Bosch Cd Test Data is a new format for storing and exchanging test data from automotive components and systems. It was developed by Bosch, a leading supplier of automotive technology, to address the challenges of increasing complexity, diversity and volume of test data in the automotive industry.
In this article, we will explain what Bosch Cd Test Data is, how it works, what are its benefits and how to use it. We will also provide some examples of Bosch Cd Test Data files and tools that support it.
Bosch Cd Test Data is a standardized format for test data that is based on the Common Data Format (CDF) specification. CDF is an open and vendor-neutral format that was created by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to store and exchange scientific data.
Bosch Cd Test Data extends CDF by adding specific features and attributes for automotive testing, such as:
Bosch Cd Test Data files are binary files that can be compressed to reduce their size. They have a .cdt extension and can be read and written by any software that supports CDF or Bosch Cd Test Data.
Bosch Cd Test Data works by storing test data in a hierarchical structure that consists of three levels:
The structure of a Bosch Cd Test Data file can be visualized as a tree with branches and leaves. The file level is the root of the tree. The group level is the branches. The variable level is the leaves.
For example, a Bosch Cd Test Data file that contains test data from an engine control unit (ECU) could have the following structure:
Each level of the structure can have metadata and attributes that describe the test data in more detail. For example, the file level could have metadata such as:
The group level could have metadata such as:
The variable level could have metadata and attributes such as:
Bosch Cd Test Data offers several benefits for automotive testing, such as:
