VX1000 Measurement & Calibration Hardware
The VX1000 System is a scalable solution with top performance for your ECU measurement and calibration tasks. It can be used in the vehicle – both in the cabin and in the engine compartment – on test benches and in the laboratory. Especially when developing ADAS ECUs, this allows you to control raw data captured by high-resolution radar sensors in combination with XCP data, e.g. object/tracking lists. The system forms the interface between the ECU and a measurement and calibration tool such as CANape. For high data throughput with minimal impact on ECU run-time, data is accessed over the microcontroller-specific data trace and debug ports.
The VX1000 Base Module is connected to the PC over XCP on Ethernet, an OEM-independent ASAM standard that is widely used in the automotive industry. The VX1000 measurement hardware is connected to the ECU via a POD (Plug-On device). Depending on the available microcontroller interface, either the data trace or a copying method can be used to acquire measurement data.

POD
PODs are small, high-performance circuit boards which are connected directly to microcontroller interfaces in the control unit. Due to their small size and high robustness, they are also designed for use in tight and demanding installation situations. Depending on the target microcontroller, different variants and configurations are available.
