Virtual Instruments facilitate data flow in high precision tests
HBM has developed LabVIEW Virtual Instruments (VIs), giving system manufacturers an integrated option to ensure convenient control in system tests with the simultaneous measurement of high-precision data acquisition from equipment such as HBM's QuantumX family. The compact and flexible system also meets the needs of small and mid-size test benches, such as those used to examine car seats or closing systems.
In addition to gaining full integration of the data acquisition information in LabVIEW, system manufacturers can start with freely defined analogue or periodic signals and output individual analogue values or scaled input signals. The LabVIEW Virtual Instruments are designed to offer all system manufacturers flexibility combined with high measurement quality for demanding test tasks.
HBM's QuantumX family has been designed to optimally meet the data acquisition requirements of system tests while LabVIEW is proven software in test benches because it features programming flexibility.
HBM's MX840A universal amplifier, for example, can operate all commonly used sensors required for functional, environmental and long-term tests while capturing mechanical, electrical and thermal quantities with high precision. It also features CAN channels for communication with electronic control devices while supporting control device protocols CPP and XCP-on-CAN. The addition of the MX879 Multi-I/O module can be used to record states and output switching or setpoint signals.
