ControlDesk Next Generation

Universal experiment software for electronic control unit (ECU) development

Universal, modular experiment and instrumentation software for ECU development Integrated ECU calibration, measurement and diagnostics access (CCP, XCP, ODX) Synchronized data capture across ECUs, RCP and HIL platforms, and bus systems Powerful layouting, measurement and post-processing

Application Areas

ControlDesk Next Generation is the dSPACE experiment software for seamless ECU development. It performs all the necessary tasks and gives you a single working environment, from the start of experimentation right to the end. These are some of the tasks it can be used for:

• Rapid control prototyping (fullpass, bypass)
• Hardware-in-the-loop simulation
• ECU measurement, calibration, and diagnostics
• Access to bus systems (CAN, LIN, FlexRay)
• Access to PC offline simulation¹⁾ 

Key Benefits

ControlDesk Next Generation unites functionalities that used to be covered by several specialized tools. It provides access to simulation platforms and connected bus systems, and can perform measurement, calibration and diagnostics on ECUs, for example, via standardized ASAM interfaces. Its flexible, modular structure provides high scalability to meet the requirements of specific application cases. This gives you clear advantages in terms of handling, the amount of training needed, the required computing power, and costs.

* Availability planned for dSPACE Release 7.0.
¹⁾  ControlDesk Next Generation can access (via XCP on Ethernet) virtual ECUs generated with SystemDesk and Simulink plant models that are simulated offline on the PC. For more details on PC offline simulation with ControlDesk Next Generation, please contact dSPACE
