In this on-demand session, you’ll see a practical demonstration of Test System Architect, a free online toolset that enables test teams to go from a basic test sketch to a fully documented schematic and configured system with custom cabling and a complete bill of materials in a matter of minutes.

Watch and learn how to:

• Go from a simple test sketch to a fully configured system in minutes
• Optimize switching, simulation, and instrumentation selection
• Incorporate 3^rd-party modules and DUTs into your schematic
• Map schematics and link pins automatically
• Execute automated cable design to eliminate wiring faults
• Efficiently collaborate internally and with Pickering engineers

In the rapidly evolving landscape of electric vehicles (EVs), the shift towards 800V power system architectures is gaining serious momentum. Our white paper “The 800 V EV Transition: HIL Simulation's Critical Role” explores the reasons behind the move to 800V, the varied challenges this move presents to test professionals, and the pivotal role hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is playing in the transition from 400V to 800V architectures. In addition, we detail how to efficiently create a HIL test platform and outline a detailed migration path for testing 800V architectures.  

Honda Aircraft Company partnered with us to accelerate the development of its HondaJet Echelon, a groundbreaking light jet designed for transcontinental flights. Utilizing Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and real-time simulation, Honda integrated advanced avionics and safety systems into the aircraft, which features over 3,000 real-time signals. We provided a modular LXI/USB chassis and simulator modules to enhance testing capabilities, enabling real-time, deterministic processing of complex signals. 

Cut Program Development Time in Half in 4 Easy Steps with Switch Path Manager  

Discover how to streamline your automated test system deployment with our Switch Path Manager (SPM) signal routing software. SPM automates signal routing through any complexity of our switching systems, and can cut your test program development time in half. This video demonstrates how to rapidly program signal paths by defining the test system endpoints to be interconnected.
