PRODIS.Authoring

DT2

PRODIS.Authoring is a comprehensive system for the creation and maintenance of diagnostic data (e.g. ODX-compliant data) and test sequences (e.g. based on PRODIS.MCD, the ASAM MCD-3D implementation of DSA).

Application areas lie within the complete diagnostic process chain, covering ECU specification and acceptance as well as after-sales oriented tasks.

Strengths of PRODIS.Authoring are the multi-user collaboration support through an integrated version management system, the fine-grained variant management, the standard compliance and the efficient handling of test cycles through the integrated graphical debugger and simulator.

The diagnostic applications and data authored are executed seamlessly by the diagnostic runtime system PRODIS.RTS. PRODIS.Authoring is built with a modern architecture based on J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) and the Eclipse Framework. The flexible release management allows for the configuration of arbitrary diagnostic data packages (e.g. to satisfy a delivery chain to brand-specific dealerships).

Alternatively, PRODIS.Authoring can export the diagnostic data as an ODX project. Both, Version 2.0.1 and 2.1.0 of this standard are supported. The exported data can be interpreted by PRODIS.MCD or other standard-compliant MCD-3D implementations.

PRODIS.Authoring is built with a modern architecture, which relies on the J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) platform and the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP).

The modular architecture (plug-in-concept) supports the configuration of different work environments (perspectives). Thereby, PRODIS.Authoring can flexibly be adapted to the application requirements within the whole diagnostic life-cycle.

Application Features

  • Graphical creation of diagnostic applications and HMI (Human-Machine-Interface) layouts
  • Administration of diagnostic data of a complete vehicle fleet
  • Graphical testing and debugging of both data and applications against an integrated simulator, a vehicle or a test bench together with a diagnostic tester (e.g. MFT, MDI product families)
  • Internationalisation of displayed texts and units even for graphical languages
  • Integrated version- and variant management for optimal support of multi-user collaboration and avoidance of redundancies
  • Im-/export from and to XML and ODX to integrate data into the overall processes
  • Extensive reporting capabilities

System Benefits

  • ‘Zero-Installation’ and ‘Zero-Administration’ on client PCs because of the employed Java WebStart Technology
  • Full integration into the PRODIS suite. The server backend is shared between PRODIS.Authoring, .OET, .RTS und .Control. Various components are part of .Authoring, .OET and .RTS. Thus, a seamless integration of user interface and test environment is reached.
  • Sophisticated role and user management for the support of all authorization and data security requirements
  • Possibility of world-wide access via Internet
  • Multi-site / multi-author operation possible
  • Redundancy-free creation of diagnostic applications
