Method for connecting an input/output interface of a tester equipped for control unit development

[0050]Described below by way of example with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 is the way in which a tester that can test a hardware implementation of a control unit is configured according to one embodiment of the method according to the invention on the basis of a basic test model of the control unit. To this end, the block diagrams that are shown are described first, after which the exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention is described.

[0051]FIG. 1 shows a basic test model 100 of a fan control. The fan control is an example of a control unit in the meaning of the present invention. The basic test model 100 is present in software and is intended and suitable for a purely computer-based basic test of the fan control. The basic test model 100 can also be referred to as a virtual control unit or as a virtual fan control.

[0052]The basic test model 100 has a first communication interface 102, a second communication interface 104, and a third communication interface 106. Thro
