Softing OTX.studio – Development Environment for Vehicle Diagnostics
Development of Complex Diagnostic Sequences According to the Standard ISO 13209.
Softing OTX.studio is a development environment for creating, implementing and debugging of complex diagnostic sequences. You can conveniently create graphical user interfaces and link them to the sequences created.
Areas of Application
- Graphic specification of diagnostic sequences
- Creation of test sequences in ECU development
- Creation of test sequences for EOL tester in Manufacturing
- Guided fault diagnosis for repair shop testers
Advantages
- Easy exchange of sequences between ECU, system and vehicle manufacturers
- Diagnostic data is supported in compliance with ODX 2.0.1 as well as 2.2.0
- User oriented editor concepts: Line oriented, Flow Chart or modular “Comfort Mode”
- Can be implemented universally as maximum OTX function scope available
- Long-term protection of investments due to use of an international standard
- Expertise protection and prevention of unauthorized changes by saving OTX scripts in binary format
Overview
Specifying and Implementing Diagnostic Sequences
The new OTX (Open Test sequence eXchange) standard compliant with ISO 13209 enables users to describe diagnostic sequences from basic function tests up to complete tester applications. OTX Studio provides support in the early specification phase as well as in downstream implementation. The tool makes it easy to create graphic diagrams with a clear representation of the sequence logic. The integrated OTX Differ allows easy comparing and merging of sequences in different development stages.
Suitable for Both First-Time Users and Experienced Developers
OTX Studio provides all the necessary input assistants which guide the user when learning to use the product. IntelliSense allows users to create sequences without having in-depth knowledge of the OTX language elements. Comprehensive project administration with integrated version management for subversions ensures structured overviews even in large projects. The library concept that many users are familiar with from standard programming languages supports users in the modular creation of their diagnostic OTX sequences.
From Flash Sequence to Repair Shop Tester
Typical areas of application are, for example, the creation of flash or test sequences. Particularly test planners for complete repair shop testers benefit from the variety of integrated tools. The GUI editor allows the designing of the entire test interface as well as the simple connection of the GUI elements to the corresponding OTX script variables. OTX function libraries can be defined to allow reuse of generic OTX procedures. There is no limitation to the number of these libraries. Program developers for guided fault diagnosis on the vehicle use the foreign language editor, the document viewer and browser for repair instructions and technical drawings. The full debugging possibilities are indispensable for all users.
