INCA Training – Measurement and Calibration Seminar

You have started working on automotive ECU software development and calibration. You wish to calibrate in the vehicle or on the test bed and wish to learn the functionality of INCA.

The introduction to calibration and the detailed operation of the software and the knowledge of the INCA database are important for you. Additionally, you are interested in advantages and disadvantages of various calibration concepts.

You will learn about the connection between software and hardware.

• Architecture and functionality of ETK and calibration devices (e.g. ES590, ES591).
• Two page concept, division in program and data.
• ASAM MCD 2 MC and *.hex files.
• Connection of additional hardware and configuration of the measurement channels.

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

• Opening of the database and construction of the database structure.
• 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.

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.

Measurement and calibration tasks will be carried out and the data sets will be saved.

• You will carry out measurement and calibration tasks and save the data sets.
• Matching of data sets between the PC and the ECU/ETK (Download, Upload, Flashing).
• Recording of measurement variables in measure files.
• 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 format (DCM and CVX files).

The measurement data files are evaluated with the Measure Data Analyzer (MDA). You will learn how INCA communicates with the test bed over the ASAM MCD 3 interface. You will also learn the usage of measurement modules along with INCA.

• Configuration of measurement modules (e.g. ES650).
• Introduction to ES4xx module series (e.g. ES410, ES411, ES420).
• Introduction to drive recorders and lambda meters (e.g. ES715, LA4).
