Abstract

Methods and systems for managing virtual working pages are disclosed. One method includes storing a first set of parameters in a working page within the tested system, where the first set of parameters is used for calibration of the tested system. The method also includes storing a second set of parameters in a virtual working page within an observation system having a plurality of virtual working pages. The method further includes transferring the second set of parameters from the observation system to the tested system. The method also includes storing one or more parameters of the second set of parameters in the working page. A related user interface is also disclosed.

Claims

1. A method in a computer system for displaying on a display device a plurality of virtual working pages, wherein each of the virtual working pages including a set of parameters useable for calibration of a tested system, and wherein the computer system is separate from and interfaceable with the tested system comprising an electronic control unit of a motor vehicle control system, the method comprising:

storing the plurality of virtual working pages in a memory of the computer system; and

displaying a table having columns and rows, at least one column representing contents of one of the plurality of virtual working pages, the rows representing parameters useable for calibration of the electronic control unit.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying in a column contents of a working page of the tested system.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying in a column contents of a reference page of the tested system.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying in a column contents of an original working page of the tested system.
