ConfigurationDesk^®

ConfigurationDesk is an intuitive, graphical configuration and implementation tool. It is ideal for handling HIL real-time applications based on dSPACE SCALEXIO hardware, and for implementing the behavior model and the I/O function code on dSPACE SCALEXIO hardware. ConfigurationDesk displays user-defined views of the signal path between the ECU/load pins and the behavior model interfaces. You can define and document external devices such as ECUs and loads, including their signal properties (descriptions, electrical properties, failure simulation settings, load settings).

 

With ConfigurationDesk, it is easy to implement the behavior model code (from MATLAB/Simulink/Simulink Coder™) and the I/O function code (from ConfigurationDesk) on dSPACE SCALEXIO hardware. The complete build process for a real-time application is handled by ConfigurationDesk. Comprehensive documentation options and graphical displays give you great project transparency, especially in large-scale HIL projects. You can assemble and configure the hardware required for a specific project offline as a "virtual system", in other words, as a purely software-based configuration. A real-time application can be executed for test runs even if parts of the necessary (and configured) I/O hardware are not physically available. In addition, you can generate a Microsoft^® Excel^® file with information on the cable harness and on external devices.

 

There is a special ConfigurationDesk version available for configuring the dSPACE RapidPro hardware. This configuration version supports in configuring your RapidPro hardware and wiring it to sensors and actuators, and enables you to monitor the hardware states during operation.
