The Ethernet-based ETK, FETK, and XETK interfaces by ETAS provide direct access to the measurement variables and control parameters of an ECU via the parallel data and address bus, or via a serial microcontroller testing or debugging interface. The ETK, FETK, and XETK interfaces are real-time capable. Their dedicated power supplies enable the preparation and initiation of cold-start testing independently of the ECU. Due to their extremely compact design, ETKs, FETKs, and XETKs can be accommodated inside the housings of production ECUs. They are impervious to the temperature extremes and vibrations at the ECU's location in the vehicle.
