Measurement and Analytics Solutions
Based on our OTP² system platform, we were able to implement a family of scalable test systems which is based on a common systems architecture, e. g. for products in the area of chemical analytics measurement. We not only implemented a universal, extremely comprehensive test system, but also a series of compact systems for benchtop placement which are fully compatible with the larger, universal system. Our specialized self-test adapters and test software enable fast verification of the test systems as well as partly automated calibration by the customer.Our systems are also used in electrical measurement applications, e. g. for calibrating analog input assemblies for PLC technology. For this purpose, specialized calibrators are integrated into the system; they provide traceable calibration of the relevant stimulus signals.

Test Database Software Module
The relational test database is the pivotal point of the software structure. On one hand, this is where the test applications and test systems used for productive testing are stored; on the other hand, it provides the storage space for all DUT-related test data. Depending on customer requirements, the test database may either be hosted locally on the test system or centrally on a server, supporting several test systems. The database performance is sufficient for a high-volume production environment with many test systems which access the central database in parallel. LXinstruments prefers to implement the database as a license-free MySQL database; it is however also possible to realize a version based on Microsoft SQL.

RF Multiplexer 3GHz, 4 to 1
40-872-004
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.

OTP-Based Test System
Power electronics assemblies often cannot be tested using conventional technology for their electrical performance. Due to the adaptability of the instrumentation, the OTP concept offers an ideal platform even beyond the space requirements of several control cabinets. In order to achieve high test flexibility with different assemblies, the system was equipped with three-phase AC sources and AC loads as well as a precise three-phase power meter. DC sources and loads with different current and voltage ranges cover the test of frequent DUT operating parameters. Time-dependent voltage or current signals can be stimulated by an arbitrary generator with power amplifier. General measurements such as current, voltage, frequency, resistance can be carried out flexibly at various test points using the matrix concept. An oscilloscope with RF multiplexer is available for high-frequency measurements such as residual ripple, switching processes, etc.

PXI Infrastructure PXI Mainframe / Components
OTP2 module no.182
PXI offers the optimal approach to validation and production testing. You can meet timing, synchronization, and throughput requirements across devices. PXI is a robust PC-based platform for measurement and automation systems, supported by software. PXI combines PCI electrical bus characteristics with CompactPCI's modular Eurocard packaging, and then adds special synchronization buses and important software functions.

Railway and Traffic Engineering Solutions
In the past, LXinstruments has already implemented a number of application-specific system solutions which cater for these special requirements. These solutions are often used to replace systems which have been in production for many decades. Our systems are not only employed for testing signal box technology modules, but also for testing train control system which are installed in the track bed. Due to the strong magnetic fields which occur at the DUT in combination with high voltages, the test systems require specific technical safeguards.

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).

HV-Test System for Capacitor Packages
The system is used to characterize the leakage currents of capacitor packages. LXinstruments implemented a project-specific PCBA for the required HV switching. The measurement technology consists of Keithley source meters and USB based devices. The DUT adaptation with safety technology was realized in cooperation with ATX.

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.
