NAMING CONCEPT

By decision of the ITS top management the SPMTdeveloped a new concept for the AVL software Suite.This includes a naming concept as well as definition of

the life cycle of the Suite. This concept was agreed onMay 5th 2009 and is valid from this date.

The naming concept takes several boundary conditionsinto account defined by the messages that shall betransported:

Make it easy for customers to know which productsfit together

Keep value of product brands

Emphasize system approach

The name for the IndiCom version that will be releasedin October 2009 will be

AVL IndiCom 2010

CHANNEL BROWSER

Channel Filter Set

Allows users to assign channel filter criteria to a set of filters and save themunder a definable name. The defined channel filter sets can be activatedquickly via the channel filter list

Data Point Filter

Via the Data Point Filter option in a datasets context menu you can filterout the data points from a long measurement that are relevant for anevaluation. This function is useful e.g. in cases where the measurementhas several curves which then need to be evaluated individually. You cannow define a filter for the data key that returns only those records from all

channels in which the value of the curve channel is 1. Data point filters areare ideally suited for control channels which contain the relevant curvenumbers (or phase, mode, cycle, etc.). It is then possible to filter by thesedata points.

Dataset Display

Datasets which are shown in any form in the current diagram window are

now marked in Channel Browser by the corresponding formatting.Modifying Graphics Attributes

Via the context auto toolbar of Channel Browser you can modify thegraphics attributes in one step in all tests and across the entire layout.Changes made at the file/test level will affect all displayed datasets of theselected test, at the channel/dataset level these will affect all displayed

datasets of the same name.

RAW DATA STREAMING

Raw Data Streaming is now available both on

a time and angle basis . This allows users toalso measure the time data in Streamingmode.

Benefits:

Parallel streaming of time- andcrankanglebased raw data

enables to perform realtime calculationof results on the PC (SoftRTP)

save time because on measurementcompletion all data have already beentransferred to the PC

new measurement solutions to recordall the necessary information

COLD START MEASUREMENT

In this mode, normal angle-based parameters areautomatically converted internally into time values andmeasured. This way all signals involved in the cold start

process are available as time-based data which are thenalso converted into an angle-based IFile. During themeasurement, the time-based signals are plotted overangle base using a fast macro.

Benefits:

Measurement of effects happening already before firstengine rotation (e.g. battery voltage drop)

Data file with time- and crank angle based informationof all measured channels

No need of complicated time to crank angleconversion after the measurement

Online display of raw data and calculation results forfast engine start evaluation

SIMULTANEOUS EVENT RECORDING

In this mode, if the Normal measurement mode isselected, a measurement can be saved to aseparate file after an event has occurred. This has

the advantage that the event measurement takesplace regardless of normal test bed operation.Simultaneous measurements (single-, snapshot-or PUMA measurements) are not affected by this.

Benefits:

Execution of two measurement at the sametime

Generation of separate measurement file foreasy data access

Capturing of events on cyclic basis evenduring averaged measurements takes place

Event 1 Event 2 Event 3

SNAPSHOT MEASUREMENT

In order to record events that occur suddenly, thiscan now also be triggered very simply by pressing thespace bar. This measurement is possible in all

measuring variants with Streaming and Monitoringand is independent of other measurements. Aseparate file (BackgroundFile) is created with adefinable name and path.

Benefits:

Capture of events even without defining anevent in the parameters

Measurement of unpredictable events

No disturbance of ongoing measurements

Easy data handling by saving a separate file

MEASUREMENTS TRIGGERED VIA HARDWARE

For special applications in test bed operation ameasurement can be started via an externalsignal (e.g. via Digital In ). This enables users to

save data in sync with such an external signal.As of PUMA Open 2010 it is possible to performreal-time measurements using the function Bit-controlled measurement series .

Benefits:

Triggering a measurement via externalsurface feeler (e.g. two wheelerapplication)

Triggering of measurements via externalBits for synchronization of differentmeasurement systemsSupport for Puma 2010 real timemeasurement

SENSOR ADMIN

The additional program Sensor Admin can be calledvia the Utilities option in the workflow bar.

Sensor Admin serves for sensor administration in anAccess database. When setting the parameters forthe amplifiers in IndiCom you can take over the

respective sensors calibration data automaticallyfrom this database.

With Sensor Admin you can add new sensors,delete old ones, make required adjustments anddisplay the sensitivity of the individual calibrations

over time as a trend.

DATA COMPRESSION

IFiles can now be compressed automatically(xxx.zip). For this purpose, the Compress file(zip) check box under General tab underExtras | Pre-Sets Data Storage has to beactivated.

INCA INTERFACE

IndiCom 2010 is fully integrated into thecalibration software INCA. The OpenHardware Interface (OHI) from ETAS is usedto communicate between IndiCom & INCA.

Benefits:

Measurement control from INCA

Data exchange from IndiCom to INCA

Synchronization of time based INCA data& crank angle based IndiCom data

Usage of IndiCom for thermodynamiconline calulation of indicating parameters

Advanced data post processing inConcerto (MDF & IFile)

Fast data check in IndiView (substitute ofMDA)

ENHANCEMENTS

Copy Object Attributes

The toolbar button Format Brush can be used to apply objectattributes (color, line width, line type, marker, label, font) of a

given object to other objects of the same type. If the userselects a target object by right-click, a context menu will openshowing a selection of the attributes to be copied. If the targetobject is selected by left-clicking it, all attributes will be copied.

Scale Range Property "Interval Rounded

The functionality Interval Rounded was reactivated for thescale range settings. By deactivating this setting it is nowpossible to define an exact scale range without causing the gridspacing to be rounded.

Extensions to CA Processor / 4CA1 CA calculator

The Double Gap Mode allows users to use double-gap disks.The Delay Compensation for Inductive Sensors function canbe used to compensate for the speed-dependent delay ofinductive sensors.
