Create new OTX sequence project
Start the OTF, go to the StartPage and follow instructions in the images below.
Insert an Assignment activity
Adjust activity settings
A new variable has been created
Insert a ConfirmDialog activity of HMI extension
Adjust activity settings
Execute your first procedure and look at the Variable Trace window
Adjust settings for ECU communication
![]() |
Important: Please note that this is only possible if a diagnostic runtime system (MVCI-Server) is installed at the PC!
If no MVCI-Server is installed, you can ignore the following steps. |
Insert an ExecuteDiagService activity of DiagCom extension
Adjust Request/Response parameter settings
Bind Response parameters to newly created OTX variables
Execute the procedure and look at the Communication Trace window
Create a procedure parameter for input and output
Add new activity via OTL editor
For experts only! Also the graphical designer can be used. OTL-Editor and designer are fully synchronized.
Please input the following code after the last row in code editor, see picture. You will be supported bny the auto complete feature of the editor.
InOutParameterDeclaration1 = StringUtil.StringConcatenate({"ProductionDate: ", ToString(Day1), "-", ToString(Month1), "-", ToString(Year1)});
The sequence project is done, now start with a simple player
Create a player project to execute it in stand alone OTP
A monitor will be created
The monitor consits of an adjustable table layout with different panels which contain the controls.
