Apparatus and method for reading adaptive values out of motor vehicle control devices
First Claim
1. A device for reading out adaptation values of self-adapting functions from a motor vehicle control unit to an external readout unit, the device comprising:
- a motor vehicle control unit;
an external readout unit; and
a communication interface between the external readout unit and the motor vehicle control unit, wherein the motor vehicle control unit comprises a nonvolatile memory for storing adapted parameters or parameter sets of the self-adapting functions;
a receiver configured to receive at least one test value set transmitted from the external readout unit;
a calculation unit configured to calculate at least one adaptation value as a function of the at least one test value set and the adapted parameters or parameter sets; and
a transmitter configured to transmit the at least one calculated adaptation value to the external readout unit.

Abstract
A device and a method for reading out adaptation values of self-adapting functions from a motor vehicle control unit to an external readout unit are provided. The device consists of a motor vehicle control unit, an external readout unit, and a communication interface between the external readout unit and the motor vehicle control unit, the motor vehicle control unit including a nonvolatile memory for storing adapted parameters or parameter sets of the self-adapting functions. The motor vehicle control unit additionally includes a receiver for receiving at least one test value set transmitted by the external readout unit, a calculation unit for calculating at least one adaptation value as a function of the test value set and the adapted parameters or parameter sets, and a transmitter for transmitting the at least one calculated adaptation value to the external readout unit.

20. A method for reading out adaptation values of self-adapting functions from a motor vehicle control unit to an external readout unit, the motor vehicle control unit storing adapted parameters or parameter sets of the self-adapting functions, comprising the acts of:
-
transmitting at least one test value set describing a test operating point from the external read out unit to the motor vehicle control unit;
calculating, in the motor vehicle control unit, at least one adaptation value from the test value set and the adapted parameters or parameter sets; and
transmitting the at least one adaptation value to the readout unit.
