General Dynamics - TEC Serial Software

V I Engineering, Inc., a National Instruments Select Integrator, was contracted by General Dynamics Land Systems to create a diagnostics software package. This diagnostics tool is used to aid both design and field engineers in debugging transmission control problems that are encountered both in-house and in the field after the transmission has been installed in the tank. The Transmission electronic control (TEC) unit regulates the operation of the transmission on both military tank and fighting vehicles. The TEC software also provides the ability of decoding the serial information to determine the category of failure that the TEC unit has identified as the transmission error. There are a total of 16 data types that are sent via the RS-232 communications protocol and a total of 16 different failure classes that the TEC unit is capable of identifying.
