Tools and Services for ECU Calibration

ECU calibration is an iterative process of measurement and calibration at runtime to optimally tune the parameters of your ECU algorithms.

The complete Vector system solution of multifaceted and specialized hardware and software tools covers a broad range of your task areas: from measurement and calibration to diagnostics and flashing for a wide variety of ECU interfaces. These comprehensive solutions support you over the entire development process: from functional development to bypassing and rapid prototyping solutions and finally test bench applications and test drives in the pilot phase and production. A calibration data management system ensures efficient, process-conformant data management while preserving high data quality.

By using high-performance software and hardware solutions you – as an ECU manufacturer or automotive OEM – benefit from Vector’s many years of know-how in the measurement and calibration field.
