Definitions:

Late bound mechanism

This mechanism determines the ODX files at runtime. For further information, see ODX specification ISO 22901-1.

Latency time

There are different definitions for latency times (e.g. functional latency that measures how long it takes to cause a specific action). In the context of data communication via an in­ vehicle network, latency time is defined as the time frame between the desire of a sender to transmit a message and the beginning of the transmission. On CAN, the latency time is influenced by the bus load and the priority of the message.

Layer

Logical link

This is the link between a location of an ODX database and the related ECU or a group of ECUs.

Logical link table

This is a list of all logical links of an MCD project. An MCD project is required for the D-server.
