RALO
RALO is a software to manage the overall measurement network. It configures, controls and monitors multiple data sources (e.g. GETK-P4 ) and multiple data sinks (e.g. data recorders, visualization applications). Additionally, RALO supports "service-discovery" to identify measurable data from the ECU software and supports the online and offline data access. A modular approach allows a flexible deployment in either a Windows and/or Linux operating system.
- Reduced complexity through a holistic and modular solution approach
- Investment security through future-oriented scalability
- Flexible integration in the tool chain through well-defined APIs
