Background
Accurate Technologies Inc. (ATI) was founded over 20 years ago as a company that provides innovative solutions for the evolving needs in Electronic Control Unit development. ATI products reflect forward thinking and creative solutions for vehicle manufacturers, testers, calibrators, and suppliers allowing them to save time and money by working more efficiently.
ATI focuses on customer needs and quality products. Quality is insured through onsite ISO-9000 manufacturing at ATI’s world headquarters in Wixom, Michigan. Customer support is provided around the world with ATI subsidiary offices in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, France, and Japan. Distributors support other markets, including China, Korea, India, and Italy.
- Test Cell - The first ATI product, released in 1992, was the IGTM-1000 Timing Meter. This unique product provides precision data for engine testing by measuring ignition, camshaft or injector timing. While it remains a popular product today, other products like the SmartTach have joined the Test Cell Products family.
- ECU Calibration - In response to customer requests, in 1997 ATI developed VISION, an intuitive Windows-based calibration and data acquisition software. Revolutionizing the ECU calibration process, it was the first software to offer a Windows compliant easy-to-use interface. ATI continually listens to its diverse set of customers around the world, adding VISION enhancements to meet their increasingly complex needs while keeping the software easy to learn and use.
- ECU Interfaces - ATI developed the ROM2CAN memory emulator in 1997, as its first emulation interface to enhance the capabilities of the new VISION software. The M5 and M6 memory emulators followed, and were the first of their kind interfacing an ECU directly to a PC without any external hardware. As an ASAM member, ATI implemented CCP, XCP, A2L, ASAP3, and other ASAM standards as they evolved. At the forefront of the industry, ATI created the A6 high-speed serial ECU interface in 2004, followed by the A7 and A8 product families supporting faster serial-interface processors.
- Data Acquisition - DAQ has always been an integral part in ECU development. In 1998, the ATI EDAQ distributed data acquisition product family was released. This allowed users to place their equipment around the vehicle and closer to the measurement sources. The EMX product family introduced in 2009 provides unprecedented high-end data acquisition capability in an environmentally robust and cost competitive small package.
- Rapid Prototyping - ATI invented hook-less ECU rapid prototyping technology in 2001 which was also patented. ATI No-Hooks, using only ECU description and memory image files, allows users to override and adjust ECU RAM variables without the need for source code changes (“hooks”). Expanding on No-Hooks, ATI OnTarget provides functionality to run MathWorks Simulink® bypass models directly on production ECUs without any additional hardware or the need for ECU source code changes—completing the rapid prototyping cycle.
