Methods of Defining a Vehicle Configuration

A vehicle configuration represents an entire vehicle harness (i.e. all of the harness modules in a vehicle). There are various methods of defining a vehicle configuration in Capital Systems Integrator.

You can use various facilities to define vehicle configurations.

Vehicle Configurations This facility allows you to define vehicle configurations based on harness levels. You must specify the vehicle model that you want to use and the active harness level for each harness in that vehicle model. You then have the option of setting the vehicle configuration as active and routing the signals just for the active harness levels in that configuration. See Defining a Vehicle Configuration Based on Harness Levels for more information.
Configuration Builder This facility allows you to define vehicle configurations based on the selection of validated options. You must specify the vehicle model that you want to use. You can then restrict the list of harness levels that display for selection by specifying which options you want to include or exclude from the vehicle configuration. See Defining a Vehicle Configuration Based on Options for more information about this facility.
Composite Wiring Synthesis As well as manually entering vehicle configurations, you can use the Composite Wiring Synthesis facility to generate the possible maximum complexity configurations automatically. These max-complexity vehicle configurations are added to the list of vehicle configurations in the Define Vehicle Configurations dialog box where they display in bold.
