3.2 Working with the Database Manager – Preparations

The following data are managed in the database:
• Workspaces (including hardware configuration)
• Experiments
• ECU projects (A2L) and datasets
• CDM configurations
• Calibration Scenario Configurations
• Measure catalogs
• ECU documentation or link to ECU documentation
• AUTOSAR system templates
• CAN DB descriptions
• CAN Message Lists
(available only if the component CAN MessageSending has been
installed)
• FIBEX files with configurations for communication via the Flexray bus
(Flexray functionality requires the INCA-FLEXRAY add-on)
• LDF files with configurations for communication via the LIN bus
(LIN functionality requires the INCA-LIN add-on)
• ODX project files for diagnostic issues
(Diagnostic functionality requires the ODX-LINK add-on)
• ODX Flash project files with configurations for flashing via the ODX interface
(ODX flashing functionality requires the ODX-FLASH add-on)
The following types of data are not managed in the database:
• measure files (.dat)
• Custom user interfaces (.vui)
• *.a2l and *.dbc files
• *.hex and *.s19 files

3.2.1 Creating a New Database, Folder, Workspace, and Experiment

默认数据库存放地址：x:\ETASData\INCA7.1\Database，其中的x为当初安装的盘符。
·Save as...，存放自己选择的地址

3.2.2 Setting up a Project

主要需要两个文件：

the project description file (*.a2l)；
the hex file (*.hex, *.s19; Intel hex or Motorola format也就是 .mot)；
注意当添加a2l文件后，会自动弹出窗口让你再选择.s19/.mot文件。

Prerequisites for calibrating with INCA are creating a memory image of the control unit and storing the information in the form of datasets in INCA. This requires the following files: the project description file (*.a2l) with the physical description of the data and the hex file (*.hex, *.s19; Intel hex or Motorola format) containing the control unit program consisting of the code and the data. The different datasets of the working page and reference page are stored separately in INCA as the working dataset and the read-only reference dataset. Readonly datasets are identified by a red frame.

3.2.3 Adding Bus Descriptions and Further Database Items

If you want to exchange information via a vehicle bus (e.g. CAN), you also need bus description files defining the system topology and/or the bus communication.

3.2.4 Setting up the Workspace

When you create a workspace (WS) in the DBM, it is initially “empty”, i.e., it still
contains no references to other database items. To give life to this workspace,
you have to assign a project to it, select the appropriate project hardware and
allocate an experiment.

注意：在添加ECU项目时候，要选择自己使用的连接线，一定要选且不要选错！

3.3 Working in the Hardware Configuration Editor

Essentially, the Hardware Configuration Editor enables you to manage and configure the hardware for the active workspace.

You can use the Memory Page Manager integrated in the HWC Editor to match different data versions between the PC and ECU.

3.3.1 Adding, Configuring and Initializing Hardware

When you add hardware components manually, the hardware still needs to be initialized.

3.3.2 Matching Data Versions Between the PC and ECU

INCA provides the Memory Page Manager to manage different datasets (working and reference datasets). This is a versatile tool which you can use to copy memory contents in any direction.

For example, it allows you to read data versions into and from the control unit or copy data from the working data version to the reference data version or vice versa, save working datasets or write-protect them as an “intermediate result” and change reference datasets for the current project.

The Memory Page Manager is opened automatically if different data versions are detected during the initialization of the control unit.

You can call the Memory Page Manager both from the HWC Editor and the Experiment Environment by pressing < SHIFT > + < F8 >.

在实际的工作中，一般选择2 Enhanced-->Upload-->Doit，后面的几步，直接回车确认即可。

3.4 Working in the Experiment Environment

The Experiment Environment mainly contains the functionality required to perform a measurement and calibration task and used when preparing the individual partial tasks.
It is used to select measure and calibration variables and their arrangement in various windows, such as oscilloscope, bar display, and table or graphical calibration editors.

3.4.1 Selecting Measure and Calibration Variables

Depending on the hardware configuration used in the workspace, the experiment only provides the measure and calibration variables for selection which aredefined in the connected hardware.

红色的一般为：Measure 信号，即观测信号；
蓝色的一般为：Calibration信号：即标定信号。

3.4.2 Configuring the Display

For configuring the representation of measure and calibration variables, you have a range of measure and calibration instruments with the associated display options at your disposal. You can either select the adequate instrument for each variable individually or accept the instrument suggested by the program as a default.

3.4.3 Configuring the Usage of Variables

Apart from setting how the variables are displayed in the experiment, you can
also set their raster, the recording status and whether they shall be used at all in
the experiment.
It can be useful to set variables to inactive; they will still be saved in the experiment, but temporarily not used in the experiment, thus not filling the raster. They can easily be reactivated later, with the previous properties and instrument assignment being saved.

3.4.4 Using Layers in an Experiment

To improve the display of all measure and calibration instruments required in an
experiment, INCA allows you to distribute the instruments to different layers.
This is useful especially when working with small screens. You can create any
number of layers and delete them as required. For example, you can define one layer for the measure instruments and another one for the calibration instruments.

3.4.5 Configuring Measure Data Recording

INCA provides extensive and convenient methods in a dedicated configuration
window to prepare for and configure the storage of measured data. You can use them to specify the storage of the measure file by setup options such as storage location, storage name, format (ETAS binary file, ASCII, Matlab M-File, FAMOS, DIADEM and MDF) and other individual information.

To automate the start, repetition, and end of measure data recording, you can
define trigger conditions (with pretrigger time and posttrigger time, if required)
which trigger the desired event.

You can choose whether you just use one easy-to-use default recorder; as an
alternative, you can individually configure different recorders that can be run
separately from each other and that can be used for background recording.

图标从左到右：

1. Create New Recorder
2. Delete Recorder
3. Add Variables to the Selected Recorder
4. Find a recorder by name
5. Toggle the Variables view on/off：就是展开/关闭右栏的变量

使用事件作为文件名称，并且转换为 Matlab 的 m 文件保存。
选择一个信号作为 test，点击开始记录
找到保存数据的文件地址，如下：

共 6 个文件：

1.measure2021-02-04 14_50_08.dat     // 数据存储存放
2.measure2021-02-04 14_50_08.m       // 后文解析，该文件中的内容包含了  3，4，5 文件中的内容
3.measure2021-02-04 14_50_08_1.m     // 后文解析，该文件独立，但内容为 2 文件中的第二部分
4.measure2021-02-04 14_50_08_2.m     // 后文解析，该文件独立，但内容为 2 文件中的第三部分
5.measure2021-02-04 14_50_08_3.m     // 后文解析，该文件独立，但内容为 2 文件中的第四部分
6.measure2021-02-04 14_50_08_MeasureWindow.xda   // 对工程、文件的一些说明记录(2021.2.4写)

使用 Matlab 打开文件，对 measure2021-02-04 14_50_08.m 文件进行分析

4.1 文件的开头 8 行，如下：

%Matlab MFile		L4.0.10
% to load the data execute  "run d:\ETASData\INCA7.1\Measure\measure2021-02-04 14_50_08_3.m" in the Matlab workspace
% the values assigned to aSignalName are indices into the Group array
% 	the "/" of the internal ascetSD or inca name is replaced by "qr"
% 	leading "_" are removed
% the Group array contain all data of this group arranged in one line for each sample(->record)
% access to a single element will be
% Group_n  ( recordNumber,signalName)

第一行：是说为 Matlab mfILE
第二行：如何在 Matlab 中加载该数据
第三行：用索引的方式将数值分配给 aSignalName ，并放在成组的数组中
第四行：存储器的索引"/"或者 inca 的名字都被替换为 "qr"在文件中存在
第五行：开头的下划线被删去
第六行：数据成一行放在数组中
第七、八行：每个信号被命名为 Group_n 的形式

4.2 每个文件的组织行大同小异，用于解释数据组织形式：

第九行：sampleCnt 为该 m 文件采集到多少个数据；
第十行：recordFormat =xx xx 为每组数组的格式，分别有`（f8 f4）、（f8 u32 u8）、（f8 u32）等
第十一行： time = 1,，暂时不明白（2021.2.4 写）

1.measure2021-02-04 14_50_08.m

sampleCnt = 783                  ; 
recordFormat = 'f8 f4 '
time = 1 ; 
copt_VMS_LifeCounter3qiCCPqj2 = 2 ; //信号名称

2.measure2021-02-04 14_50_08_1.m

sampleCnt = 783                  ; 
recordFormat = 'f8 f4 '
time = 1 ; 
copt_VMS_LifeCounter3qiCCPqj2 = 2 ; //信号名称

3.measure2021-02-04 14_50_08_2.m

sampleCnt = 2                    ; 
recordFormat = 'f8 u32 u8 '
time = 1 ; 
qRCalibrationLogqiCCPqj2 = 2 ; 
qRActiveCalibrationPageqiCCPqj2 = 3 ;

4.measure2021-02-04 14_50_08_3.m

sampleCnt = 1                    ; 
recordFormat = 'f8 u32 '
time = 1 ; 
qREVENT_COMMENTS = 2 ;

3.4.6 Performing a Measurement

3.4.7 Performing Calibrations in the Editors

The various calibration instruments display the calibration variables (scalars,
curves, and maps) in the form of tables or graphics.

The calibration instruments are also used as editors you can use to change the values of calibration variables directly in the visualization.

INCA also assists you in operations such as offset, breakpoint and block calibrations. With curve and map editors, you can display the current process point of the engine.

3.4.8 Saving Datasets

INCA provides several means to save the current program version. To make your modified data available to other users, you can save the working dataset as a new HEX file in the file system. In INCA, you can save the current working dataset under a different name, to backup an intermediate version.
You can also copy the current data of the working dataset to a new reference dataset. The current reference dataset is write-protected and therefore cannot be replaced directly. Instead, you are prompted to enter a name for the new reference dataset.
