Automation Desk: A Universal Tool for Creating & Managing Automation Tasks
Keywords:
Automation Desk, Python, Hardware in Loop, Engine Control, UnitAbstract
The increasing complexity of control software means that testing has to be automated. Control Desk can issue signals to the ECU under test when a test Engineer operates the panels, this could have been fine in a scenario where only one time testing is to be done, but in the Automotive world HIL is used for testing of the ECU’s under development, it calls for running the test cases several times and hence requires that the test mechanism should be repeatable. Automation Desk serves this major requirement.
