MDT® 2.0 – Modular Diagnostic Toolchain
)
The new MDT® 2.0 offers a standardized tool for accessing diagnostic data. The tool offers various options for the creation, structuring and implementation of diagnostic workflows based on the industry standard OTX (Open Test Sequence eXchange format) according to ISO 13209, while the ODX standard (Open Diagnostic Data Exchange) guarantees the reusability of diagnostic services. In addition, MDT® 2.0 supports native RMI support and offers the innovative ODW wizard (Sontheim OTX Diagnostic Wizard), which simplifies OTX editing in a very convenient way without breaking the ISO standard.
Multi platform support
The runtime was developed especially for multiplatform applications and offers multi-platform GUI support as well as a platform-independent description of the runtime workflow language. This reduces both the implementation and testing effort for your diagnostic applications across multiple PC, mobile or embedded platforms. The MDT® 2.0 allows you to create your diagnostic application once and run it on different platforms such as Windows, Linux x86, Linux ARM or QNX without modifications.
Runtime optimized for embedded diagnostics
The optimized runtime and the MCD-3D light server have been specially developed and optimized for embedded diagnostic applications. The extremely slim runtime system enables diagnostic applications directly in the vehicle (e. g. on the terminal or a telemetry unit), which offers the user completely new diagnostic possibilities.
Modern design
The MDT® 2.0 Authoring Tool is based on Visual Studio to meet the needs of modern developers. A new, clear and modern design allows the use of Visual Studio plug-ins for SVN, Git and other extensions commonly used for development. In addition, new graphical elements such as 2D and 3D animations can be used to create your diagnostic application, making diagnostics more visually appealing and more intuitive for service personnel and diagnostic users.
Applications
The MDT® 2.0 supports numerous international protocol layers such as KWP2000, SAE J2534, SAE J1939, ISO 15765 (Diagnostics on CAN) as well as proprietary and customer-specific protocols. The scope of services can thus be individually adapted to the requirements of the field of application.
