In addition to the traditional interfacesof it's predecessor systems the new generation MCS5 now also incorporatesJTAG-OCDS or AUD interfaces for ECU architectures based Infineon TriCore or RENESAS SH mircrocontrollers. These high speed interfaces are ideally suited to meet the advanced requirements for high speed data acquisition, fast in-system FLASH programming and for very low latency communication cycles.
   The MCS5 combines this versatile ECU calibration interfaces with powerful data recording capabilities. Virtually any number of signals from any source can be stored into a circular buffer of up to 16 GB size at speeds of 10 MB/s.
    The circular buffer can be emptied at any time - even while the recording is in progress, to allow data recordings without gaps over very long periods. Retrieval of recorded data over LAN or USB2.0 is at speeds of 300 MB/minute. Smart on-the-fly data processing allows previews of the entire recording to be uploaded in seconds. The recorder is fail-safe even in case of power loss and is auto-resuming when power returns.

Also new on board are Analog and Digital I/O ports. These resources may serve as complementary data acquisition input channels or they can be interfaced with the MATLAB/Simulink® run-time system. In a special operating mode the resources are dedicated to the new Crank Analyzer feature.

Built around the Freescale MPC5200, the MCS5 delivers a performance of 760 MIPS, power enough to concurrently serve as a platform to run even very complex MATLAB/Simulink/RTW generated S/W modules. A comprehensive and easy-to-use Development Environment for small models (up to 20 I/Os) is supplied free of charge.
