55% working time saved
Calibration engineers save 55% working time per year, that is 222 to 122 hours per year.

2/3 more efficient
Browsing specifications is 2/3 more efficient, as Honda developers prove.

Applied in relevant safety processes
Successfully implemented and qualified in many safety-critical processes in accordance with ISO26262.

Solve everyday calibration and application problems

1. Graphical display of interdependencies among ECU functions. Additional links are mapped showing the dependencies across systems and subsystems.

2. Use the intelligent quick search and the navigation history feature to move back and forth between start and end point flexibly.

3. Interactive, graphical display of ASCET, MATLAB®/Simulink® and C code models. Direct interaction with ETAS INCA.

Trusted and highly valued by customers in leading companies
