Description | Calterm III is an engineering development tool used to monitor Electronic Control Modules for Cummins engine systems and to alter the calibration data contained therein. Calterm III is designed to modify fueling calibration parameters and feature settings in an engineering development and test environment. |
Purpose | The development process for electronic engines requires PC support tools which interface to the electronic subsystem, and its various feature sets. Calterm III is used to increase the productivity of the engineers developing electronic engine features by providing diagnostics, simulation, and value manipulation capabilities for Electronic Control Modules (ECMs). As is the case with most support tools, Calterm III attempts to work with all of the features in the ECM. However, this superset of functionality is not always feasible given the rapid growth and change being experienced in Cummins' electronic systems. As a way to try to give the most support to every electronic engine program, this tool will provide a base set of capabilities which will work on any ECM following the CORE Tools Interface standards. Customized or unique capabilities will then be added, as they are needed. Calterm III was initially designed to support the Global Tool Interface Specification, GTIS, 4.5 and Core-II based software. With the release of Calterm III, version 3.0, support for virtually* all Cummins electronic engines is supported. *CM300 is not supported. |
About Calterm III "Aconcagua" | Calterm III "Aconcagua" 3.0.0 is designed to support all Cummins electronic control modules from Core-1/GTIS Pre-2 to Core 2/GTIS 4.5. Calterm III replaces the legacy tools: Calterm II, NGET, Unlock and Engineering ESDN. Considering the amount of User Interface and functional changes to the Calterm III, version 3.x tool, it is fitting that these builds are associated with Mountain range nicknames. Aconcagua is taken from Cerro Aconcagua. The website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aconcagua describes Cerro Aconcagua as the highest mountain in the Americas. It is located in the Andes mountain range, in the Argentine province of Mendoza. It lies 112 km (70 mi) west by north of the city of Mendoza. Aconcagua is the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere and in the Southern Hemisphere, as well as the highest outside of Asia. New Features supported in Calterm III “Aconcagua” are listed below: · Export from module · Overlay to module · Multiple Logging Rates · Concurrent calibration edit and data monitor sessions · Concurrent logging of multiple screens · Persist all graphical data monitor settings · Monitor tables · Concurrently monitor tables and parameters · Persist editor settings · Edit parameters outside their group · Enhancements to F1 search · Default range-checking and order-checking to “None” · Shortcut method to move between screens |
