HV Enclosures with Integrated Safety Test
-
The HV test hood according to Performance Level e (ISO 13849-1), developed by us according to the EN50191 standard (erection and operation of fixed and temporary electrical test installations), offers the highest safety for the operator. The large test chamber is enclosed with a hood made of sturdy, highly insulating and transparent plastic. During the test, there is a clear view of the test specimen. A signal light visually indicates safe opening when the light is “green”. “Red light” symbolises danger, the hood cannot be opened due to the safety interlock. The safety switch also ensures that the hood cannot be opened during the test. This means that the test hood fulfils all the required specifications for compulsory contact protection.

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.

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.

Electronic Loads/Sinks
-
An electronic load offers the possibility of testing the specimen under different loads. Various load changes are simulated, as they can occur in normal operation. For this purpose, the relevant load current is set in a defined range and electronically controlled. For the test, different operating states are either programmed or entered into the system via an interface (USB, RS-232, GPIB...). For easy handling and quick use, there are four operating modes.

Automotive Solutions
-
Over the years, we have acquired profound, specific expertise in a number of areas, especially with respect to RF assembly and antenna technology testing. To give an example, we have acted as general contractor for implementing a number of rotary indexing tables for testing and labelling antenna amplifiers. The implementation as a rotary table has a number of advantages, since all mounting and test processes, as well as the handling of defective parts, are interlocked and concatenated, thereby effectively eliminating possible error sources during these process steps.

LED Burn-In Test
-
Burn-in system, based on LXI instrumentation, for concurrent testing of up to 80 DUTs in a climatic chamber. Devices to be tested include modern light emitting diodes and LED modules.The system consists of 2 control cabinets, each with 40 independent supply and measurement channels. Each channel can be configured individually via the operator software (current or voltage, including the relevant limit values). The software supports logging of current and voltage values for each DUT on all 80 channels with a sampling rate of <1s. Additionally, the software and system also support digital I/O channels, e. g. for controlling the climatic chamber. Inputs for connecting temperature sensors are also provided.

Industrial Automation Solutions
-
LXinstruments FCT systems for industrial electronics assemblies are particularly suited for applications with a large variant diversity for medium volume sizes. They are used for testing utility electronics as well as for drive control and grid management systems. We have also implemented systems for functional test, repair and calibration of decentralized PLC I/O assemblies.Since early failures in the field often lead to enormous costs, we not only provide functional test systems, but also burn-in systems for simultaneous testing of many assemblies in a climate chamber. Due to the modular structure of our software, it is possible to establish a logical separation between the definition of the climatic profile to be executed and the actual test sequence, during which the different electrical tests are processed. Connections to HALT/HASS systems can also be established without problems.

Arbitrary Function Generator 14-bit, 100Msa/s
PXI-5412
Function Generator
The PXI-5412 is a 20MHz arbitrary waveform generator for generating custom arbitrary waveforms and other standard functions such as sine, square, triangle, and ramp. The arbitrary generator generates signals from -6 V to +6 V and uses direct digital synthesis (DDS) to generate precise waveforms.

TMS Test Management Software
LX TMS
-
To diagnose and analyze electronic components and devices, various tests are required in development, production and service. Equipped with all the necessary standard functions, the test sequencer developed by LXinstuments meets all criteria for a successful and smooth test process. The test item ( DUT ) is examined under various operating conditions for its properties, function and usability. Typical areas of application can be found where the usual complexity of test sequences has to be processed. The test sequencer is therefore suitable for small and medium-sized systems where special functions of other sequencers are not required. The free, cross-platform, open source developer platform .NET serves as a starting point. The integrated WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) framework ensures a user-friendly program interface.
