Decoders, drivers, program libraries: Software integration solutions for the acquisition and evaluation of synchronous ADMA measurement data

The Offenburg-based engineering company GeneSys Elektronik specializes in the development and manufacture of high-precision sensor systems. These are mainly used in the automotive sector for vehicle dynamics and advanced driver assistance measurements.

With the Automotive Dynamic Motion Analyzer, ADMA for short, all motion states such as acceleration, velocity, position, angular rates, orientation- and sideslip angle of the vehicle can be acquired with high precision under motion. Numerous cooperations make software and hardware solutions – depending on the application – available to GeneSys customers. 

For the acquisition and evaluation of synchronous ADMA measurement data, customers can rely on numerous software solutions such as decoders, drivers, or program libraries. 

Overview Integration solutions

ADMA Decoder Vector CANape & CANoe

CANape is a powerful measurement and calibration tool that has been specially developed for the development and validation of embedded systems and ADAS/AD solutions in the automotive industry. CANape is used to calibrate ECU parameters and to record, visualize and analyse measurement data. CANape captures measurement data from many common high-resolution radar, video and LIDAR sensors, such as IBEO HAD, Quanergy, Mobileye and GigE Vision.

CANoe is a comprehensive development and test environment specifically designed for the development, analysis and simulation of CAN, Ethernet, FlexRay, LIN-based networks and many other protocols in vehicles. This powerful software enables engineers to monitor, analyze and test various aspects of network communication, including real-time measurements, signal generation, fault injection and diagnostics.

The GNSS-based inertial system ADMA serves as a reference system. All ADMA measurement data is recorded and, if necessary, offset against each other. The area of application ranges from individual vehicles to several networked vehicles.

Software-Integraftionslösung

ROS 1 and ROS 2 driver

  • Sensor processing, evaluation, planning and control

ROS is an open-source project which is released under the BSD license and provides a modular framework for industrial robotics. The latest ADMA ROS driver can be downloaded directly from GitHub:

In the automotive industry, the functions are used for sensor processing, evaluation, planning and control. Thus, ROS is also increasingly used in the field of autonomous driving. With the help of the ADMA ROS driver, the ADMA measurement data can be acquired via Ethernet and thus used for regulation and control.

GeneSys Data Reader API

  • Programming interface for the connection of the ADMA Ethernet data output in own software solutions

The GeneSys Data Reader API is a programming interface for linking the ADMA Ethernet data output in proprietary software solutions. Research and development use the ADMA Data Reader Library to realize online data acquisition or to post-process and analyze ADMA measurement data.

All Ethernet data formats (ADMAnet, RAW Data, DELTA Data, BrakingData, Robot Data) of an ADMA can be interpreted online with .Net C#DLL. (Binary) measurement data already recorded with the GeneSys Ethernet logger, for example, can thus also be decoded in the post-processing. This integration is particularly useful in analysis engineering tools that are often used for data analysis. For example, MATLAB or similar software solutions provide a .NET interface.

We are happy to provide you with the Data Reader API Library free of charge, please contact us.

Plugins

Numerous data acquisition systems enable a fully synchronized acquisition, storage and visualization of measurement data from different interfaces:

Supported interfaces include:

  • Analoge, digital, counter and encoder data
  • Camera data
  • Odometry and vehicle bus systems

Thanks to the implemented ADMA plug-ins, the inertial measurement unit ADMA from GeneSys can be used as a reference system for vehicle dynamics and advanced driver assistance systems.

The ADMA plug-in enables the acquisition of measurement data such as ADMAnet data. With the help of the plug-in within the data acquisition systems – such as those from Dewesoft or Dewetron – the ADMA can also be used as clock master as well as realize software synchronization of other hardware components.
