5 1.4 User Documentation The INCA-QM-BASIC user s documentation is part of the INCA online help. 2 Product Definition 2.1 Functions at a glance During the development of an ECU different teams work on different software functions in parallel. This means that calibration data has to be exchanged between calibration engineers or project teams. The ASAM standards PaCo and CDF V2.0 describe the maturity of parameters or software functions in quality meta data (QMD) state information. The add-on INCAQM-BASIC allows creating, viewing, editing and transferring Quality Meta Data in addition to the calibration data. The QMD describe the state of each calibration value and the history of applied state changes. At the same time, this information can be defined for software functions. The INCA-QM-BASIC add-on to INCA provides QMD handling and supports the exchange formats PaCo V2.0 and CDF V2.0. Support of Quality Meta Data (QMD) states and history Storing of QMD states in XML files (PaCo1 or CDF2 format) and INCA datasets Visualization of QMD states for functions and variables Comparison of QMD states independent of value comparison 2.2 General Description Safety Notice Please respect the Safety Notice stated in the INCA System Prerequisites The following minimum system prerequisites have to be met: Required Hardware Required Operating System 2 GHz Processor 2 GB RAM DVD-ROM drive (for installation) Network adapter Graphics with a resolution of at least 1024 x 768, 256 MB RAM, 16bit color and DirectX 9 Windows XP SP3 (32bit) or higher, Windows Vista SP1 (32bit) or higher, Windows 7 SP1 (32 or 64bit) or higher.
