System for Analyzing Door Handles
-
In the production process of a vehicle door handle, the electrical functions of the component are to be tested. The mechanical testing of the operation of the door handle is performed by a PLC-controlled test system. In addition to the mechanical test, the electrical parameters: “serial data stream” and “impedance of the antenna” are to be analysed.

Test for Pacemakers
-
VXI-based functional test system for testing implantable medical electronic products. The system is equipped with a Virginia Panel Series 90 adapter interface and can be operated standalone as well as on handling systems. Based on the previously developed matrix-based standard architecture, a large number of systems were supplied. The system function can be verified at any time via an automated self-test.

Database Evaluation Software
Magpie 2
-
LXinstruments Magpie 2 is a further developed evaluation and data mining application for our test database. The data to be evaluated can be preselected using complex, easily configurable filters. Based on the selected data, reports and trend analyzes can then be created and statistical studies, machine and process capability analyzes carried out. Administration of the database is also easily possible for appropriately authorized users via a graphical user interface.

PCIe Card MX3 Copper Interface
OTP2 module no.183
-
PXI offers the optimal approach to validation and production testing. You can meet timing, synchronization, and throughput requirements across devices. PXI is a robust PC-based platform for measurement and automation systems, supported by software. PXI combines PCI electrical bus characteristics with CompactPCI's modular Eurocard packaging, and then adds special synchronization buses and important software functions.

Test Database Software Module
-
The relational test database is the pivotal point of the software structure. On one hand, this is where the test applications and test systems used for productive testing are stored; on the other hand, it provides the storage space for all DUT-related test data. Depending on customer requirements, the test database may either be hosted locally on the test system or centrally on a server, supporting several test systems. The database performance is sufficient for a high-volume production environment with many test systems which access the central database in parallel. LXinstruments prefers to implement the database as a license-free MySQL database; it is however also possible to realize a version based on Microsoft SQL.

Modular Functional Test Platform
LX-OTP2
-
The OTP² system platform has recently been available in both the PXI and LXI versions. The OTP2 system platform enables the cost-effective and fast implementation of function test systems based on defined modules and function blocks. Thanks to the open system interfaces, customer-specific adjustments can be made at any time without any problems. When considering options for your next generation functional test system, it is important to assess the entire life cycle of the system and the associated costs and efforts. Use OTP² to accelerate development cycles and reduce the development effort for new functional test systems.

Power Distributions
-
LXinstruments Power Distribution Units (PDU) provide all of the functionality required to power a test system in a compact 19-inch rack. This means that devices can be supplied with both mains voltage and DC voltage. With the soft-on-off function, the PDU can be controlled remotely via remote buttons and other potential-free contacts. We carry single-phase devices for the 16 A connection to three-phase devices for the 3x63 A or for the 125 A connection.

Aerospace and Aviation Solutions
-
SCOEs and EGSEs by LXinstruments are used during test and validation of satellite assemblies and modules in aerospace applications. As an example, we implemented solar array simulators, battery simulators and high-power load racks for a German satellite manufacturer for testing satellite power supply systems. Due to the high power ratings, the systems are partially equipped with water cooling. Specialized switching modules were developed for switching DC currents at high voltage levels; these can be programmed with SCPI commands via Ethernet.Our modular OTP² functional test platform is ideally suited for implementing durable, reliable test systems, e. g. for in-flight entertainment applications. Since the OTP2 platform is based on open interfaces, it can be quickly and easily adapted to any required communication busses and ARINC interfaces.

Grid Simulators
-
A grid simulator can be used to simulate the characteristics of low-voltage mains. For this purpose, all voltages and frequencies of the supply networks occurring worldwide can be simulated. Critical states such as short-term voltage dips or voltage peaks (surge/burst) can also be generated.The integrated sequencer function enables the generation of different network parameters, e.g. distorted waveforms and intermediate oscillations. Therefore, grid simulators are well suited for testing conformity to standards and especially for determining the behaviour of electrical equipment in borderline situations. Many European and other international standards are pre-programmed for testing.

OTP-Based Test System
-
Power electronics assemblies often cannot be tested using conventional technology for their electrical performance. Due to the adaptability of the instrumentation, the OTP concept offers an ideal platform even beyond the space requirements of several control cabinets. In order to achieve high test flexibility with different assemblies, the system was equipped with three-phase AC sources and AC loads as well as a precise three-phase power meter. DC sources and loads with different current and voltage ranges cover the test of frequent DUT operating parameters. Time-dependent voltage or current signals can be stimulated by an arbitrary generator with power amplifier. General measurements such as current, voltage, frequency, resistance can be carried out flexibly at various test points using the matrix concept. An oscilloscope with RF multiplexer is available for high-frequency measurements such as residual ripple, switching processes, etc.

Multifunctional Safety Tests
-
Manufacturers of electrical or electronic products are required by law to carry out an electrical safety test before placing them on the market. This final test takes place at the end of the manufacturing process and is therefore also referred to as an EOL test (end-of-line). Depending on the prescribed standard and directive, the following parameters are tested:- Leakage current and discharge current- Insulation resistance or the insulation strenth- Dielectric strength or electric strength- Correct installation of the protective conductor (ground continuity and ground bond test)- Faultless functioning of the product under the conditions defined for intended use (function or run test
