Braunschweig, Germany – 20th September 2012. Symtavision, the global leader for timing design and timing verification for embedded real-time systems, has launched SymTA/S 3.2, its market-leading system-level tool suite for planning, optimizing and verifying embedded real-time systems. SymTA/S 3.2 now featuresSystem-Level Distribution Analysis and AUTOSAR 4.x support. TraceAnalyzer 3.2 now includes scripting support and can be fully integrated with SymTA/S.
The new System-Level Distribution Analysis in SymTA/S 3.2 covers entire systems and gives users the ability to undertake Typical Case analysis where communication paths are not safety critical. As an intermediate analytical step between load analysis and worst-case analysis, it provides further scalability to the timing-design and timing-verification capabilities in SymTA/S. The new System Distribution framework on which it is built also facilitates the rapid development of custom analyses for new technologies. Furthermore, full control over time-triggered and event-triggered activation chains is provided, as is support for system-wide Gantt charts.
As some users begin to transition to AUTOSAR Release 4.0, SymTA/S and TraceAnalyzer Versions 3.2 extend the 3.x AUTOSAR support capabilities available in SymTA/S with the inclusion of a new AUTOSAR 4.x XML import interface covering the same model and parameter sets as exist for AUTOSAR 3.x. With AUTOSAR 3.x still widely used, Symtavision is committed to continuing to improve its support. Therefore, SymTA/S 3.2 and TraceAnalyzer Versions 3.2 also include several feature enhancements to their AUTOSAR 3.x XML interface.
SymTA/S 3.2 and TraceAnalyzer 3.2 also include comprehensive workflow improvements. Most importantly, import, export, scripting and report functionalities previously only available in SymTA/S are now also available in TraceAnalyzer. Furthermore, SymTA/S and TraceAnalyzer now integrate seamlessly through a common data-model and common Eclipse-based GUI. Both tools together behave like a single tool, providing users with greater flexibility in the combined use of SymTA/S and TraceAnalyzer analysis techniques.
“Targeted at automotive, aerospace, automation and other performance and safety-critical systems developments, SymTA/S 3.2 and TraceAnalyzer 3.2 represent important new releases of our market-leading, system-level planning, optimization and verification tool suite for embedded real-time systems,” said Dr. Marek Jersak, CEO of Symtavision. “In determining the new and enhanced features and functionalities to include in our 3.2 release, we have continued to work closely with our customers and listened to their requirements. The new System-Level Distribution Analysis capability, comprehensive usability improvements, including integration of TraceAnalyzer functionality, and AUTOSAR 4.x import support, are a direct response to improvements requested by our customers.”
SymTA/S 3.2 and TraceAnalyzer 3.2 will be available in October 2012. Preview versions will also be available at the 6th annual Symtavision NewsConference for customers which takes place in Braunschweig (Germany) on 26th to 27th September 2012.
