  • Publication number: 20240202155
    Abstract: The invention relates to a computer system and method having at least one peripheral device, a control module for controlling the peripheral device, and a connection module, which is connected to the control module via a first data link. The connection module has I/O data ports for exchanging pieces of information with the peripheral device, and the peripheral device is connected to one or multiple of the I/O data ports via a second data link. The number of channels in the first data link is smaller than the number of I/O data ports of the connection module. The control module includes a first gateway, which receives pieces of setpoint state information relating to the I/O data ports of the connection module.

  • Publication number: 20240121352
    Abstract: A recording device for a recording of a serialized image data stream from a sensor device. The recording device comprises a deserializer for deserializing the image data stream. To configure the first deserializer, the recording device comprises a configuration device, which records a configuration data stream transmitted by a receiving device for the purpose of configuring a serializer arranged in the sensor device and derives a configuration of the deserializer of the recording device by an analysis of the recording of the configuration data. In an example, the derivation takes place by an abstraction of the configuration of the serializer into a functionality of the serializer, a derivation of a functionality of the first deserializer from the functionality of the first serializer, and a concretization of the functionality of the first deserializer into a configuration of the first deserializer.

  • Publication number: 20230359784
    Abstract: A method for configuring a module for simulating at least one sensor, wherein the sensor simulation is designed and set up to supply synthetic sensor data to a device for executing open- and/or closed-loop tasks via the first data interface of the first type. The method has the steps: a) Receiving a record of a data exchange of a real sensor with the device and/or receiving information about at least one property of the real sensor and/or the second data interface of the first type, b) Reading out the record and/or the information about the at least one property, c) Determining at least one characteristic of the real sensor and/or the second data interface, d) Configuring the sensor simulation and/or the first data interface of the first type using the at least one characteristic such that the synthetic sensor data simulate the sensor data of the real sensor.

  • Publication number: 20230273303
    Abstract: A test bench for stimulating a photodetector, with a light signal device, which includes a planar arrangement of lighting elements that are able to be activated and deactivated independently of each other and which is designed to emit light emitted by any lighting element in an at least approximately collimated light beam, with a converging lens, which is designed and positioned to focus light beams emitted by the light signal device at an accumulation point, and with a retaining device for a photodetector arranged at the accumulation point, by means of which retaining device a photodetector can be placed at the accumulation point in such a way that a first light beam produced by any first light source and a second light beam produced by any second light source hit the photodetector at different spatial angles with respect to an optical axis of the test bench.

  • Publication number: 20220291355
    Abstract: A device and to a method for isolating a trigger signal for a test system of a LiDAR sensor, having an optical element, which is arranged in a signal pat of the trigger signal before a converging lens or a trigger detector and which is designed to allow the trigger signal to pass and to at least partially absorb a back reflection, in particular reflected off a surface, of the trigger signal that has passed through the optical element. A test system for a LiDAR sensor is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20210165657
    Abstract: A module with a functional unit for generating a data stream with a data output for outputting the data stream to a serialization unit provided for receiving a data stream from a serialization unit of a first series. A serialization unit of a second series is set up to serialize the data stream and output it through the data output, and a configuration data input receives configuration data defining a first register configuration of a serialization unit. A mapping of register addresses of the serialization unit of the first series to register addresses of the serialization unit of the second series can be stored in a data memory of the module. The configuration unit is set up to read in the configuration data, to use the mapping, and to configure the registers of the serialization unit of the second series according to the configuration of the second register.
