Functional test

Software

TEST DATABASE:
mySQL or other flexibly implementable databases
OPERATOR INTERFACE:
Test Sequencer Common Operator Environment (TSCOE)
DATA EVALUATION & ANALYSIS:
Data acquisition, filtering and visualization with Magpie
TESTSEQUENCER:
Test Management Software (TMS)
Customisable driver libraries and interfacess

The software is the actual centrepiece of test systems

The software controls communication with the automation technology used, is the interface to the operator and automates the storage of test data for later evaluation. A test system can only provide real added value if the manufacturing processes are continuously optimised based on an analysis of the measured values and weak points in the design can be identified and investigated as early as possible.

The ideal software has the following features

automated execution of reproducible tests with an intuitive user interface in the local language
good visualisation of the test sequences in order to detect errors that occur during the test as early as possible
best possible reduction of the possibility of operating errors through the management of master and test data and the use of barcode readers etc.
automated storage of test data in a relational database with tools to create statistical analyses or test reports at a later date

The class of a test software is ultimately measured by how well the individual software modules can be integrated into a powerful, holistic solution within the customer's process landscape.

The LXinstruments software platform as a whole and all individual software products have therefore been consistently modularised, making it extremely easy to adapt to customer requirements.

The LXinstruments software package includes:

MySQL or MS-SQL test database
TSCOE Operator Interface
The LXinstruments TSCOE (Test Sequencer Common Operator Environment) is the graphical operator/user interface and also serves as an interface for communication with the (automation) technology used for testing.
Thanks to the cross-platform .NET developer platform, the software can be easily integrated into the customer's existing process structures. Thanks to the modular design, the test environment can be expanded or reduced as required.

Support for various test sequencers (LX-TMS, NI TestStand, Keysight TestExec SL)
The test sequencer TMS (Test Management Software) developed by LXinstruments fulfils all the criteria for a successful and smooth test procedure. Test plans and sequences can be created via the graphical user interface without a great deal of programming effort. TMS is particularly suitable where the usual complexity of test sequences needs to be processed. The test sequencer is therefore suitable for small and medium-sized systems where special functions of other sequencers are not required.

Magpie data mining and analysis software
The Magpie evaluation and data mining application of the LXinstruments software is a powerful tool for managing and analysing measurement data. The data to be analysed can be made available from the central database server or from a decentralised test database and preselected using easily configurable filters. Frequently used filters can be saved for quick reuse.
