This presentation was created for a webinar on "Diagnostic Flash Application with OTX". Flash programming is a use case which In2Soft Diagnostic Tools support very well. Below are the list of use cases that are addressed through the webinar and elucidated using the presentation: • Designing flash screen with OTX • Performing diagnostic operations • Creating variables • Using loops & branches • Executing & debugging the application • Creating sophisticated HTML reports • Publishing the sequence for diagnostic engineers & testers

1. Diagnostic applications are either generic or specific
2. Dependency between tool vendor and tool user
THE GOAL
1. To have a generic and specific application
2. No dependency between tool vendor and tool user

ECUs / Sessions 1 2 3 4 5
Airbag, Tier1 A X
Airbag, Tier1 B X
ECM, Diesel-Engine X X
ECM, Gasoline-Eingine X X
Data for reprogramming is organized in “Flash sessions”
For every ECU variant a list of flash sessions is valid. Example:
For ECM, Diesel-Engine, Sessions 3&4 are valid

How it really
works…

19. Flash application – How it works…
© KPIT Cummins Infosystems Ltd 19
Step 1: Create / Design the user interface

20. Flash application – How it works…
© KPIT Cummins Infosystems Ltd 20
Step 2: Bind in-/out parameters to GUI controls
Example:
listOfECUs (variable name)
List<String> (variable type)
„Variable Binding“
Example:
selectedECU (variableName)
Integer (variable type)

21. Flash application – How it works…

Step 3: Create top-level sequence that opens screen
Opens the screen
Terminates the screen
Eventhandler for
GUI actions

22. Flash application – How it works…
© KPIT Cummins Infosystems Ltd 22
Every GUI action needs an event handler! Example:
User pushes button
Event fired by OTX engine
Thread resumes…
Sequence waits at event handler…
