Symtavision launches SymTA/S 3.1 and TraceAnalyzer 3.1

Embedded World 2012 – 28th February – 1st March 2012 – Hall 4, Stand 327. Symtavision, the global leader for timing design and timing verification for embedded real-time systems, has launched SymTA/S 3.1 and TraceAnalyzer 3.1, major new versions of its seamlessly integrated system-level tools for planning, optimizing and verifying embedded real-time systems.

Targeted at automotive, aerospace, automation and other performance and safety-critical systems, SymTA/S 3.1 and TraceAnalyzer 3.1 include a wealth of new and enhanced features including new Scenario Management, a new FIBEX 3.1 import interface and improved Relative Deadline support. In addition, more than 50 functional improvements have been implemented at the request of customers including Audi, BMW, Bosch, Daimler, Fiat, General Motors, Infineon and Volkswagen.

In SymTA/S 3.1 and TraceAnalyzer 3.1, the new Scenario Manager supports scenario-dependent scheduling parameters such as period and priority, as well as task execution time and CPU/bus speed. It is also fully user-customizable, allowing additional parameters to be covered. Support for the Field Bus Exchange (FIBEX) format has been updated, enabling the import of main system architecture and parameterization data in the latest FIBEX 3.1 file format. This enables the import of CAN and FlexRay configuration data including signals and function to ECU mappings. Improved Relative Deadline support enables deadline values to be automatically aligned whenever a period or task runtime changes.

Working closely with its customers, Symtavision has also implemented more than 50 functional improvements in SymTA/S 3.1 and TraceAnalyzer 3.1. These include a decrease of up to 50% in the memory requirements, enhanced Event Triggering analysis support, and new CAN-bus Load Variation Analysis enabling different load scenarios to be examined by varying message periods. Also included are FlexRay model check improvements, remote interfacing and scripting enhancements, as well as various charting, reporting, documentation and graphical user interface improvements.

About Symtavision

Symtavision® is a leader in embedded design software tools and services. The company enables the rapid and cost-effective planning, optimization and timing verification of complex, safety- and performance-critical embedded real-time systems – from early-phase estimation to final verification.

Symtavision’s innovative scheduling analysis tool suite for system-level timing design and timing verification, SymTA/S, helps engineers conquer design challenges for controllers, processors, bus/networks and complete integrated systems. It is used extensively in automotive electronics with support provided for industry standards including AUTOSAR, CAN, FlexRay and OSEK, and in the avionics industry with support provided for ARINC 653 partitioned operating systems and ARINC 664 switched Ethernet, and time-triggered communication. SymTA/S also provides support for a variety of other industry sectors including the automation, multimedia, telecommunications and transportation markets. Symtavision’s associated TraceAnalyzer is a powerful solution for visualizing and analyzing timing data from both measurements and simulations. TraceAnalyzer seamlessly integrates with SymTA/S.

Symtavision is headquartered in Braunschweig (Germany) with subsidiary offices in Munich (Germany) and Cologne (Germany) and is supported by a global network of distributors. Symtavision is also a founding member of the Real-Time Experts Alliance which was formed in 2008 to provide complete solutions for all timing challenges in real-time systems development.
