-MCE-RT add-on was also installed. |
The Indirect ECU Access calibration method uses the MCE-PC device as additional hardware to overcome performance limitations.
Preconfiguring the MCE-PC
The Indirect ECU Access device must be preconfigured to ensure that the relevant necessary information from the A2L file of the ASAM MCD 2MC ECU is available for real-time operation. To perform this preconfiguration, you must select the required measurement and calibration variables.
There are two ways possible:
Use all measurements of the INCA Experiment.
Allow the test bench software to select variables via iLinkRT V3.
It is also possible to combine both methods.
Measuring and Calibrating with INCA
During the measurement and calibration phase, the MCE-PC device continuously collects the ECU values to be measured and forwards these directly to the test bench via the iLinkRT V3 protocol. Any calibration performed via iLinkRT V3 is promptly displayed in the INCA experiment. This ensures that the test bench engineer always has an up-to-date view of the ECU's current state.
INCA supports only one MCE-PC at a time.
Module parameters
Parameters tabNameEnter any name for the system.
Serial numberShows the serial number read from the device.
If the hardware is not connected or if it was not found during the hardware search, enter the complete number by hand (it can be found on the device).
The serial number must be entered as it is needed by INCA to identify the device. The serial number is stored in the hardware configuration.
Alias nameEnter an internal name of the device. It is stored in the device like the serial number and helps you to distinguish between devices of the same type. By assigning a unique name which expresses the role of the device, it can be used more conveniently than the serial number, especially when you link the devices in the Hardware Mapping dialog box. The alias name is used, for example, if you switch between different vehicles when measuring with the laptop or if you have installed different devices of the same type in the vehicle.
Firmware versionShows the firmware version of the connected hardware module.
IP addressDefines if INCA checks or ignores the specified IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6).
Ignored | Packets pass the packet capture filter even if the property does not match. This is the default value. |
Checked | Packets are checked and filtered. INCA uses the AUTOSAR parameters to filter the frames. |
INCA hardware communicationShows the hardware connection between the hardware and the PC.
