DTS Monaco
DTS Monaco is a tool that, based on standards such as ODX and UDS, comprehensively covers all tasks in the areas of engineering, testing and preparation of manufacturing tests: diagnostics, analysis, OBD, flash programming, measuring, parameterizing and residual bus simulation.
Areas of Application
- Development of diagnostic and control functions for ECUs
- Function test and validation
- Integration and system test
- Preparation of test sequences for Manufacturing and Service
- Analysis of returns and Quality Assurance
Early Detection of Problems and Errors
DTS Monaco is part of the Diagnostic Tool Set product family and is based on the DTS Base System. Monaco stands for Modular Analyzer for Vehicle Communication.
It enables the interactive testing of diagnostic and control functions in the development of vehicle ECUs. This makes it possible to detect, and remedy, communication problems and function errors at an early stage. The functionality of several individual tools is now covered by a single tool.
Flexibly Adaptable to the Relevant Task
The GUI is intuitive to use and can be adapted to suit all kinds of tasks. The workspace is divided into two: one area with a fixed layout and one with layouts that you can toggle between using tabs. A status display below shows communication server messages. The various functions are realized using special, configurable interface elements. These HMIcontrols can be arranged freely in the layouts in configuration mode and can be fully configured. The entire workspace can be saved. Predefined templates are supplied for typical use scenarios. In run mode, a configured working area can be “started”, in other words enabled.
Ensuring Top Quality
Test sequences that can be automated make test results particularly easy to reproduce and enable very complex function tests. During validation, DTS Monaco also makes parameterizations possible that the ECU is not specified for. This means that not just good case but also bad case tests are possible at communication, data and function level. Communication data and test results can be saved as trace files or snapshots. Invalid responses from ECUs are detected and reported automatically, e.g. in the case of incorrect timing.
Benefits
- Reduced costs and shorter familiarization time as the functionality of several tools, previously separate, is covered
- Fast results thanks to intuitive operation and preconfigured templates
- Top quality thanks to early detection and remedy of communication problems and function errors
- Highly effective thanks to flexible adaptability to various tasks and the fact that communication data and test results can be fully documented
