Dear readers, 3

Many of you already know us! You deploy electronic control units, we provide you with the diagnostic solutions. Whether for ECU networks in vehicles, for test benches or for ECU production, we offer you the right products and expertise.

Our customers are mainly OEM and ECU manufacturers in the automotive industry. They deploy our hard- and software products in development departments, use our residual bus simulations with concurrent diagnostics at engine test benches or assembly inspection lines, but also for holistic WLAN-based production lines and even to a complete aftermarket service tester.

Since the merger with the Softing AG, our customers not only appreciate our growth as a company, but mainly our unique innovative product lines and our broad know-how in the automotive segment.

With combined forces, together with our parent company, we are currently developing new products in the area of software as well as in a new concerted hardware portfolio. Our main focus here is on our expertise in the commercial vehicle sector but also in the production of vehicles and ECUs.

As confirmed by our growth, our customers are confident that our tools and solutions can be holistically applied in all areas for development, production and service departments. The benefits of a single tool chain in the automotive segment of the Softing AG have been expanded through the close cooperation with our sister companies. Especially convincing to our customers and employees are the interlocking solutions of customized software applications, diagnostic run-time systems and optimized hardware products for all diagnostic use cases.

We are looking forward to your visit!

Yours René von Stillfried Managing director, samtec automotive software & electronics gmbh

SUPPORTING STANDARDS­ Softing TDX.workshop is designed for use in the field. It is SAFEGUARDS INVESTMENTS used as a sequence environment for the diagnostic sequences For diagnostic sequences, Softing TDX is based on the OTX created beforehand with Softing TDX.studio. These can be standard for ECU communication and data interpretation updated and/or mod­ified at any time later on with the update on the ODX standard. OTX and ODX data already used in the mechanism. Diagnostic results can be saved as a report – company can thus be reused or can continue to be used with all activities thus always remain transparent. Further­more, Softing TDX. all data is available for additional analyses.

27 TWO TOOLS – ONE GOAL: THE SIMPLE DEFINITION OF FAST REPAIR TIPS Softing TDX consists of two tools. Softing TDX.studio is the authoring system with which diagnostic trees, sequences and the representation are generated. The input of communica- tion data also takes place using Softing TDX.studio. There are templates and wizards to ensure that standard tasks can be carried out in next to no time. The diagnoses created can then be compiled to form a distribution – either as a whole or in parts. This is made available to service technicians and/or test engineers online or on data carriers.

If sequences are to be used later in the test sequences. field, in manufacturing or in the service tester, we have the appropriate solution: Using OTX Server as a pure sequence environment, integration into existing (and even new) applica- tions is straight-forward. Application programmers do not have to have any knowledge of OTX for this purpose.

SMT combines sophisticated measurement technology with mechanism means the systems only ever grow to the minimum signal generation, communication, computing power and size required for a particular function scope. memory depth. The module family provides a whole range of physical inputs and outputs and communication interfaces in one modular system. AREAS OF APPLICATION As SMT systems are rugged, they are perfect for harsh, mobile use in test vehicles. However, they are also often used in sta­ SYSTEM DESIGN tionary applications such as test benches and in manufacturing. The unique module concept enables optimal adaptation to SMT tasks are in no way limited to simply acquiring measured each individual application. Channels can be scaled to virtually values.
