Automotive Tools from Visu-IT!
Visu-IT! offers the following tools which assist in the automotive electronic control unit development:
Global and central management of ECU variables
Automotive Data Dictionary (ADD)
The Automotive Data Dictionary (ADD) represents a global data dictionary for all ECU labels/variables used in company/organisation.
The single source concept of ADD eases the handling and management of data declarations over all projects.
Due to the (company-wide) availability and uniqueness of these labels, ADD allows a continuous and consistent data declaration during the whole development process.| Focus: | Single source of all data declarations. Global, company-wide label database, specification view, no implementation details. |
| Scope: | Global, project and module scope. |
Data Declaration System (DDS)
The Data Declaration System (DDS)
is a central repository for all variable declarations of an ECU project and thereby ensures consistency between the ECU source
code and the ASAM description files (e.g. *.a2l) generated for ASAP2 reading calibration and measurement systems.
| Focus: | Software implementation. |
| Scope: | ECU project scope. |
The overall objective of ADD and DDS is to help maintaining data consistency in the whole development process - that means both in the system-/ function-development and in the software-development. This consistent data process can be achieved due to the single source concept of ADD and the excellent interface to DDS.

ASAP2 editor and processing tools
ASAP2 Toolkit
The Visu-IT! ASAP2 Toolkit is a standalone application to create, import, merge and update "ASAM MCD 2MC" description files (*.a2l). The ASAP2Toolkit contains an ease to use
ASAP2 Editor for defining and managing calibration and measurement items to be used in embedded controllers as well as attributes and settings required for configuring calibration systems.
ASAM MCD 2MC Parser (ASAP2 Parser)
The Visu-IT! ASAP2 Parser is a generic parser (not fix linked to a certain ASAP2 version), supports all ASAP2 keys,
is very performant and offers both a COM and a .NET interface.
Function documentation
FunDoc - Automate function documentation
The objective of the Visu-IT! FunDoc tool is to ease the documentation process of simulation models.
At this junction it is designed as a first-step tool in your documentation process chain.
FunDoc is able to connect to several development tools and place the gathered information at user’s disposal for edit or print.Miscellaneous
ADDS Interface
The purpose of the tool ADDS Autocode Interface is to ease the communication and collaboration of the Visu-IT! tools Automotive Data Dictionary (ADD)
and Data Declaration System (DDS) with the tools TargetLink - Data Dictionary (dSpace) and Ascet (ETAS).
