Professional Calibration Data Management with vCDM

• Parameter can be assigned to classifications, i.e. Emission, Safety
• Classified parameters are highlighted in the editor, and changes are tracked
• Parameter checks for range, monotony, gradient and enveloping min/max values can be defined.
• API to include custom rules

• A new dataset management mode automatically extracts variant data per segment of ASAM variant-coded A2L files.
• The management of the variants occurs directly on the variant segments within one HEX file

• The intuitive calibration editor connects the local dataset management to calibration projects on the vCDM Server.
• Calibration projects become available on the local PC and can be easily compared with local calibration data, i.e. from files or other calibration tools, such as ETAS INCA.
• Local changes can be submitted to the vCDM server, and conflicting changes resolved.

• Harmonization of Parameter file import between vCDM, CANape Option vCDM and vCDMstudio
• Easy browsing for parameter change log events in vCDM and vCDMstudio
• Customizable configurations of structure and columns in the Project Explorer

• Calibration data management for test and simulation environments
• Use Simulink repositories as software descriptions (A2L)
• Seamlessly exchange calibration data from automotive formats DCM, CDF, and PAR in MATLAB formats

• vCDM Server supports MariaDB as database
• Reduced IT cost
• Simplified product evaluations

Tight IT resources & limited budget

In contrast to software for measurement and calibration of ECUs, a data management solution is not a single-user based solution. Besides the user access to the PC, vCDM also consists of a server and the database. Like any business solution, vCDM requires the support of the IT department for operation and maintenance. Although the IT effort is low, major challenges in the department often arise in the competition for limited IT resources. In many cases, the result is time delays and additional, high internal costs. Small companies and departments therefore often decide not to use calibration data management – in spite of the technical advantages.

The need for data management frequently emerges from the technical requirements in a project. In the classic software license model, the procurement costs for a data management solution must be paid from the project budget or the purchase must be prepared for well in advance in the budget planning. For this reason, the frequently large inefficiencies resulting from manual data management are accepted because the purchase of a calibration data management solution is not practical.

Vector supports you in the use of vCDM by offering a new “Software-as-a-Service” offer. In this case, Vector provides the necessary infrastructure (hardware, software, and database) that you can subscribe to on a project-related basis. All procurement and maintenance costs are thus eliminated. All services for operation (data backup, database maintenance, and many more) are included in the subscription costs. The annual subscription costs also include one software update including data migration so that the latest product features can always be used. Vector Support is available to answer your technical questions.
Your department can thus use a CDM solution quickly without effort and simultaneously has full cost transparency.

A high level of data security is guaranteed through many security measures (encryption, client separation, ISO 27001). Selected globally distributed computing centers ensure fast response times.

This Software-as-a-Service offer is available starting with vCDM Version 5.8 and CANape Version 15.0.

• No internal expenses for installation, operation and maintenance of vCDM server and database by experts of Vector
• High level of data security through client separation and ISO 27001 certification
• All costs for operation and maintenance of the server components are included in the subscription fee
• Fast provision of total solution
• Scaling of the server components (small, medium, large) according to your requirements
• Competent technical support during Vector service hours

Scope of services:

• User access via the vCDM client application (subscription or purchase)
• Annual software update (as of the 13th month)
• Minimum scope: 1 year subscription, 5 users
