08 5월 2007 - 6:00PM
Business Wire
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) today announced a strategic
partnership with Mentor Graphics (NASDAQ:MENT), licensing to
Agilent certain products in the Mentor Graphics Volcano(r) product
line. The Agilent LIN Tester, derived from Mentor's Volcano LIN
Spector(tm) product, and the Agilent Vehicle Protocol Tester Series
500, derived from Mentor's Volcano TELLUS(r) product, help
automotive engineers develop electronic products faster and under
budget while meeting quality requirements. The strategic
partnership allows Agilent to provide a more complete solution for
automotive customers: -- Agilent now provides test and validation
tools beyond the physical layer up to the protocol layer,
addressing the increasing complexity of the vehicle network
topology and the need for higher network bandwidth and higher
reliability; -- The Mentor Graphics workflow allows an engineer to
design a vehicle network to correctness by capturing and validating
high-level requirements in the early design phase, then automate
the generation of the communication matrix. This enables a
predictable and guaranteed data communications implemented by
embedded software; and -- Customers using the Mentor Graphics
vehicle network design tools with the Agilent Tester will get
immediate validation results. �Mentor Graphics� extensive vehicle
protocol analysis and node emulation products complement Agilent�s
leading physical layer test tools,� said Roland Jeutter, automotive
business manager at Agilent Technologies Germany. �Customers using
Mentor Graphics� vehicle network design tools with the Agilent test
and validation products will be able to easily verify complex
signal chains and network/signal timings.� �Our partnership with
Agilent allows us to focus on our core competencies, the network
and electronic design tool and embedded software for AUTOSAR and
beyond,� said Joachim Langenwalter, director, Automotive Networking
Business Unit at Mentor Graphics Germany. �With Agilent, the market
leader in test and measurement solutions, our customers will gain a
continuous flow combining the best technologies, from design
thorough implementation all the way to test and validation, far
beyond classical protocol test.� Agilent is demonstrating its new
products here this week: -- The Agilent 500 Series vehicle protocol
tester (VPT501): The VPT501 comes with an intuitive PC software
application, providing easy network timing checks, signal chain
analysis across multiple networks and physical I/Os, complemented
by standalone data logging. The VPT501 has the following
interfaces: -- 2x CAN, 2x LIN; -- 8x digital I/Os; and -- 100MBps
Ethernet link to PC. -- The Agilent LIN Tester: This is a highly
flexible analysis and emulation tool used for the testing and
validation of LIN communication systems. The tool is divided into
two components: an external hardware portion and a PC-based
software portion. It supports both 12V and 24V designs. Some of the
highlights are: -- Full master/slave capabilities of one or more
nodes; -- LIN 2.0 compliant; and -- LIN Go editor to handle
graphical objects. U.S. Pricing and Availability The Agilent J8115A
LIN Tester will be available in July 2007. Pricing starts at
$5,900. The Agilent J8120A Vehicle Protocol Tester (VPT501) will be
available in the third calendar quarter of 2007. Pricing for the
J8120A starts at $9,800. More information about Agilent�s
