Module Parameters for LIN Monitoring

Enter any name for the hardware module.

Specifies how the system should react if the connection between INCA and the hardware module is interrupted at measuring start or during measurement.

• Abort after failure

  The measurement using this hardware module will be terminated in any case of measurement failure (at measuring start or during measurement). The system does not try to reinitialize the hardware module. After the connection has been interrupted, you have to reinitialize manually.

  This option is appropriate when, e.g., the measured values are not essential for the experiment, as the module will be ignored after any failure. This option is the default.

• Abort at start, try again later

  INCA stops measurement of this module in case of failure at measuring start, assuming the module is disconnected or has any systematic problem.

  It continues to try measurement in case of failure during the measurement assuming the failure is temporal and can be resolved via retries.

• Retry always

  INCA continues to try measurement of this module in any case of measurement failure (at measuring start or during measurement).

  This option is useful if you want to conduct quick start or cold start measurements.

Shows the name of the LIN description file used (LDF file).

To select a different description file:

• In the Value column, double-click the field next to Project.

  or

• In the Device menu, select Change project/working data.

Determines whether you can select the data of each frame separately in INCA without interpreting them as signals:

• Yes

  In the variable selection dialog, you can select the raw data of separate frames all separately. These are represented by 64 virtual variables. Each frame consists of a header area and a response, whereas INCA shows only the response as a byte array of 8 bytes.

• No

  It is not possible to select single frames.

Shows the used LIN version.

The LIN version is defined in the LDF file. You cannot edit this field.

Shows the LIN data transmission rate in kBaud.

The transmission rate is defined in the LDF file. You cannot edit this field.

The LDF file contains a block Node_composition_definition with one or more configurations. The configurations define which LDF nodes will be used.

This parameter determines which of the configurations defined in the LDF file will be used for LIN Monitoring. If the LDF file does not contain configuration variants, the string -- gets displayed.

The LDF file specifies that the frame assigned to this frame ID can be changed over the time.

Select the frame which is to be used for signal decoding.

The selection is valid for the time from the measurement start to the next assignment of a frame by the LIN master. If this field is empty, no signal data get measured for this frame ID until the LIN master assigns a frame.
