Automotive Test Applications

EOL Test for Automotive Applications (End-of-Line)

End-of-line (EoL) testers are responsible for testing the overall functionality of the product during the manufacturing process. Under the harsh conditions of the manufacturing environment, test systems must simulate all the relevant conditions, whilst at the same measuring the responses of the...

Run-In Test for Automotive Test Applications like Seat occupancy sensors

Electronic control units in the vehicle are exposed to extreme ambient temperatures during their life cycle. Malfunctions and failures not only involve logistically complex repairs, but also pose a major safety risk in the vehicle itself. Automotive manufacturers therefore require comprehensive...

Prototype Test for Automotive Test Applications

Extensive testing to check technical parameters or integrated functions is conducted after completion of the development phase or even during development. Ambient conditions can be simulated and the responses of the equipment being tested can be recorded. The prototype test is used for early...

Restbus Simulation using Series 61 and software Net2Run

Despite the standardization efforts, the manageable number of bus systems for vehicle control unit networking is countered by a flood of different communication protocols and functional scopes.

To approach a control unit for test purposes via its communication interface, a great difficulty for...

Endurance Test - load parameters are run down thermally and electrically

After completion of the development phase for new vehicle assemblies, the products are subjected to an endurance test. In this test procedure, all load parameters are run down thermally and electrically. It differs from the run-in test in that weak points in the component are already identified in...

Haptics Test for controls / keyboards / steering wheel controls / phones

The term “haptic” comes from the Greek and essentially means “tangible”. Although an individual’s perception of the haptic properties of buttons and controls is subjective, they are a major factor in purchasing decisions. Evidence of haptic quality is not just of interest in the design phase of...

Control Unit Test, ECU Test for Automotive Applications

In Vehicle Network

Modern vehicles - and in particular electric vehicles - are taking on more and more tasks and functions than just driving. In addition to networked electronics during driving, also battery management, charging cycles (charging overnight), maintenance and updates in the parked state are part of the...
