INCA – Measurement and Calibration

You wish to calibrate in the vehicle with INCA. Due to your experience of calibration, the emphasis of this course is on the “hands-on”-operation of INCA.

The practical operation of the INCA software and the knowledge of the INCA database are important for you.

You will learn about the connection between software and hardware.

• Two page concept, division in program and data.
• ASAM MCD 2 MC and *.hex files.
• Different type of ECU access: CAN vs ETK.
• Overview of the ETAS hardware modules.
• Connection and configuration of measurement modules (e.g. ES4xx).

You will become familiar with the INCA database through practical exercises.

• Opening of the database and construction of the database structure.
• Introduction to Prof configuration.
• Explanation of the database items Workspace, Project, and Experiment.
• Creation of new projects in the INCA database.
• Coupling of the workspace with a project and data sets.
• Exporting and importing of database items.
• INCA User Options overview.
• CAN Monitoring and CAN Transmit functionality.

You can adapt the measurement and calibration environment to your preference.

• Variable selection and allocation of the measuring sample rate.
• Measurement of additional calculated signals.
• Variables displayed in various windows (configuration of variables).
• Saving (and write protection) of the experiment environment.

You will carry out measurement and calibration tasks and save the data sets.

• Matching of data sets between PC and ECU/ETK (download, upload, flashing).
• Recording of measurement variables in measure files and trigger definition.
• Calibration of parameters, maps, and curves.
• Saving and write protection of data sets.
• Creation of *.hex-files.

Calibration data sets are managed with the Calibration Data Manager (CDM).

• Documentation of the data sets.
• Comparison and merge of calibration data.
• Creation of exchange formats (DCM and CVX files).

The measure files are evaluated with the Measure Data Analyzer (MDA).
You will learn the concepts of drive recorders and lambda meters.

Requirements:

• Knowledge of PCs and MS Windows®, knowledge of ECU calibration concepts.
