Universal Test System for Automotive ECUs

This system is capable of testing various "Body Electronics" ECUs on a single platform.
It is equipped with two independent drawer adapters (tandem adapters) and a corresponding fixture concept. The instrumentation is designed for automotive-typical performance requirements and is based on the standard measurement boards in a PXI-System. This universal test system, is a high-performance tester for various automotive ECUs. The flexible tandem adapter allows alternative testing of one DUT, while another one is being assembled. The double implementation of the entire instrumentation ensures no time delays in the test sequences.

Benefits
