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.

Electrical Safety Testing
-
Manufacturers and operators of electrical equipment are required to carry out an electrical safety test within the framework of the applicable regulations. This is to prevent accidents caused by malfunctions in electrical equipment, such as fire, explosion as well as injuries and personal damage. The tests to be carried out are specified in national (VDE/DIN) and international (EN/IEC) standards. After passing the test, the product is considered safe for the entire life cycle, provided it is left in its original condition and used for its intended purpose.

System for Analyzing Door Handles
-
In the production process of a vehicle door handle, the electrical functions of the component are to be tested. The mechanical testing of the operation of the door handle is performed by a PLC-controlled test system. In addition to the mechanical test, the electrical parameters: “serial data stream” and “impedance of the antenna” are to be analysed.

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.

AC / DC - Power Supplies
-
The spectrum of DC power supplies ranges from simple power adapters with only one output voltage to complex controllable power sources. Power adapters, often also called plug-in mains adapters, are mainly used for small electrical appliances (such as telephones, strings of light, notebooks, etc.) in private households. They are included in the scope of delivery of the product and only serve to supply power with a defined output voltage of 6 V or 12 V, for example. The output power is usually limited to < 200 W due to the simple design.

Solar Array 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.

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.

HV Test System for Patient Monitors
-
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.

Testsequencer
-
LXinstruments has many years’ experience in using both the TestStand test sequencer by National Instruments and TestExec SL by Keysight Technologies.The use of test sequencers for functional testing is crucial in order to increase productivity during the implementation and maintenance of the test software. Test sequencers make it possible to decouple the actual product-specific test sequences from infrastructure components like e. g. user interface, data storage, process interfaces and driver libraries. This ensures easy reusability of the implemented software components.

Isolated D/A Converter 8 Channel, 250kSa/s
OTP2 module no.187
-
The PXIe‑4322 is a channel-isolated analog output module with built-in signal conditioning. The module provides accurate, simultaneous dynamic voltage and current outputs. By combining signal conditioning and D/A converters in one device, the PXIe‑4322 isolated analog output module offers smaller dimensions and higher measurement performance. In current mode, the module operates in all four quadrants, allowing current to be drawn and sourced. Thanks to isolation and outputs for higher voltages and currents, the module is particularly suitable for applications in the automotive sector.
