TRAINING FROM INTREPID CONTROL SYSTEMS

Carl Anthony interviewed Intrepid Senior Field Engineer Jim Meyer about Vehicle Spy Data Logging and ICS training classes. The cost of test vehicles has forced OEMs and suppliers to decrease their testing fleets; engineers are forced to share more, and do more with less vehicle time. Logging data from test vehicles has become crucial in validation and testing. To support these needs, Intrepid now offers Data Logger Training for both wireless and standalone data capture.

Intrepid Control Systems continues its commitment to supporting automotive engineers with hands-on, high‑value training. In a recent conversation with Jim Meyer, Senior Field Engineer, we explored why data logging has become essential in today’s rapidly evolving automotive landscape.
Jim highlighted three major uses for data logging:
- Issue troubleshooting — capturing real-world data to understand and resolve vehicle
or subsystem problems. - Diagnostic test robustness — ensuring fault detection remains accurate across
thousands of production vehicles and diverse customer usage. - Customer usage insights — learning how drivers actually use features like ADAS, wipers, seat heaters, and electrical loads.
As vehicles grow more complex and OEMs push faster development cycles, reliable data becomes critical. With rising warranty costs and expanding communication networks (CAN, CAN FD, LIN, Ethernet), engineers need strong tools and training to keep pace.
