ODXStudio

User-oriented Authoring Tool for ODX Diagnostic Data

ODXStudio gives diagnostic specification engineers, and diagnostic developers a powerful, user-oriented environment to author, edit, validate, and manage ODX diagnostic data with clarity and control. Designed for a native ODX process, it supports you build consistent, standard-compliant diagnostic ODX data faster – from individual ECUs to complete vehicle platforms.

With dedicated support for all ODX categories – ODX-D, ODX-C, ODX-V, ODX-F, ODX-E, and ODX-FD – ODXStudio connects complex diagnostic structures in one efficient workflow. You work directly in the standardized ODX data format, benefit from integrated ODX checker, and reduce manual effort through intelligent authoring support. The result: higher data quality, smoother collaboration across teams, and a diagnostic development process that is ready for today’s and tomorrows complexity.

Advantages

  • Processing of ODX 2.2.0 and 2.0.1 data in native format
  • Standard conformant loss-free “roundtrip” functionality by use of ODX as internal data format
  • Automated check of the described data by using the integrated ODX Checker
  • Quick work results thanks to user-oriented and easy to operate graphic user interface
  • Specialized views for ODX 2.2.0 and 2.0.1
  • Coverage of all ODX categories
  • Clear overview of the executed states for Services and DIDs
  • Export of tabular data to Microsoft Excel
  • Easy import of tabular data for text tables and DTCs from files or the clipboard via an import wizard
  • Import of signals, parameters and DTCs from A2L, DBC, FIBEX, AUTOSAR, XLSX, CSV, CDI
  • Fast loading, editing and saving of even large quantities of ODX data
  • Optimal scalability: from the individual ECU to the entire vehicle
  • Extensive features for support of OEM-specific authoring guidelines

Application Areas
ODXStudio was designed for use by all users who work in an ODX-based diagnostic process and view, edit, process or manage diagnostic data in ODX format. It supports the diagnostics development of individual ECUs up to the level of entire vehicle platforms. It is equally well suited for users working at automotive OEMs and those working at suppliers. ODXStudio processes the data of ODX versions 2.0.1 and 2.2.0, each in native format. This makes it easy to implement cross-version reuse of diagnostic data and a migration to “ISO- ODX” (ODX 2.2.0 = ISO 22901-1) for example.

Key Features

With ODXStudio, users can conveniently and efficiently create and expand ODX data based on master projects. These master projects already include a preconfigured project structure with standard libraries, default values, and best-practice settings. This significantly reduces the initial effort required to create new diagnostic data.

ODXStudio comes pre-installed with a generic UDS master project. In addition, users can derive and reuse their own master projects from existing ODX data in just a few steps. For project-specific requirements, custom master projects with detailed specifications and standards can also be created.

For creating ODX data without in-depth ODX knowledge, we recommend CANdelaStudio.

ODXStudio supports various ODX categories using specialized views. This allows users to focus on their specific use case and edit the information relevant to their task in a targeted manner. Integrated validation mechanisms ensure compliance with modeling and authoring guidelines even during data entry, thereby contributing to high data quality.

Perspective-specific Working

  • ODX Perspective: For ODX experts who create, analyze, and edit diagnostic data in accordance with the ODX specification. All details of the ODX data model are fully available.
  • ECU Perspective: For efficiently authoring UDS ECUs by simply defining supported DIDs and DTCs. This perspective also enables users without detailed ODX knowledge to create ECU data sets. A prerequisite is a master project whose structure follows the ODX Recommended Style (ODX-RS).
  • Process Perspective: For ECU developers and specialists without in-depth ODX expertise. The diagnostic data is presented in an abstracted, process-oriented view and can be edited intuitively.
  • Comparison Perspective: For comparing subtrees, complete projects, or PDX archives. Differences are clearly displayed both at the file level and in detail at the ODX data model level.

The integrated role-based concept preconfigures the visibility of the individual views for specific user groups.

  • Automated quality assurance through the integrated ODX Checker with customizable validation rules, automatic corrections, and support for SOVD-specific validations.
  • Powerful analysis and documentation features with extensive filtering, searching, and sorting options, as well as the ability to generate reports in HTML and RTF formats.
  • Comprehensive import and generation functions, such as importing CANdelaStudio data (CDD) and the automated creation of Flash containers.
  • High performance and scalability for responsive operation when loading, editing, and saving even large diagnostic data projects.
  • ODXStudio Server Edition for server-based validation, processing, and delivery of ODX data. The solution enables integration into automated workflows and CI/CD pipelines, allowing quality assurance and processing workflows to run without manual intervention.

Highlights of Version 14

Flexible Volume Licensing Model for the Server Edition

With the new volume licensing model for ODXStudio Server Edition, customers can use the solution exactly to the extent that meets their actual needs. Especially for sporadic or project-related use, this model offers an economically attractive alternative to traditional licensing approaches. 

Your benefits: 

  • Attractive cost structure even with sporadic use 
  • Greater cost-effectiveness  
  • Full functionality of the Server Edition without restrictions

Select References Faster – With Just a Double-click

Working with ODX-LINKs and SN-REFs is now significantly more efficient: References can be selected and confirmed directly with just a double-click. No additional steps in dialog boxes are required. 

Your benefits: 

  • Noticeably faster processing of references 
  • Greater efficiency in daily authoring 
  • More convenient operation with complex data structures 

Reducing ODX Data in Target-Oriented and Secure Ways

With the new “Save As” function, ODX data can be reduced to AUDIENCEs and/or BASE/ECU VARIANTs. This creates lean, relevant data sets without compromising the consistency of a vehicle PDX. This saves time and reduces manual effort. 

Your benefits: 

  • Secure reduction of complex ODX datasets 
  • Consistent results even after removing unnecessary content 
  • Significantly reduced effort in data maintenance
