Properties

• In-circuit test for all electronic parts
• Flashing of firmware, verification of EEPROM content
• CPU programming
• Stimulant via DUT frequency generator up to 40MHz
• Color balancing and calibration of RGB LEDs in color and brightness
• DUT labeling after Test result and serial number management

This test system has been developed to perform production tests of all families of offered switches, switching clock timers, jalousie switches, dimmers and several displays. The customer emphasizes primarily a high accuracy of the color balancing of the used RGB LEDs. All possible colors of all diodes are measured and balanced so that the human eye can ‘t notice any difference in color and brightness.

CPU programming has been carried out with several different flash programming devices. Controlling of these devices has been done using software, written in the graphical programming language NI LabVIEW. The used ABex® system guarantees high signal quality due to wireless signal routing and freely configurable switching of all devices onto the integrated bus system. 

The test system is based on the PXI platform using the ABex® system extension.

Instrumentation

• PXI function generator National Instruments
• PXI DMM 7.5 digit National Instruments
• Reference clock 0,0075ppm accurate
• PXI scope National Instruments
• KT-AM-301 172x4 switching matrix 128 - 3000 x 4 busses, non-multiplexed 

Using this test system in the SMD production line, the customer can now automatically test more than 50 different applications with several different test adapters in three-shift work. The system is maintenance free and can be used without high training efforts.

Without programmatic changes the customer can integrate new test adapters by themselves in a very simple manner because all instruments and devices are used in multiple configurations.

Due to the high variety of applications the customer uses several identical test systems in its production floor. All test systems are built identically and can test the whole product portfolio. The test programs, parameter sets and limits are provided from the network and can be used from all test systems without redundant data management of the DUTs and complete functional test. Additionally, the build-in RGB LEDs are calibrated in color and brightness
