Database API
Woodcreeper
-
LXinstruments Woodcreeper provides a convenient database API for our MySQL test database. It allows manipulation of the database from within the test sequence, for instance when data from upstream process steps needs to be accessed. Third party test systems can also be easily linked to the LXinstruments test database. One license for Woodcreeper comes with the TSCOE4 system license; standalone licenses are also available.

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

Universal Function Test System for Industrial Electronics
Test System
General functional test system based on LXI instrumentation for high mix / low to medium volume manufacturing. DUTs are tested which are mainly used as communication and measurement modules in power plant technology, grid management and electrical drives.The system has a Virginia Panel adapter interface to which various desk adapters can be docked, including automated contacting of the DUTs. A camera for the verification of light emitting diodes on the test object is integrated in the adapter interface.

RF Multiplexer 3GHz, 4 to 1
40-872-004
Multiplexer Module
The 40-872-004 is a 50 ohm 4-to-1 RF MUX available with 4 banks in a single PXI slot. Using modern RF relay technology, it features low insertion loss and low VSWR at an affordable price. Each MUX has been carefully designed to ensure excellent and repeatable RF characteristics up to frequencies of 3 GHz, with each path having a nominally equal insertion loss.

HV Test System for Patient Monitors
Test System
HV test enclosure for testing medical products (patient monitors). Insulated test booth with large space for DUT.3 different test nests for adapting different devices.Displays from patient monitors are checked. For this, insulation tests and leakage current measurements must be carried out. Ensuring the standard-compliant test. For the safety of the operating personnel, the test cell is electrically locked while the high voltage measurement is active.

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.

Protector Conductor Test / Ground Continuity Test / Ground Bond Test
-
Testing the protective conductor is indispensable for assemblies, devices and systems of protection class I because it reduces the risk of life-threatening electrical accidents.The test checks whether the protective earth (PE) fulfils the criteria specified in the standards and can correctly discharge the current occurring in case of a fault.The ground continuity test checks whether the protective earth conductor is connected continuously to all metallic enclosure parts that can be touched by the user. The test can be carried out with low currents and voltages (simple continuity test).

Solar Array Simulator
Simulator
Among other things, solar array simulators are required for testing satellite power supplies. An SAS (Solar Array Simulator), consisting of an interconnection of several Solar Array Simulator modules, maps the solar panels and displays the individual strings connected in parallel. Optionally, the individual SAS modules are monitored by a Second Level Protection, so that the test object is not damaged in case of errors with the voltage sources. Additional circuitry is implemented via project-specific test modules. The signal path to the DUT can be separated, e.g. for dynamic current measurements.The Keysight Solar Array Simulators used were specially developed for satellite applications and cover the significantly higher requirements regarding the control speed of MPP tracking compared to terrestrial applications.

Evaluation and Data Mining
Magpie
-
LXinstruments Magpie is a user-friendly evaluation and data mining application for our test database. The data to be evaluated can be preselected via complex, easily configurable filters. Based on the selected data, it is then possible to create reports and perform statistical evaluations as well as machine capability analyses. The graphical GUI supports easy administration of the database by authorized users.The LXinstruments Magpie evaluation licenses are always linked to the data source, which would generally mean a test system. The test data generated by the test system will be marked as available for evaluation while it is stored in the database.

RF-Antenna Communication Links Functional Test
Functional Test
The application encompasses functional tests of very large quantities of automotive antenna amplifiers, plus parallelization of tests by implementing several test stations in a rotary indexing table. The DUTs are inserted manually and after final assembly, they are loaded into the rotary table; this requires manual triggering by the operator.

Development
-
If possible we use standard market instruments and components. However not every task can be solved technically and economically reasonable. That is when our development department comes to place. Our colleagues already developed many approaches from little, practicable assemblies up to holistic measurement features. These solutions are customer oriented and together with a special firmware this is often a useful solution.
