A Practical Implementation of ASAM-GDI on an Automated Model Based Calibration System

The paper addresses the connectivity issues related to integrating an Automated Model Based Calibration System (MTS Atlas) to a dynamometer test bed data acquisition system using an ASAM-GDI Interface. The GDI (Generic Device Interface) implementation was chosen over other ASAM interfaces due to its real-time capabilities and the ability to host new GDI drivers as these drivers become available.

A structured migration process is developed showing how a new interface standard can be implemented that integrates with legacy test equipment, yet provides a simple low cost mechanism allowing replacement of old or redundant equipment.
