ETAS Logging network suite

The ETAS Logging network suite is a modular platform that enables broadband data acquisition and processing for ADAS/AD systems. It organizes the entire measurement network, managing multiple data sources (for example GETK-Px, (X)ETK, vehicle bus devices) and sinks (for example recorders, visualization). You can use the Logging network suite in vehicles, laboratories, or virtual environments.

Your benefits

User-friendly

Reduces system complexity through a holistic and modular solution approach.

Time-saving

Saves time and costs thanks to shorter and less frequent test drives.

Scalable

Provides future-oriented scalability and expandability.

Modular integration platform for data acquisition and processing

The infographic shows data sources and related software modules. — The ETAS Logging network suite is based on a service-orientated architecture that operates components independently – on a computer or on distributed hardware. Its modular structure allows you to scale the measurement network horizontally and vertically, and to connect any data sources and sinks.

The ETAS logging network suite at a glance

Orchestrating the measurement network

At the heart of the ETAS logging network suite you will find the manager, which is used to orchestrate the measurement network. This allows individual measurement paths to be distributed to the various data sources and sinks. You can also use the manager to configure all other components of the ETAS logging network suite.

Recording network and sensor data

On the software side, the recorders enable the recording of various Ethernet-based data sources, such as video streams, middleware data, XCP, and many more. Each data source is linked to a separate recorder service, which writes the incoming data on a high-performance SSD data memory. This results in high performance with write rates of more than 50 Gbps.

The recorders natively support various file formats such as ETAS GCF ("generic container format"), ASAM MDF, ASAM CMP, and PCAP. If required, the service can be expanded to integrate additional data sources and specific transfer protocols.

Analyzing and converting data

The interpreter accesses measurement data on SSD data storage devices and enables efficient online access to data during an ongoing measurement. The software graphically analyzes measurement data and makes it available in various representations.

The interpreter supports the file formats MDF4, Bytesoup, and ROS ("robot operating system") as a standard. Interfaces for converting any format are also available. The ROS2-based, open architecture guarantees easy integration into existing systems, ensuring a high level of compatibility and future-proofing.

Monitoring all components of the measurement network

The monitoring service monitors all components of the measurement network. This includes determining the health of the system and recording performance indicators. Metrics, logs, and traces are accessed in real time; the data is provided via standardized interfaces such as gNMI (gRPC network management interface).

With ETAS Logging network suite to an end-to-end ADAS Measurement solution

The ADAS Measurement solution from ETAS enables early development and continuity over development cycles with both software and hardware.

In combination with ETAS measurement adapters, the ETAS Logging network suite enables you to create a high-performance and modular recording solution. The ETAS measurement adapter GETK-P4 enables broadband access to middleware data from ADCU-internal microprocessors. The MHD 2.0 recording solution allows you to expand the system to include the parallel recording of multiple video streams. This also supports the reception and processing of XCP data streams and general Ethernet data sources.
