Project Setup#

Customer Base#

A Customer Base links an ASAP project to the file directories used by System Monitor. It ensures that only files associated with the specified ECU are used.

  • Each Customer Base defines an Application within a Project.
  • Customer Bases are associated with Projects via a Multi-Application Base.
  • Editable via the Select Active Multi-Application Base dialog.

Adding or Editing a Customer Base#

Use the Enter Customer Base Details dialog:

  • Customer Base: Unique name.
  • ASAP Project: Must match the project name embedded in the ASAP file.
  • Base Directory: Must be a sub-directory of the Multi-Application Base directory.

Overwriting or removing a Customer Base that is part of a Multi-Application Base will break access to its data.

Multi-Application Base#

Controls access to files and prevents incorrect ECU programming.

  • Contains one or more Customer Bases.
  • Typically set up by the control system supplier.
  • Can be added or removed by Free Users.

Selecting a Multi-Application Base#

  1. Go to File > Select Base.
  2. Choose from available bases in the dialog.

Prime Parameter Override File (.ppo)#

Used to configure prime parameters in logging setups. Format:

App id, parameter identifier, minimum frequency1,vCar,200 1,tTotalShiftTime,500

  • No header line.
  • Minimum frequency of 0 removes the prime property.
  • Requires "Enforce Prime Parameter Requirements" to be enabled.

Free User Status#

A Free User can create and remove Multi-Application Bases.

If you have Free User status, you will see a Multi-Application Base with the name ‘Free User’ in the Select Active Multi-Application Base dialog box and the Add and Remove buttons in the Multi-Application Bases panel are active.

Free Users can select a Multi-Application Base in the usual way. However, if you select ‘Free User’ as your active Multi-Application Base, you will be able to load any ASAP file without restriction. You will also have access to any directories, under the Free User Base Directory, to store any System Monitor files that you create.
