Getting Started with the ECU Software Toolkit

Use TestStand and the ECU Software Toolkit with other NI development tools to build, debug, customize, and deploy ECU characterization and production test systems.

Brief Tour of the ECU Software Toolkit

  1. From the TestStand Sequence Editor, open Getting Started with ECU Toolkit.seq. Open the file from the <TestStand Public>\Examples\NI_ECUToolkit\Getting Started with ECU Toolkit directory.

    The Getting Started with ECU Toolkit.seq sequence file is a simple example ECU test program that demonstrates a multisite test program that uses ECU Software Toolkit step types. The example is configured to test up to two DUTs in parallel, each on a separate test site.

  2. Review the following ECU Software Toolkit toolbar buttons to use to control execution and view lot statistics while executing and debugging a sequence.
