Interface Solution with Integrated Real-time Functionality

The many different bus systems used in the development of electric/hybrid vehicles (EV/HEV) are pushing conventional hardware interfaces to their performance limits. A crucial factor in determining testing depth, analysis quality and simulation options is the degree of real-time performance in data exchange. Communication between vehicle networks and the test and simulation tools is of primary importance here. To satisfy these heightened requirements, Vector has added a modular high-performance interface with integrated real-time computer to its interfaces product line. This interface’s realtime performance leads to short deterministic cycle and response times and enables flexible use in the EV/HEV development field and in numerous new application areas.
