Development of a real-time extension that allows user to play recorded datasets or programmed slopes for an automotive engine testbed software.

Background

This project was part of the evolution of an engine testbed software solution required by an automotive constructor.

Description

Development of a real-time player of data. Data are extracted from a dataset file and played according to user configuration inside the automation system executive program. The player natively supports comma-separated values and MDF 3.1 file formats and can be easily extended to support new ones. A powerful buffering system has been developed to optimize file access without interfering with real-time operations. A custom user graphical interface has been provided to control and monitor players alongside with the automation software interface.
