Data Format

format. ASAM ODS files have the suffix ATFX. EDM also interfaces to other file
formats including NI-TDM, MatLab, UFF, BUFF and user-defined ASCII files.
ASAM ODS (Open Data Service)
The rapid progress in hardware and software leads to storage of data in many
different data base systems as well as under different hardware and/or server
generations. During development and production of complex products, a huge
mass of data is produced. Today, data are stored within the automotive industry
in a standardized format specified by the ASAM ODS workgroup. ASAM stands
for Association for Standardization of Automation and Measuring Systems, and
ODS stands for “Open Data Services”. The CoCo-80 uses the ASAM ODS data
format as the internal data format and data is saved by default in this format
when it is downloaded from the device to a PC.
