  1. A&D Automated Calibration Tool: ORION April 25, 2012

  2. ORION is a supervisory test cell control system ORION automates the characterization of engines ORION data is used to optimize engine control ORION supports a variety of DoE and Optimization tools MBC toolbox from the Mathworks Easy DoE from IAV Excel spreadsheet Developed and maintained by A&D and IAV GmbH Overview: What is ORION

  3. Overview: What is ORION? User imports or defines a set of parameters and a sequence of actions to complete the tests Test plan can be DoE from several tools Takes control of ECU calibration system and test bench to run tests using action sequence with setpoints from experiments During test data is collected to be used to characterize the engine Data is then used to optimize the engine in the model based calibration process for optimization
