Platform API Package

Application programming interfaces for connecting to dSPACE platforms

The Platform API Package is a set of libraries to access dSPACE real-time platforms and dSPACE VEOS. It provides a convenient way to download and start/stop models and also gives high-level access to the model variables for reading, writing, stimulating, capturing, etc. 

  • Package containing automation libraries for accessing dSPACE systems
  • High-level libraries for convenient platform management and simulation model access
  • Compliant to ASAM XIL API standard 

Application Areas

The Platform API Package is a set of libraries to access and manage dSPACE real-time platforms and dSPACE VEOS. It provides a convenient way to download and start/stop models and also gives high-level access to the model variables for reading, writing, stimulating, capturing, etc. 

Key Benefits

  • Access to dSPACE real-time platforms and dSPACE VEOS
  • Support of Python or any .NET-compliant language
  • Support of ASAM XIL API standard
  • Create your own test scripts and test automation applications to access parameters and signals in your simulation
  • Automation interface to MATLAB®, e.g., for data processing

Functionality Description
XIL API support in .NET
  • Programming interface that complies with the ASAM XIL API standard for accessing the simulation model
  • MAPort support including read, write, and capture access plus stimulus support for most dSPACE platforms
  • Port management: e.g., for loading applications and setting the simulation state
  • XIL framework variable support, including unit conversion, supports advanced variable mapping features. This allows an improved decoupling of test scripts from simulation models, hence a better reuse of test scripts.
Platform Management API
  • Programming interface for downloading, starting and stopping a model running on a dSPACE real-time platform or on dSPACE VEOS
MATLABLIB2
  • Remote-control MATLAB to use its powerful mathematical function, e.g., for signal processing

Certified according to ISO 26262

For validating ECU software, dSPACE offers several tools that are certified according to ISO 26262. These include Real-Time Testing (RTT), SIMPHERA, VEOS and the Platform API Package. This means that all these products can be used in safety-relevant development projects in accordance with ISO 26262:2018 for all Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASIL).
The certification enables users to simplify their overall ISO 26262 processes. They can use the tools in safety-critical projects with very little qualification effort and are provided with safety manuals to support them in their use case.
