This ETAS product enables users to control systems which accomplish safety functions (e.g. in automobiles, automobile
components and test facilities), to change safety relevant data, or to allocate those for further processing. Hence, the
application of this product can be hazardous. Improper use and unskilled application without adequate instruction and
experience in handling of such products may cause threats to life and physical conditions as well as damages to property.
Our products have been developed and released exclusively for use in applications defined in the product description.
Fitness and suitability of the products for any intended use beyond the utilization for which the products have been
released (e.g. different stresses/strains or technical conditions) need to be verified by the user on own authority by
taking appropriate actions and measures (e.g. by means of tests).
ETAS products made available as beta versions of firmware, hardware and software are to be used exclusively in
•
testing and evaluation. These products may have not sufficient technical documentation and not fulfill all
requirements regarding quality and accuracy for market released series products. Therefore product performance
may differ from the product description and your expectations. The product should be used only in controlled test
environments. Do not use data and results from beta versions without prior and separate verification and
validation and do not pass them to third parties without prior examination.
Do not use this product if you do not have proper experience and training in using the product.
•
To allow proper handling of ETAS products ETAS has released Known Issue Reports (KIR) on its website. Known
•
Issue Reports provide information on known product problems of substantial relevance, including their technical
impact, and give instructions on available solutions. Prior to the initial operation of the product you are required to
verify whether a KIR is available for the current product version and adhere to available information in the KIR.
Known Issue Reports can be found on ETAS website <www.etas.com/kir> (Password in KIR area: KETASIR).
Program code and/or control actions of programs, which have been developed or modified as well as data of any
•
kind, which have been identified by using ETAS products, will need to be verified with respect to reliability, quality
and suitability prior to any use or dissemination.
When using this product with systems which accomplish safety functions (e.g. in automobiles, automobile
•
components and test facilities), that influence system behaviour and can affect the safe operation of the system,
you must ensure that the system can be transitioned to a safe condition (e.g. emergency shutdown or emergency
operation mode) if a malfunction or hazardous incident should occur.
All applicable regulations and statutes regarding operation must be strictly followed when using this product.
•
Use of this ETAS product or any program code, program control procedures in the public domain (e.g. on public
•
roads) should not occur unless they have been tested and verified as being safe in advance. It is therefore
recommended to use the products only in closed and designated test environment.
Read the user manual before starting up the product.
