SYSTEM 4000 –1000 Ch, Strain Gauge Measurement Functional Test Systems

Upgraded a 1000-channel strain measurement system to LabVIEW GUI, enabling faster data acquisition, scanner integration, strain analysis, and automated report generation.

Project Scope

    • Building ATE.
    • Designing a custom interface board and Card cage for Interfacing with Strain and Universal Scanners and switching between the Channel set.
    • Upgrading from DOS to Windows OS with LabVIEW GUI.
    • Sensor Calibration and Initial offset TARE.
    • Update and read back the Test Config settings.
    • Acquire all 980 channels’ strain and Linear displacement data as per the Channel Config Set.
    • Test interface board compatibility.

Challenge

  • Upgrading the software written in Visual C++ running on DOS to a Graphical User Interface (GUI)-based LabVIEW program.
  • Interfacing with existing Strain Scanners with no serial communication.

Solution

  • Interfacing with Scanners and Reducing Cycle Time in Recording the Strain Values for different bridge configurations and Excitation Voltages, Plotting the Critical Strain Values, Post-processing, and Report Generation.
