Master the feel

High-speed measurement for next-level steering performance

Calibrating modern steering-ECUs is a complex engineering challenge. Engineers must balance a multitude of performance parameters, from objective precision to subjective driver feel, all while considering the intricate interactions within the entire vehicle system. Addressing this requires a solution that can unify disparate data sources and streamline the entire measurement and calibration workflow.

Key challenges

Engineers optimizing steering behavior constantly navigate a complex set of trade-offs and technical hurdles.

Balancing competing targets

Juggle competing parameters like precision, directional stability, and ADAS integration.

Bridging subjective & objective data

Translate subjective driver "feel" into actionable, objective engineering parameters.

Holistic system tuning

Tune steering within the context of the entire vehicle system, including chassis and powertrain.

Managing multiple data streams

Synchronize data efficiently from numerous ECUs, vehicle buses, and external sensors.

Our integrated measurement and calibration (M&C) solution provides a single, cohesive platform to master the complexity of steering optimization. The workflow is centered around the INCA and MDA software, which handles data recording, visualization, analysis, and calibration in one environment.

Hardware modules like the ES8xx and ES59x series provide robust, high-speed access to the vehicle's CAN, FlexRay, or Automotive Ethernet buses via standard XCP and CCP protocols. For applications demanding higher data rates, the M-ETK and XETK interfaces offer direct, high-bandwidth ECU access. The system seamlessly integrates data from external sensors via dedicated measurement modules, ensuring all relevant information is captured in a time-synchronized manner.

Your benefits

Unified tool environment

Use a single M&C tool for all optimization tasks to simplify workflows and enable artifact reuse.

Synchronized multi-source measurement

Capture time-synchronized data simultaneously across multiple ECUs, buses, and sensors.

Extensive 3rd-party device support

Maintain flexibility by integrating a wide variety of third-party measurement devices.
