How to Annotate Values from A2L/HEX/DCM/CDF Files

Procedure

The values for Scalar Parameters and System Constants are annotated to the Model Viewer (like live data from INCA and data from measurement files). This helps to understand more easily on how an ECU function is calibrated. EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR takes the values from the loaded A2L (*.a2l), HEX (*.hex, *.s19) or DCM (*.dcm)/CDF (*.cdfx)/PaCo (*.xml) files. The Display Value (Display all values)/Hide Value (Hide all values) shows or hides the values.
To annotate the values:
Firstly, load the A2L, HEX, DCM/CDF/PaCo files as below:

  • Go to Data menu → Measurement and Calibration Files.
    Measurement and Calibration Files dialog box is displayed.

  • Select the A2L, HEX, DCM/CDF/PaCo files and click Load.
    The selected A2L, HEX, DCM/CDF/PaCo files are loaded.
    Then, annotate the values for Scalar Parameters and System Constants by any of the following methods:

  • Right-click on a label in the Interactive Model/Function Overview Diagram.
    A context menu is displayed.

  • Click Display Value.
    <Or>

  • Click Display all values in the Status bar.
    <Or>

  • Go to Data menu, select Display all Values.
    The values are annotated in the Model viewer based on the values feeded in the respective A2L, HEX, DCM/CDF/Paco files.

Annotation of values.

On the same way, you can also hide all the displayed values.

The "Find in current tab" feature will not search the annotated values.
