Calibration

The definition of calibration is the process of adjusting pre-determined variables to achieve performance requirements during test and development. No-Hooks provides the expanded flexibility for situations where variables are not available, ranges are too limited or algorithm issues prevent effective calibration. If ECU algorithms do not function as expected, those conducting the test can use No-Hooks to change the variables or functions to experiment and pre-determine possible solutions. With the freedom to suggest solutions, team members can suggest solutions without extra costs of codes changes.

Use No-Hooks to perform repeatable testing or robot driving. During calibration and testing of ECU control systems, it is often important to be able to repeat a test condition or a throttle profile. This way, as an algorithm is developed or calibrated, it is easy to compare the improvement against a known set of input conditions. With No-Hooks and VISION Scripting you can record the vehicle pedal input for a given test and then feed the recorded pedal position data back into the pedal position RAM variable in the ECU to repeat the same test. This use of No-Hooks performs the function of a robot driver that controls the throttle pedal without any additional hardware.
