Open Diagnostic Framework – First Development Platform for OTX

Feb. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- OTX (Open Test sequence eXchange – ISO 13209) is a new vehicle diagnostics standard initiated by Daimler AG that enables the user to graphically design and execute diagnostic sequences. In addition to the well-established standards ODX and MVCI (ASAM MCD3) the user is not only able to simply create process-safe and exchangeable complex diagnostic sequences; in fact, complete tester applications can now be included into the process. Just imagine: A complete tester application including all its necessary data is being created generically from an XML database. This application is not only ergonomically designed but it is stable, with good performance, and much less inexpensive than traditional solutions.

The Open Diagnostic Framework by emotive GmbH proves that such a solution is not impossible. Here, the user can graphically create his diagnostic sequences and test them against real ECUs or an in-built simulation, even using the debugger. The results are traced automatically. For user input and output one may design graphical user interfaces and bind them to the diagnostic sequences. All this can be packaged as a stand-alone distributable windows application (*.exe) to be shipped to customers as a tester application. The developer does not even have to write a single line of source code and the complexity of the underlying standards is hidden to him.

The emotive GmbH offers free webcasts on its website http://www.emotive.de to provide a quick and comprehensive overview of the ODF’s architecture and its practical usability.
