Through the use of modular electronics designs and specially designed electronic development tools, the development time and cost of electronic control systems, such as an engine controller or transmission controller, can be reduced. The control system electronics are based on a circuit board which includes the required control system components, including SAE J1708 compatible communications, high-current and low-current outputs, analog inputs, and a number of digital inputs. By using the same electronics, all development tools can be used across all development programs. Several such tools include a remote programmer, serial link development system, and a data acquisition system. Although the use of vehicle electronics is greater than ever before, the use of microprocessor-based electronics has been limited to higher volume products, such as components for monitoring and display.
