(ASAP2) workgroup. It describes the interfaces, measurements, and
parameters of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU).

stamp and a fixed screen position, i.e. the cursor remains always in
the visible area.
ASCII file
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) stands
for a textual measure file format. It contains one timeline and for
each signal at every timestamp a value, if needed an interpolated
one.
B
Battery Imbalance Table
Instrument type that allows a quick evaluation of many comparable
signals. It is suited for identifying at one point in time the battery cell
voltages with the highest or lowest deviation from the average value
of all assigned signals.
Boolean signal
As opposed to analog signal: a discrete signal for which exactly two
specific values are defined.
Bound
Connection line used to define a region in a scatter plot.
