    Abstract: A configuration system of a test device designed for testing an electronic control unit. The test device is a hardware-in-the-loop simulator or a rapid control prototyping simulator. A software model of a technical system is executed on the test device and the software model communicates via an input/output interface of the test device with a device connected to the test device. Data is electronically transmitted by the communication, wherein the configuration system has a plurality of configuration items. The configuration items are assigned technical functional properties of the test device and the test device and/or the communication between the connected device and the software model is configured using the technical functional properties. The configuration items are assigned a functional category and are structured in functional panels in the configuration system.

    Abstract: A method for generating production code from a block diagram on a host computer is provided. A block in the block diagram has a number of input ports for receiving signals and a number of output ports for sending signals. The processor identifies a first block in the block diagram. The input signal is traced back to a second block upstream of the first block. Compliance with a optimization condition is checked, the optimization condition being fulfilled when a group of adjacent blocks has an assignment operation that affects one or more elements of the input signal while leaving at least one element of the composite variable unchanged. A combined production code is generated for the group of adjacent blocks when the optimization condition is fulfilled so that the combined production code includes write instructions for those elements of the composite variable that are affected by the assignment operation.

    Abstract: A method for creating a model of a technical system, is provided, the model being compatible with a simulation device. The simulation device is a simulation device set up for control unit development and the compatible model is executable on the simulation device. The method includes: providing a simulation-device-incompatible model of the technical system; providing a virtual execution environment, wherein the simulation-device-incompatible model of the technical system is executable in the virtual execution environment; and encapsulating the simulation-device-incompatible model of the technical system and the virtual execution environment in a compatible container unit forming the compatible model of the technical system. The incompatible model of the technical system can be addressable via the compatible container unit and the virtual execution environment on simulation device.

    Abstract: In a method for changing a configuration of a programmable logic module, an initial configuration of the programmable logic module is read in, with a result that a logic description, in particular a mapped netlist, of the initial configuration is at least partially available. One or more logic elements and/or connection elements from the logic description of the initial configuration of the programmable logic module are replaced or reconfigured and a logic description of a target configuration having one or more additional logic elements are created, none or a plurality of elements of the initial configuration being missing in the target configuration. Assignment information is used to determine transfer points, that is to say logic elements present in the target configuration and the initial configuration, in particular registers, and/or connection elements, to which a changed logic function is applied in the target configuration, at least the logic elements of the programmable logic module which are already unused in the initial configuration being marked as free, and the additional logic elements of the target configuration being placed on the logic elements marked as free and being connected to the transfer points via unused connection elements. A changed bit stream is created from the logic description of the target configuration, and the changed bit stream is written to the programmable logic module.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for comparing block diagrams, the block diagrams describing a temporal evolution and/or internal states of a dynamic system in a technical computing environment on a host computer, wherein a block in the block diagram may comprise input ports for receiving signals and output ports for sending signals. The method includes opening a first block diagram, converting the first block diagram to an intermediate form, the conversion comprising filtering using a filter script, opening a second block diagram, converting the second block diagram to an intermediate form, the conversion comprising filtering using a filter script, determining existing differences between the intermediate form of the first block diagram and the intermediate form of the second block diagram, and outputting the determined differences. Also, a non-transitory computer readable media and computer system is provided.

    Abstract: A method for configuring a tester equipped for testing an electronic control unit, wherein a software model of a technical system is executed on the tester and communicates electronically through an input/output interface of the tester with a device connected to the tester. A configuration system is coupled to a modeling system, and a software model characterized by function blocks that are connected to one another is present in the modeling system. The tester is configured in the configuration system by interconnected configuration elements such that physical characteristics of the input/output interface and/or the connection of the input/output interface with the software model are defined via the configuration elements. The configuration system is coupled to the modeling system such that the software model is provided to the configuration system via a coupling interface at the run time of the modeling system.
