Test equipment in the field of software by TOPTEST
NI LabVIEW
Test Programming with National Instruments LabVIEW
National Instruments introduces LabVIEW with an industry standard for developing a test environment.
Our staff have years of experience in many areas of this development environment.
Our focus is on automatic test systems.
- Creation of individual VIs (virtual instruments)
- Development of user interfaces
- Integration of external hardware such as programming devices, power supplies
- CAN, CANopen and other protocols
- Integration of script files for test control - for test procedure changes without LabVIEW skills
- State Machines / Sequencer for flow control of the test VIs
- Creation of .NET assemblies for integration into Aeroflex AIDE
- VIs for TestStand applications
- RIO (reconfigurable IOs with NI-RIO FPGA hardware)
- Setting up the generation of log files
NI TestStand
Automated Testing with National Instruments TestStand
TestStand from National Instruments
is a standard software for automatic testing.
Complex and flexible test systems can be created by integrating a wide range of hardware and software modules (e.g. LabVIEW-VIs, C#-Modules).
Some highlights from TestStand:
- Parallel testing
- Integration of PXI measurement, stimulus and communication cards
- Optimisation of flow control
- Integration of data logging
Aeroflex AIDE
Aeroflex AIDE
This programming environment for analog and digital InCircuit and functional test enables high test depth in the realisation of the test tasks. We have many years of extensive experience with AIDE.
- Preparation of the ICT program with CAPG
- Paste into a suitable program frame
- Customising the Pinmaps
- Debugging the ICT program (on-site if required)
- Programming the functional test program
- Debugging the FCT program (on-site if required)
- Implementation of Göpel-Boundary Scan CASCON
- Programming of auxiliary tools, libraries and .NET drivers
- Integration of additional PXI hardware
Aeroflex TPG
Aeroflex TPG
This programming environment for analog and digital in-circuit and functional test was developed for the tester generations 52xx and 5300. We have been involved with test program development work using this test software for 25 years and have a very wide knowledge of various applications.
- Generation of ICT programs with our own tools or manually (AIC or UTP)
- Pasting into a suitable framework program (individual tests, N-up)
- Debugging the ICT program (on-site if required)
- Programming the functional test program
- Debugging the FCT program (on-site if required)
- Programming of additional tools and libraries
- Integration of additional programmer hardware
.NET and C#
.NET und C#
The programming software C# under .NET enables the development of test programs and additional components:
- Independent test programs (developed in C#)
- Development of communication protocols
- Test protocols in custom formats (e.g. XML)
- Development of tools for test diagnosis etc
- .NET libraries for C# and AIDE
- Integration of additional hardware e.g. PXI cards in the Aeroflex 5800 Test System
TOPTEST DrillView
DrillView
DrillView is used to create and display test point plans from CAD data
- DrillView was developed by Toptest for easy visualisation and creation of fixture-drilling data, test point plans, as well as support for wiring.
- Flexible and programmable filters allow reading and processing of almost all netlist data formats.
- The X, Y coordinates and identifiers of the test points are displayed in actual size 1:1 format. Printout via Windows printer driver is also in 1:1 format.
- The test points are shown for all freely definable drill sizes.
- Multi-board orientation and numbering can be freely defined.
- The separation between neighbouring test points is calculated, and can be displayed in the case of a proximity conflict. The acceptable separation threshold is definable. This check avoids problems during fixture manufacture.
- A demo version without memory capability can be downloaded.
