Abstract: A calibration tool assembly is operatively connected to a control unit of a vehicle. The calibration tool assembly includes a plug on device (POD) that is electrically connected to the control unit of the vehicle. The POD includes a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and a debugger port, which is controlled by the FPGA. The POD is operatively connected to the control unit of the vehicle. The debugger port bidirectionally transmits instructions between the FPGA and the control unit for the vehicle to debug and send instructions to the control unit. The calibration tool assembly also includes a hub, which is removably connected to the FPGA. The hub receives all measurement variable data from the control unit through the FPGA for analysis.
