All relevant information presented in a user-friendly way

EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR enables users to grasp functional dependencies and control logic by automatically calculating and highlighting these relationships in the model display. This feature makes it easier to navigate even the most complex software models.

A standout feature is the interactive, graphical representation of ASCET and MATLAB®/Simulink® models, which adapts the display layout for different model levels. It includes additional links to show dependencies across ASCET hierarchies and classes or of MATLAB®/Simulink® systems, and subsystems. This “function wallpaper” view allows users to seamlessly explore and understand the dependencies of distributed functions.

Users can create detailed “function wallpapers” using interactive models, providing a clear overview of various model levels. Connecting lines between model levels and highlighting dependencies enhance understanding. Additional information on measurement and characteristic variables can be displayed as needed.

The interface between EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR and INCA offers significant advantages for calibration engineers. It allows them to select measurement and characteristic variables directly from the documentation and insert them into INCA experiments. Important points of information such as measurement and characteristic variables or system constants are explicitly tagged in the documentation and separately highlighted in the search results.

Additionally, engineers can start and stop INCA measurements from within the documentation tool and view live values of measurement and characteristic variables at relevant points in the interactive documentation models. Thanks to the seamless interplay with INCA, errors can be efficiently identified even when function structures are highly branched.

The combined functionality of EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR and INCA enables rapid selection of measurement and characteristic variables and effective detection of calibration errors. The cross-functional display of signal flows, paired with live data visualization in INCA, provides a comprehensive view of functional relationships across the entire ECU software.
