DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] In order to clarify the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but it is clear that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without performing creative work fall within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0008] In vehicle software, the measurement data display window needs to display multiple signals, for example, the graphic window needs to display the curves of multiple signals. According to the needs of vehicle testing, these signals need to be grouped, for example, a group related to the power assembly, and a group related to the chassis electronic control. To avoid mutual influence, different groups need to be displayed using different measurement data display windows.

[0009] When actually using these groups, you will always encounter situations where you need to synchronize the time axis to check the signals; for example, observing the wheel speed signal at shift time requires synchronizing the signal displays in the group related to the power assembly and the group related to the chassis electrical control.

[0010] To solve this problem, in some software platforms in the related art, a commonly adopted method is to divide a measurement data display window into multiple columns. Each column displays a set of signals, and all columns share the same time axis. When the scale of the time axis changes, all the divided columns display the current signals according to the scale of the time axis, thereby realizing synchronous display.

[0011] However, this method also has drawbacks. When there are many signal groups, they cannot be displayed in separate columns. At the same time, this method uses one window to combine multiple signal groups, which is unfavorable for dividing test functions.

[0012] Therefore, at least one embodiment provides a method for synchronously displaying measurement data, which includes: setting a synchronization indicator and a synchronization function for each of a plurality of measurement data display windows; when the display time span of any of the measurement data display windows in the paused state is changed, the synchronization functions of the remaining measurement data display windows in the paused state are called, and the synchronization functions match the synchronization indicators of the measurement data display window in the paused state with the synchronization indicators of the remaining measurement data display windows in the paused state, and if they match, perform a synchronization operation.

[0013] In some embodiments, the measurement data synchronous display method synchronizes different measurement data display windows, including but not limited to graphic windows, message information windows, etc. The time ranges in the message information windows and graphic windows can be synchronized, and any combination of synchronization methods can be used.

[0014] The method for synchronously displaying measurement data in some embodiments is particularly applicable to the synchronous display of measurement data in car bus tool software.Specific synchronous display methods for measurement data in car bus tool software can be used for synchronous display in the following application scenarios: 1) When analyzing a signal in a specific time period in the message list, you can simultaneously view the curves of other messages in that time period in the graphic window, and vice versa. 2) When analyzing a signal in a particular time period in a graphic window, one can simultaneously view the curves of other messages within that time period in other graphic windows, and vice versa. 3) When analyzing signals in a specific time period in the message list, you can simultaneously view the signal values ​​in that time period in other message information windows, and vice versa. 4) When analyzing signals for a specific time period in a message information window or graphic window online in one automotive bus tool software process, you can simultaneously view the signal information in the related message information window or graphic window for that time period in one or more other processes of similar automotive bus tool software, and vice versa.

[0015] The advantages of synchronous display between graphic windows are as follows: When viewing a curve in one graphic window, the curves at the same time in other graphic windows can be simultaneously viewed, making it easier to analyze problems.

[0016] The advantages of synchronous display of the graphic window and the message information window are as follows: if you find that an abnormality has occurred in the signal curve in the graphic window, you can directly move to the message information window, and there is no need to scroll the scroll bar of the message information window to locate the problem message, but you can directly view the current display area of ​​the message information window, because the display time span of the current display area of ​​the message information window is automatically synchronized in the process of viewing the graphic window.

[0017] Various non-limiting embodiments of examples of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, some embodiments provide a method for synchronously displaying measurement data. The method includes: In step S101, a synchronization indicator and a synchronization function are set in each of a plurality of measurement data display windows; In step S102, if the display time span of any of the measurement data display windows in the pause state is changed, the synchronization function of the remaining measurement data display windows in the pause state is called, and the synchronization function matches the synchronization marks of the measurement data display window in the pause state with those of the remaining measurement data display windows in the pause state, i.e., realizes synchronization matching judgment; In step S103, if the matching is found, a synchronization operation is performed.

[0018] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the measurement data display window may include, but is not limited to, a graphic window, a message information window, etc. The synchronization indicator is string information as an attribute of the measurement data display window. The synchronization function is a callback function, and the base classes of all measurement data display windows define this callback function, so that each measurement data display window can implement the callback function. Within the callback function, each measurement data display window determines how to synchronize based on its own characteristics.

[0019] In some embodiments, the measurement data display window is divided into two states: running and paused. When the running state is activated, the measurement data display window can always track and display the latest signal state. When the paused state is activated, the measurement data display window maintains the current display without tracking and displaying the latest signal state, making it easier for the user to analyze the currently displayed signal data.

[0020] In some embodiments, the display time span includes two time points, a start time point and an end time point, and changing either time point means that the display time span has changed.

[0021] In some embodiments, the synchronization operation may include, but is not limited to, the following operational steps: In step S201, the time axis start time of the current measurement data display window is set. In step S202, the time axis end time of the current measurement data display window is set. In step S203, the data display in the current measurement data display window is refreshed, and the data between the start time and the end time on the time axis is displayed in the current measurement data display window.

[0022] In some embodiments, changing the display time span of any dormant measurement data display window includes: triggering an event that affects the display time span; calculating a current display time span of the dormant measurement data display window based on the event that affects the display time span; and updating the display time span of the dormant measurement data display window to the current display time span.

[0023] In some embodiments, the event that affects the time span is a trigger event, which specifically includes, but is not limited to, a mouse event, a keyboard event, and a program control event.

[0024] In some embodiments, the effects of mouse events may include, but are not limited to, the following: Dragging with the left mouse button translates the displayed time span left or right, leaving the length of the displayed time span unchanged. Mouse wheel zooming shifts the displayed time span left or right, simultaneously expanding or contracting the length of the displayed time.

[0025] In some embodiments, the effects of keyboard events may be, for example, but not limited to: Pressing the left or right button translates the displayed time span left or right, while the length of the displayed time span does not change. Pressing the Home key translates the displayed time span to the left to the measurement start point, while the length of the displayed time span remains unchanged. Pressing the End key translates the displayed time span to the right to the measurement end point, while the length of the displayed time span remains unchanged. Pressing the E key increases the length of the display time. Pressing the D key will decrease the length of time displayed. Pressing the I key resets the display time length to the default length (20 seconds). Pressing the F key sets the beginning of the displayed time span to the measurement start point and the end of the displayed time span to the measurement end point.

[0026] In some embodiments, the effect of a program controlled event may be, for example, but not limited to: Automatic setting of the display time span is achieved by calling the system API function “app.set_analysis_time_range” and inputting two parameters: the start point of the display time span and the end point of the display time span.

[0027] The following will explain in detail the process of changing the display time span of any of the measurement data display windows in a paused state as an example. As shown in FIG. 4, taking the graphic window "Engine Speed" in the software as an example, the graphic window is in a pause state, and the current display time span is from 30 seconds to 40 seconds. When the display time span of the graphic window is translated to the right by 5 seconds, a display time span change event bound to the graphic window is triggered. The change event processing function first calculates the latest display time span after the change, and then increases the start time and end time of the previous display time span by 5 seconds, i.e., changes the current display time span from 35 seconds to 45 seconds. Then, the signal curve within the display time span is updated in the graphic window, as shown in Figure 5.

[0028] In some embodiments, matching the synchronization marks of the resting measurement data display window and the remaining resting measurement data display windows in the synchronization function includes: It is determined whether the synchronization indicators of the measurement data display window in the pause state and the remaining measurement data display windows in the pause state are the same, and if they are the same, they match.

[0029] The following is an example of a detailed description of the synchronization function for matching the synchronization marks of the measurement data display window in the pause state with the remaining measurement data display windows in the pause state. It is assumed that graphic window A, graphic window B, and graphic window C are all in a pause state. Their synchronization identification lists are as follows: [Table 1] When the display time span of graphic window A changes, the synchronization matching judgment compares the synchronization mark of graphic window A with the synchronization marks of graphic window B and graphic window C. The synchronization mark of graphic window A is DEFAULT, which is equal to the synchronization mark of graphic window C but not equal to the synchronization mark of graphic window B. Therefore, graphic window C is synchronized with graphic window A and graphic window B is not synchronized.

[0030] In some embodiments, performing the synchronization operation includes: The current display time span of any one of the measurement data display windows in a pause state is transmitted as a parameter to the synchronization function of each of the measurement data display windows in a pause state that are matched in the matching. Each matched measurement data display window changes its display time span to the display time span indicated by the parameter in the corresponding synchronization function, i.e., the display time span of each matched measurement data display window matches the display time span of the measurement data display window in the paused state, thereby achieving synchronization.

[0031] The following provides an example to explain in detail the steps of performing the synchronization operation. It is assumed that graphic window A, graphic window B, and graphic window C are all in a pause state. Their synchronization identification lists are as follows: [Table 2] The initial display time span of graphic window A is 1 second at start time and 3 seconds at end time. The user changes it to 2 seconds at start time and 6 seconds at end time. Then, the synchronization matching judgment reads the synchronization indicator of graphic window A and its latest current display time span, and calls the synchronization functions of graphic window B and graphic window C with these as parameters. Graphic window B and graphic window C each judge in their synchronization functions whether their synchronization indicators are the same as graphic window A. The judgment result is that graphic window B is different and graphic window C is the same. Graphic window C, which has found a match, immediately adjusts its own display time span to the current display time span transmitted from graphic window A. That is, the start time is 2 seconds and the end time is 6 seconds. This completes the synchronization between graphic window A and graphic window C, and the synchronization process is complete.

[0032] In some embodiments, the method for determining whether the measurement data display window is in a dormant state includes: It is determined whether the pause indicator of the measurement data display window is true, and if true, it is determined that the measurement data display window is in a pause state.

[0033] The method for determining whether the measurement data display window is in a pause state will be described in detail below using an example. 6, for example, the graphic window "Engine Speed" has a Boolean variable IsPaused, which is associated with the first button on the graphic window toolbar. If the variable is false, it indicates that the graphic window is in the measurement process, and the button displays "Pause." The user can click the button to pause the measurement.

[0034] As shown in Figure 7, when the user clicks the button, the variable associated with the button changes from false to true, identifying the graphic window as being in a paused state, and the button is then displayed as [Run], allowing the user to continue the measurement by clicking this button. The user analyzes the car bus using the idle graphic window "Engine Speed" and the message information window "Engine Trace", both of which have the synchronization indicators set to "DEFAULT".

[0035] As shown in Figure 8, the user drags the graphic window with the left mouse button and observes the time change of the signal curve in the graphic window. When the dragged display time span reaches around 67.6 seconds at the start time and around 68 seconds at the end time, it can be seen that the state of the signal "IdleRunning" has changed from "Idle" to "Running."

[0036] The user wants to view the value of another signal in the message where the "IdleRunning" signal is located at the time when the "IdleRunning" signal changes. At this time, the user switches to the message information window "Engine Trace", which is also in the idle state and has the same synchronization indicator as the graphic window "Engine Speed", so the display time span of this window is the same as that of the graphic window "Engine Speed", as shown in Figure 9.

[0037] As shown in Figure 10, a user can easily determine the change time of the "IdleRunning" signal by simply expanding the message of the frame immediately preceding time 67.9 seconds. It can be seen that the value of the "IdleRunning" signal at time 67.841980 seconds is "Idle" and the value of the signal at time 67.892935 seconds is Running. Knowing that time 67.892935 seconds is the change time of this signal, the user can expand other signals in the message in which the signal at time 67.892935 seconds is located and observe the values ​​of the other signals in the message in which the signal is located.

[0038] Some embodiments further provide a system for synchronously displaying measurement data, as shown in Figure 11. The system includes: At least one bus adapter is configured to acquire a plurality of measurement data from the ECU.

The display displays at least one measurement data display window and / or an interface for displaying a plurality of measurement data display windows synchronously via a graphic interface.
