Opening the door to PXI in the ECU's Design & Validation Apps

Today's Automotive and Aerospace industries are using a large number of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) in their products, and the need to validate the behaviour of these ECUs is becoming increasingly important, especially when they are used in safety critical applications. Development of a sophisticated ECU requires the unit to be rigorously tested, not only in a normal operating environment but also to discover how the unit performs when things go wrong. The purpose of Fault Insertion Simulation is to establish solid performance predictions while using several real-world conditioning parameters, ultimately ensuring the safety of driver/pilot and passengers.
