Automotive measurement
Our measurement technology systems record and replay data streams from cameras, radar sensors and control units with an accuracy of less than 10 us. Thanks to an FPGA, the data is processed very quickly and with a very precise time stamp.
Capturing data streams in the car
With the measurement cards from SCS, the raw data from cameras, radar sensors and control units in the car can be recorded, saved and replayed with an accuracy of less than 10 us. This helps in the development of vehicle electronics through to the validation of driver assistance systems. The data can be fed back into the control unit for a virtual test drive.
Our measurement systems support platforms such as EB-ADTF, ROS or standalone applications. We have extensive experience with Texas Instruments (FPD Link III and IV), Maxim (GSML 2/3) or Sony Ser/Des components and the camera sensors from Sony, OnSemi, Omnivision and many more. Automotive buses such as CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, BroadRReach, Flexray and GigE are supported for the control units.
FPGA platform
The measurement cards are based on an FPGA (e.g. AMD Zynq Ultrascale+ ZU5) to process the data as quickly as possible. The exact time is logged via hardware time stamping. If several measurement cards are used, the time is synchronized via the PCIe bus. The card can be used in any PC with a PCI Express interface (PCIe Gen3 x4). The interfaces to the sensors and cameras can be combined as required by the customer.
User interface
The measurement card can be accessed with ADTF, ROS, Simple Viewer or a C++ API (Linux/Windows).
Customized measuring cards
Sometimes technology and the wishes of automotive development engineers develop faster than the measurement technology on the market. Thanks to our many years of experience, we can quickly adapt the measurement technology platform to new requirements. The code in the FPGA can be modularly adapted by our software developers.
