I am reading about the Data-Conversion in Autosar(RTE). I understood using comp-method we can fetch the offset and factor values.

<COMPU-METHOD>
<SHORT-NAME>linear</SHORT-NAME>
<CATEGORY>LINEAR</CATEGORY>
<UNIT-REF DEST="UNIT">kmh</UNIT-REF>
<COMPU-INTERNAL-TO-PHYS>
<COMPU-SCALES>
<COMPU-SCALE>
<COMPU-RATIONAL-COEFFS>
<COMPU-NUMERATOR>
<V>30</V>
<V>2</V>
</COMPU-NUMERATOR>
<COMPU-DENOMINATOR>
<V>1</V>
</COMPU-DENOMINATOR>
</COMPU-RATIONAL-COEFFS>
</COMPU-SCALE>
</COMPU-SCALES>
</COMPU-INTERNAL-TO-PHYS>
</COMPU-METHOD>

In the above example, the formula will be 

F = 30 + 2 * x

But I am not able to understand Compumethod of category SCALE_LINEAR_AND_TEXTTABLE or TEXTTABLE.

<COMPU-METHOD>
<SHORT-NAME>linearAndTexttable</SHORT-NAME>
<CATEGORY>SCALE_LINEAR_AND_TEXTTABLE</CATEGORY>
<UNIT-REF DEST="UNIT">kmh</UNIT-REF>
<COMPU-INTERNAL-TO-PHYS>
<COMPU-SCALES>
<COMPU-SCALE>
<LOWER-LIMIT INTERVAL-TYPE="CLOSED">0</LOWER-LIMIT>
<UPPER-LIMIT INTERVAL-TYPE="CLOSED">300</UPPER-LIMIT>
<COMPU-RATIONAL-COEFFS>
<COMPU-NUMERATOR>
<V>30</V>
<V>2</V>
</COMPU-NUMERATOR>
<COMPU-DENOMINATOR>
<V>1</V>
</COMPU-DENOMINATOR>
</COMPU-RATIONAL-COEFFS>
</COMPU-SCALE>
<COMPU-SCALE>
<LOWER-LIMIT INTERVAL-TYPE="CLOSED">350</LOWER-LIMIT>
<UPPER-LIMIT INTERVAL-TYPE="CLOSED">350</UPPER-LIMIT>
<COMPU-CONST>
<VT>SensorError</VT>
</COMPU-CONST>
</COMPU-SCALE>
<COMPU-SCALE>
<LOWER-LIMIT INTERVAL-TYPE="CLOSED">351</LOWER-LIMIT>
<UPPER-LIMIT INTERVAL-TYPE="CLOSED">351</UPPER-LIMIT>
<COMPU-CONST>
<VT>SignalNotAvailable</VT>
</COMPU-CONST>
</COMPU-SCALE>
</COMPU-SCALES>
</COMPU-INTERNAL-TO-PHYS>
</COMPU-METHOD>

In the above example, I can get the factor and offset values. But what about the Upper and Lower limit values of each compu-scales.We need to use these values also in the formula or these values just used to generate the enumeration macros in ApplicationTypes header file?

The upper and lower values of the texttable part are required for the generation of enumeration macros, they do not contribute to the linear part.

  • Thanks for your response. I have one query, In TPS Software Component Template there is one concept namedTextTableMapping.Which Defines the mapping of two DataPrototypes typed by AutosarDataTypes that refer to CompuMethods of category TEXTTABLE, SCALE_LINEAR_AND_TEXTTABLE.In this, we have TextTableValuePair where we can give the first value and the second value of data prototypes. This values we need to use for data conversion of type TEXTTABLE? – goodman Jun 12 '19 at 05:34
  • Yes, this way you can define how one value at the sending end transforms into another value at the receiving end. – Uwe Honekamp Jun 12 '19 at 05:37
  • Ok..It is applicable for composite datatypes also?. Because for the composite datatype, how can we give text table value pairs to each subelement in the datatype? – goodman Jun 12 '19 at 05:40
  • The InstanceRef takes care of that. – Uwe Honekamp Jun 12 '19 at 06:09
