The basis of designing real-time systems is the analysis of the schedulability. Systems using a real-time operating system like the OSEK/VDX operating system consist of tasks and interrupt service routines. The schedulabilty analysis shows that no task and no interrupt service routine miss its deadline in any situation.
Features and Advantages:
The Timing Analyzer allows the simulation of schedule tables and the calculation of the schedulability. The analysis is performed based on the information priority, period, execution time and deadline for each task and ISR. Several algorithms known from the theory of schedulability analysis can be selected. The best fitting algorithm for a given set of information is selected automatically by default.
Using the Timing Analyzer the difficult and time-consuming determination of the worst case timing situation by testing can be avoided. Thus the software developer obtains a tool to integrate known software components together to a run able system. Due to saving of time during the program development and the test phase also costs are reduced.
Fields of Applications:
The Timing Analyzer is an efficient tool for all development departments where real-time operating systems are used. Special care has been taken to support OSEK/VDX operating systems and their applications.
