KITE Calibrator

Released Version 0.3.1

An XCP-on-CAN calibration and measurement tool for A2L / ELF projects, parameter adjustment, DAQ measurement, and HEX output.

Overview

Keep calibration data, online adjustment, and measurement results in one workspace

KITE Calibrator supports ECU parameter calibration, XCP connection, characteristic editing, and live DAQ measurement. Engineers can build project data from A2L and ELF / AXF / OUT files, read and write scalar, curve, map, and VAL_BLK values online, and export RAM calibration results as HEX for integration.

A2L / ELF project data

Loads A2L, ELF / AXF / OUT, and DBC to organize characteristics, measurements, record layouts, DAQ lists, segment mapping, and symbol addresses.

A2L Editor

Searches ELF debug symbols and creates CHARACTERISTIC, ARRAY, and MEASUREMENT entries with data type, dimension, limits, and address save-back.

Online calibration pages

Supports parameter pages, array pages, curve editor, map editor, and VAL_BLK types with XCP read / write and readback confirmation.

DAQ and delivery output

Configures DAQ events / ODTs for live measurement with numeric / graphic pages, ASC recording, measurement logs, Intel HEX export, and parameter HEX flash.

A2L Editor and ELF symbol mapping

Based on the actual A2lEditorPanel: XCP Configuration, ELF Search, and Symbol Editor can map ELF debug symbols into CHARACTERISTIC / ARRAY / MEASUREMENT entries and save addresses or new blocks back to A2L.

DAQ, measurement pages, and Map Editor

Drawn from DaqConfigPanel, MeasurementLogPanel, GraphicVisualizationPanel, and MapEditorPanel: A2L measurements can be assigned to DAQ events and rates, then routed into numeric pages, graphic pages, or map editors for live observation and read / write workflows.

Product Highlights

Uses A2L parsing, ELF symbol / debug-symbol analysis, and segment address mapping, and can save selected symbols back as A2L CHARACTERISTIC / MEASUREMENT blocks.

Supports XCP-on-CAN connection, scalar read / write, block read / write, curve / map / VAL_BLK editing, and readback confirmation.

Supports static / dynamic DAQ flow, DTO frame decoding, measurement log / playback, ASC trace recording, Intel HEX export, and parameter HEX flash.

Core Capabilities

A2L / ELF / DBC loading

Parses characteristics, measurements, axes, conversions, record layouts, DAQ lists, and ECU addresses. ELF symbols take priority over A2L addresses, with segment-offset mapping when needed.

A2L Editor and symbol modeling

Provides XCP Configuration, ELF Search, and Symbol Editor tabs to create or update CHARACTERISTIC, ARRAY, and MEASUREMENT entries, then save them back to A2L.

Parameter / Curve / Map editing

Reads and writes scalar, curve, map, and array / VAL_BLK values online, including limit clamping, batch arithmetic operations, and block read / write.

DAQ / ODT measurement

Builds channels from A2L DAQ events, supports polling and DAQ lists, and decodes DTO frames into engineering values, min / max, numeric pages, and graphic pages.

Trace and measurement records

Can start ASC recording during measurement. Measurement logs preserve channel samples and can be loaded later for playback-style review.

HEX delivery

Exports RAM calibration pages as Intel HEX and can load parameter HEX files back into ECU RAM segments through XCP DOWNLOAD.

Typical Calibration Workflow

From project import and XCP connection to parameter adjustment and result output, calibration work can be recorded and delivered.

1

Create project

Load A2L and ELF / AXF / OUT to build the calibration data model.

2

Connect ECU

Connect through XCP-on-CAN and verify session, DAQ, and memory access.

3

Tune and measure

Adjust characteristics while watching measurements and trends.

4

Export results

Save calibration settings, measurement data, and Intel HEX output.

Where It Fits

Useful for control strategy calibration, ECU bring-up, HIL / bench tuning, and calibration data delivery.

Control tuning

Adjust thresholds, gains, curves, and maps online and observe ECU response.

DAQ measurement

Monitor control variables, sensor values, states, and diagnostic signals.

Calibration delivery

Export HEX and calibration records for later version integration.
