Bransjer vende seg til Ethernet for deres kommunikasjonsnett i kjøretøy for å levere data fra høybåndsbredde fra sensorer til systemer. Det er en visjon om å ha en Ethernet-ryggradssammenhengende komponent innen utgangen av 2018. Standard OABR (Open Alliance BroadR-Reach) akselererer nå utviklingen av Ethernet-komponenter. Klassiske bussystemer som CAN eller Flexray ble designet for å levere kritiske kontrollmeldinger i sanntid. Kravene til sanntid må løses for Ethernet-arkitekturene, siden Ethernet-teknologien ikke ble opprettet for å være en sanntids kommunikasjonsbuss. 10:20 - imc revolusjonerer bil testing: enklere, raskere og mer fleksibel enn noensinne Andrew Jesudowich, applikasjons salgssjef, imc DataWorks LLC, USA Presentasjonen vil diskutere hvordan den utvidede imc test og måleporteføljen muliggjør raskere og mer effektiv kjøretøy testing .

Ny IMC CANSASfit er velegnet til mobil testing i tøffe miljøer. Det robuste huset gir pålitelig beskyttelse mot vannsprut, smuss og vibrasjoner. Et temperaturområde fra -40 til 125C gjør det mulig å teste året rundt og i klimakamre. Ny imc WAVE lyd - og vibrasjonsanalyseprogramvare gjør det mulig for kunder å utføre støymålinger, strukturanalyser og vibrasjonsundersøkelser og samtidig oppdage andre målevariabler. 10:40 - ETAS EHANDBOOK - Nytt interaktivt dokumentasjonsverktøy gjør ecokalibrering enklere Jayesh Patel, programleder, ETAS Inc, USA Det siste tiåret har fiberoptiske sensorer (FOS) blitt avansert og fremstår som et passende alternativ til tradisjonelle elektriske sensorer , men få mennesker innser potensialet og fordelene med denne teknologien. FOS består kun av glass, FOS er egentlig sikkert og gir fordeler over elektriske sensorer, de er ikke følsomme for elektromagnetisk interferens (EMI) og kan oppnå høyere målingsnøyaktighet. Denne presentasjonen vil fremheve optisk sensorproduksjon og real-world applikasjoner av FOS versus konvensjonelle strekkmålere i bransjer, inkludert bil-, olje - og gass - og romfart. Deltakere vil forlate økt forståelse fiberoptiske sensorer og fordelene de tilbyr. 11:00 - Testing av bilsikkerhet og testing på tross av sikkerhet Philip Lapczynski, programleder, Vector CANtech Inc, USA Vi er alle klar over det voksende behovet for cybersikkerhet i bilindustrien. Denne presentasjonen fokuserer på to ting: 1) Det voksende behovet for sikkerhetstesting i bilindustrien 2) Utfordringene i testene opprettet ved innføring av sikkerhetsmekanismer. Vi vil diskutere sikre ingeniørpraksis som automatisert funksjonell testing (hvit boks), fuzz testing (svart boks) og testing av et system med sikkerhetsmekanismer på plass. 11:20 - MaDaM måledatahåndteringsløsningen Dr Bernhard Snder, administrerende direktør, AMS GmbH, TYSKLAND Basert på praktiske brukstilfeller på store OEM-er, vises fordelene og begrensningene til moderne måledatastyringssystemer. Indekseringsteknologi (Lucene) og forbedrede søkemuligheter, høyt interaktiv HTML5 og trafikkminimering EnCom er nye teknologier utviklet de siste fem årene. Med prøver fra AMS-produktet MaDaM, er fordelene av disse nye teknologiene demonstrert. Måledatastyringssystemet MaDaM kombinerer moderne tilnærminger til datalagring og indeksering med webteknologi for mobil og desktop-tilgang. Den gir en serverbasert rapport på forespørsel eller interaktiv dataanalyse i et web-basert miljø med brukervennlig fulltekstsøk. Dette gjør det mulig for store dataløsninger. 11:40 - Effekten av dekkdatakvaliteten på kjøretøyets ytelsesprediksjon Henning Olsson, direktør, RD, Calspan Corporation, USA Laboratory dektesting gir dekkdata som, når de brukes på riktig måte, kan bidra til å akselerere kjøretøyets utviklingsprosess. Med dekkdata og dekkmodeller som brukes til mange forskjellige applikasjoner, må effektene av datakvalitet og nøyaktighet vurderes. En undersøkelse har blitt utført for å kvantifisere virkningen av disse effektene på kjøretøyets ytelsesspådommer. Eksempler fra personbil og lastebilapplikasjoner presenteres og konklusjoner diskuteres. 12:00 - Teknologi for en diagnostisk tester med beskyttelse mot nettkriminalitet Peter Subke, direktør forretningsutvikling, Softing AE GmbH, TYSKLAND Presentasjonen vil introdusere en toppmoderne diagnostisk tester bestående av en MVCI D-Server (ISO 22900) som behandler data som er beskrevet i ODX-format (ISO 22901) og sekvenser som er beskrevet i OTX-format (ISO 13209). Spesielt for diagnostisk kommunikasjon over luften, f. eks. For en programvareoppdatering må det tas tiltak for å beskytte mot cyberangrep. Eksempler inkluderer, men er ikke begrenset til kryptering av data og sekvenser og signaturteknologier. 12:20 - Nye teknikker for å automatisere analyse for tekniske data Stephanie Amrite, senior produktleder, National Instruments, USA Du samler mye data, men industriforskning viser at i gjennomsnitt kun 5 analyseres. Dette skyldes en kombinasjon av grunner som dårlig dokumentert data, og variasjonen og volumet av datakilder som kundene bruker. For å hjelpe deg med å løse dette problemet, investerer NI i teknologier for å automatisere analysen av ingeniørdata enklere enn noensinne, inkludert muligheten til å standardisere metadata fra en hvilken som helst datakilde og velge hvilken analyserutine som skal kjøre basert på dataene. 12:40 - DC-hurtigladningstesting ved forskjellige temperaturer Rich Jacobson, driftsleder, Intertek Phoenix, USA Plugg-in elektrisk kjøretøy (PEV) - industrien markedsfører DC-hurtigladning som en metode for å gi opptil 80 av full ladning på 20 -30 minutter. Ladningsraten varierer imidlertid sterkt avhengig av temperaturene for omgivelses - og energilagringssystemet (ESS). I denne studien blir ladningsakseptasjonsratene for en rekke PEVer sammenlignet, og effektene av det termiske styringssystemet (TMS) på ladningshendelsen utforskes. Testet PEVs inkluderer 2011 og 2013 Nissan Leaf, 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Volkswagen e-Golf, Kia Soul EV, Chevrolet Spark EV og BMW i3. 13:00 - Vei til LTE: Tilkoblede biler, LTE veikart og testløsninger Craig Hendricks, senior tekniker, Anritsu US Automotive Focus Team, Anritsu Company, USA Cory White, Nord-Amerika Business Development Mgr, Automotive Sector, Anritsu Company. USA Med den lange produktutviklingssyklusen til biler og økt utnyttelse av LTE for tilkobling er det viktig å forstå veikartet for nye LTE-utviklinger i nettverk og brikkesett. Auto beslutningstakere må investere i disse teknologiene for å holde seg foran teknologien, og tilby forbrukerne den mest oppdaterte tilkoblingen. Denne presentasjonen vil gi LTE-teknologi veikart fra 4,5G til 5G og utforske testløsninger som er tilgjengelig for å bringe teknologien til markedet via tilkoblede biler. 13:20 - Next Generation PEMS (mindre, lavere kostnad, mer energieffektiv) Andrew Burnette, vitenskapsrådgiver, 3DATX, USA Testutvinningsbransjen i bruk, akademisk forskning og andre sektorer har presset for mindre, lettere, kostnad og, enda viktigere, lavere energiforbruk bærbare utslippsmålesystemer (PEMS). Selv om det er en forståelig naturlig spenning her for de mer etablerte PEMS teknologiprodusentene, er det verdt både å anerkjenne dette og vurderer ruter og barrierer for et slikt neste generasjons system. Nylige testresultater for et neste generasjons PEMS-system vil bli presentert, sammen med dagens tenkning på hvor det med rimelighet kan brukes for å redusere utslippene på en kostnadseffektiv måte. 13:40 - Avanserte kraftemulatorer for kraftsystemutvikling og testing William Peterson, Vice PresidentCTO, EM Power, USA High-fidelity DC-strømforsyning og omformerstesting av omformer er gjort oppnåelig ved bruk av avansert kraftemulering. En aktiv lastemulator kan etterligne alle egenskapene til en motorgenerator ved full kraft i alle fire kvadranter uten bevegelige deler. En DC-emulator kan gi bredbånd til 20kHz simulering eller emulering av likestrømssystemet. Evnen til å feie ved full kraft, til frekvenser over byttefrekvensen, sørger for full karakterisering av systemresonanser og egenskaper. 14:00 - Avanserte fysikkbaserte sensorsimuleringsmetoder for testing av ADAS-systemer Tony Gioutsos, direktør salg og markedsføring, TASS International, USA For å gi en forsiktig forsiktighetsprøve til automatisert og tilkoblet kjøretøyteknologi, må en avansert sensorsimulering involvert. For å gi den mest nøyaktige og beste validering, vil imidlertid sensorsimulering nærmest rådata foretrekkes. Avanserte fysikkbaserte sensormodeller med deterministiske og probabilistiske komponenter blir introdusert. Modellene som er beskrevet inkluderer: kamera, radar og V2X. 14:20 - En åpen systemtilnærming til BMS HIL-testing Peter Blume, president, Bloomy, USA Testing av maskinvare-i-en-loop (HIL) er en viktig tilnærming for å validere maskinvare og fastvare av en bil-ECU, inkludert batteristyring system (BMS) elektronikk av hybrid og elektriske kjøretøyer (xEVs). En HIL-simulator brukes til å simulere xEV-batteriet, inkludert cellekjemi, kjørecykluser og mange feilforhold, uten farene ved ekte batterier, eller prisen på prototypebiler og sportid. I denne sesjonen presenterer Peter en åpen systemarkitektur-tilnærming til implementering av HIL-testsystemer ved hjelp av kommersiell maskinvare og programvare, inkludert batterisimulatorer. 14:40 - RDDS, state-of-the-art kontrollsystem for enkel oppgradering av eksisterende teststasjoner Jrg Cordes, president, Renk Systems Corporation, USA Presentasjonen vil diskutere et programvarehardware konsept for å kontrollere nye eller eksisterende testsystemer.

Siemens vil diskutere ulike teststandsapplikasjoner, inkludert batterisimulering, og hvordan de eksepsjonelt høyytende SINAMICS-stasjonene kan strømlinjeforme og øke produktiviteten til applikasjonene dine. 15:40 - VOC miljøvurdering automotive applikasjoner hva du trenger å vite Ben Pipher, applikasjons ingeniør - Automotive forretningsenhet, Weiss Envirotronics, USA Flyktige organiske forbindelser (VOC) må være begrenset i personell kjøretøy applikasjoner. Å forstå produktet og samspillet med andre kjøretøykomponenter og omgivelsene er avgjørende for produktutvikling og produkt - og luftsikkerhet. Miljøtestkamre spiller en kritisk rolle i testing av bilkomponenter og VOC. Sikkerhetskravene må være på plass ved testing av kjøretøyinteriør, som partikkelmåling, absorpsjonshastigheter, forurensninger fra nærområdet og ventilasjonssystemer. Denne presentasjonen vil gi relevant informasjon og veiledning om hva du skal se etter i produkttestfasen med interiør, og hvordan du begrenser VOC-elementene. Vi vil se på industriens testkrav, inkludert ASTM VDA, ISO og andre testspesifikasjoner. Presentasjonen vil også se hvordan du får mest mulig ut av ditt miljøtestutstyr, og riktig testapplikasjoner med VOC-materialer. 16:00 - Opprett testprofiler som er korrelert med flere bruksmiljøer ved hjelp av FDS Kevin Van Popering, søknad egineer, Vibration Research Corp, USA. Den første utformingen av produktet ditt er gjort nå er det tid for vibrasjonstesting. Vibrasjonsnivåer produktet vil oppleve er samlet fra feltmålinger tatt i sluttbruksmiljøet (EUE). Hvor lang tid produktet vil oppleve disse vibrasjonsnivåene gjennom hele levetiden er kjent. Hvorfor ikke ta disse feltmålingene og mållevetidene og konvertere dem til en vibrasjonsprofil korrelert med EUE Fatigue Damage Spectrum (FDS) gjør akkurat det. Denne presentasjonen vil beskrive teorien og demonstrere prosessen med å skape en testprofil fra flere EUEer som bruker FDS fra start til slutt. 16:20 - Legge til HIL til kjøresimulatoren Ken Jackson, senior vice president, LinuxReal-Time, Samtidig, USA Simulasjonsverdenen utvikler seg til et mer komplett miljø som samtidig kan teste og verifisere bilens dynamikk og et nytt design av kjøretøyene. kontrollere. Tidligere var ECU-testing mer entall i rekkevidde og ble forvist til å teste individuelle komponenter. Den nye tanken er å integrere alle aspekter av kjøretøyet fullt ut før produksjonsutgivelsen. Tilkobling av ECUene til kjøre-simulatoren gir full test av bilens evner og funksjonalitet. For å utvide dette til autonome kjøretøy krever en multimodalsimulering å dele gjensidige data samtidig som en høy rammehastighet opprettholdes. Onsdag 26. oktober 10:00 - 16:00 - DAG 2 Moderator William Doelle, regissør Nord-Amerika, Berghof Group Nord-Amerika, USA 10:00 - Fiber Optic Sensing, et synlig alternativ Nicholas Burgwin, grunnlegger, fibos, CANADA Tidligere tiår har fiberoptiske sensorer (FOS) blitt avansert og fremstår som et passende alternativ til tradisjonelle elektriske sensorer, men ikke mange innser potensialet og fordelene ved denne teknologien. FOS består kun av glass, FOS er egentlig sikkert og gir fordeler over elektriske sensorer, de er ikke følsomme for elektromagnetisk interferens (EMI) og kan oppnå høyere målingsnøyaktighet. Denne presentasjonen vil fremheve optisk sensorproduksjon og real-world applikasjoner av FOS versus konvensjonelle strain gauges i bransjer, inkludert transport, olje og gass og luftfart. Du vil forlate økt forståelse fiberoptiske sensorer og fordelene de tilbyr. 10:20 - Etterbehandlingstestingsutstyr som replikerer sanntidens forbigående avgassforhold Jonathan Stewart, teknisk ekspert, Catagen, UK Denne studien beskriver en syntetisk gassreaktor som er i stand til å produsere et bredt spekter av RDE-testscenarier, inkludert WLTC, SULEV og NEDC test sykluser . Systemet har mulighet til å reprodusere forbigående sykluser for et bredt spekter av motortyper, med prøvetemperaturer fra -10 C til 800 C. Tilnærmingen er iboende nøyaktig og repeterbar. Den er også ideell for følsomhet, kalibrering og ytelsestesting, og er designet for å hjelpe kundene med å møte utslippsmål. Resultatene fra systemytelsen presenteres for WLTC-syklusen for et lettdrevet dieseldrevet kjøretøy, og sammenlignet med ekte motordata. 10:40 - PIA-økonomisk injeksjonstest for alle miljøer William Doelle, Nord-amerikansk operatør, Berghof Group Nord-Amerika, USA PIA-familien er en testutstyrsfamilie designet for drivstoffinnsprøytning og pumpeforskning, produksjon og validering, kontroll av piezo og solenoid sprøytebrukere. Profiler opprettet i RD-laboratoriet kan brukes til å kalibrere injektorer eller pumper i en teststasjon EOL (slutten av linjen), bekreftet av PIA ved valideringstesting. Før bakgrunnen av de siste trender innen bilprov, vil PIA og utviklingen sammen med kunder og leverandører være vår fokusutvikling som førte oss til å sette opp et forum som handler om fremtiden for motorens motordel: Berghof Testing Powertrain Innovation Day. 11:00 - En bedriftstilnærming til motortestanalyse: krav til implementering Bruce Thomason, teknisk direktør, SGS, USA Motor og kjøretøy OEM har komplekse krav til produktutvikling som krever kvalifisert og standardisert posttestanalyse samtidig som de håndterer høye nivåer av produktteknologi og testdiversitet. Mange organisasjoner stole på delte regneark eller distribuerte desktopverktøy, som kan produsere inkonsekvente og ikke-sporbare resultater. Denne presentasjonen behandler krav til etterbehandling, funksjoner og implementeringshensyn i bedriften, i tillegg til å gi erfaringer som kan bidra til å flytte en organisasjon til en effektiv, standardisert og vedlikeholdbar profesjonell prosess. Presentasjonen vil dekke hvordan man skal håndtere mangfoldet av produkttopologi, fysiske komponenter, væskeegenskaper, måleusikkerhet, navngivningskonvensjoner, sporbarhet og IT-arkitektur. 11:20 - Guidet og automatisert kalibrering ved hjelp av ETAS INCA-FLOW Rajesh Reddy, produktleder, ETAS, TYSKLAND ETAS INCA-FLOW er en revolusjonerende tilnærming for automatisering og styring av kalibrering. Den letter grafisk spesifikasjon av kalibreringsprosedyrer uten å kreve programmeringsevner. Kalibrering av bensin og dieselmotorstyringssystemer er en utfordrende oppgave som i stor grad er repeterende med hensyn til spesifikke kundeprosjekter. Ved bruk av INCA-FLOW kan kalibreringsprosessen settes opp for en ECU-variant og deretter gjenbrukes for andre, noe som kan øke kalibreringseffektiviteten betydelig. I tillegg kan målingene enkelt gjengis, noe som fører til klare forbedringer i kalibreringskvaliteten. De samme standardiserte kalibreringsmetodene kan brukes til alle kalibreringsinfrastrukturer. 11:40 - ADAS automotive radar test utfordringer og løsninger Greg Kregoski, bilbransjesegment manager, Rohde Schwarz, USA For å holde overføringseffektnivåene lave og rekkevidde oppløsning av radar biler, FM-modulerte kontinuerlige bølgesignaler med høy båndbredde brukes vanligvis i bilindustrien radarapplikasjoner. Drift i frekvensbåndene 24 og 77 GHz utnytter bilradararene av disse frekvensene og deres høye atmosfæriske demping, slik at mange bilradarsystemer kan operere samtidig uten å påvirke hverandre. Denne presentasjonen gir en oversikt over dagens automotive radarteknologi, test - og målingsteknologi som brukes til radar og nye radarmål simuleringsenheter. 12:00 - Korrelasjonen mellom rullemotstand og dekkmodulprofiler Alan Bennetts, regissør, Bay Systems Ltd, Storbritannia Presentasjonen vil diskutere utviklingen av en ekstern sensor som nøyaktig (- 0.2C) måler en rekke punkter som strekker seg fra perle til perle. Data fra en rekke dekk vil bli presentert, og viser hvor varme genereres og korrelerer sluttemperaturen med den klassiske avledede rullemotstanden. Spørsmål som stilles vil inkludere effekten av overdreven temperatur på antallet og størrelsen på partikler som skjules av dekket. 12:20 - Testing av kompositter ved bruk av high-definition fiberoptisk avkjenning Naman Garg, programansvarlig for feltapplikasjoner, Luna Innovations, USA Luna Innovations of Blacksburg Virginia, har utviklet et HD-FOS-system (HD-FOS) som er perfekt egnet for måling av belastning av komposittmaterialer og konstruksjoner. En enkeltfibersensor kan erstatte tusenvis av strain gauges, og med sin fleksibilitet og lette vekt kan den brukes til instrument på vanskelige steder. Fiberen, med bare 150 mikrometer i diameter, kan også være innebygd i komposittdeler. Bruken av komposittmaterialer innen bildesign vil fortsette å vokse, og det er avgjørende at testingeniører forstår de unike utfordringene ved å teste komposittdeler og konstruksjoner. 12:40 - Piezoelektrisk måling gjør det enkelt å få kraftig signalbehandling fra Kistler Bill Zwolinski, SBU-leder, akselerasjon, Kistler Instrument Corporation, USA Kistlers ladningsforsterkermodul Type 5171A er direkte koblet til National Instruments CompactRIO-plattform. Signalene til en eller fire piezoelektriske sensorer blir digitalisert og deretter behandlet i sanntid. Alt er programmert med de kjente utviklingsverktøyene for LabVIEW, slik at brukerne kan skape tilpassede løsninger. Type 5165A Kistler LabAmp dual-mode forsterker forsterker ikke bare de dynamiske signalene med svært lav støy, men gir også digitalisert data via Ethernet-grensesnitt. Takket være sin avanserte signalbehandling gir den enestående fleksibilitet og brukervennlighet. Med GUI-kontroll eller bruk av LabVIEW-utviklingsverktøy kan brukerne lage skreddersydde løsninger. 13:00 - Problemer med kurtosis som en tilfeldig vibrasjonsspesifikasjon Dr Benjamin Shank, ingeniør, Thermotron Industries, USA Denne snakk er et sammendrag av erfaringer med utviklingen av kurtosis-algoritmer for en vibrasjonskontroller. Det siste tiåret har hatt en tendens til å håndtere ikke-stasjonær vibrasjonskraft ved å kontrollere kurtosis av tilfeldige tester. Basert på Miners Rule og tretthetskader spektra, viser testing med kurtosis å alltid levere skade langsommere enn SRS-ekvivalente tester uten kurtose. Videre er det mange ikke-ekvivalente måter å imøtekomme en kurtosis-spesifikasjon på, noe som betyr at produkter som testes i samme spesifikasjon av forskjellige kontroller, sannsynligvis vil få signifikant forskjellige mengder tretthetskader. 13:20 - Suksess gjennom fiasko: bruk av akselerert stresstesting for produktsikkerhet Rich Byczek, global teknisk ledelse, Intertek, USA Failure er bra for suksess, og Intertek har midler for å bevise det. Denne presentasjonen vil vise hvordan man bruker akselerert stresstesting (AST) for å oppnå høy produktsikkerhet for misjonskritiske komponenter. Dette programmet vil dekke en rekke elementer, blant annet: hvordan du får de riktige tingene for produktutviklingsarbeid, unngå mislykket validering, konvensjonell testing vs akselerert stresstest, hvilke AST testmetoder som er tilgjengelige (FMVT, HALT og mer), en dypere dykke inn i HALT og FMVT, hvordan å utvikle en smart testplan, og mer. 13:40 - Forenkling av konformitetsprøving av alle nye nettverkskrav i kjøretøyet Thomas Schulze, leder for testing, bilindustrien, Spirent Communications, TYSKLAND Ethernet som den nye nettverksstandarden for innbyggere for infotainment og forhåndsførerhjelpssystemer, kommer med en rekke nye standarder som må testes på enheten eller programvaren under utvikling. Testprosessen skal være enkel, men pålitelig, repeterbar og må være godt dokumentert. Denne presentasjonen vil vise metoder og verktøy for å implementere disse testprosedyrene på eksisterende testbenker eller hvordan du setter opp en ny for å redusere kostnadene ved testing og tiden til markedet med forbedret produktkvalitet. 14:00 - Utvikling av et energidistribusjonsdiagram for dørets holdbarhetstest Dr Yanwu Xu, senior ingeniør, Ford, USA Energidistribusjon mellom komponenter under dørslamme er en av de viktige designparametrene for produktutvikling og holdbarhetsprestasjonstesting. Under bruk av kjøretøy distribueres kundeinngangsenergien hovedsakelig på dørplater, dynamisk tetning, kontroll, hengsel og sperre, samt kropps - og hyttluft. Energidistribusjonen på hver av komponentene varierer med designparametrene og de fysiske egenskapene til døren. Denne presentasjonen gir en metode for etablering av energidistribusjonsdiagram med matematiske modeller. Som en av diagramapplikasjonene, er det vist på innsiden av holdbarhetstester på forskjellige nivåer. 14:20 - Digital image correlation ikke-kontaktende belastningsmålesystemer Alistair Tofts, direktør for salgsmarkedsføring, Correlated Solutions Inc, USA Digital image correlation (DIC) er en ikke-kontaktende målingsteknologi som har fått stor popularitet på grunn av total robusthet, allsidighet, brukervennlighet, nøyaktighet og kostnadsbesparelser. DIC benytter digitale kameraer til å måle 3D-overflateforskyvninger og - stammer på fullfelt, og eliminerer behovet for strain gauges og andre måleinstrumenter. På grunn av sin fullfeltmålingskapasitet og høy romlig oppløsning, har DIC vært spesielt populært for applikasjoner som krever endelig validering av endelige elementmodeller. En oversikt over de nyeste nøkkelferdige systemene som er tilgjengelige med noen automotive testing applikasjoner, vil bli presentert. 14:40 - Oppnå effektmålingsnøyaktighet for dynamiske PWM-signaler Jack Christensen, leder, teknisk støtte - Americas, Newtons4th NA, USA Presentasjonen vil diskutere betydningen av riktig teknikk, krav til presise spennings - og nåværende fasevinkelmålinger og oppkjøp synkronisering av flerfasesystemer for å bestemme riktig mekanisk og elektrisk effektivitet. 15:00 - Innovativ elektrisk og mekanisk filtrert sensorteknologi David Change, visepresident teknisk direktør, Dytran Instruments Inc, USA Dytran presenterer bransjens første case-isolerte, mekanisk og elektrisk filtrert IEPE triax 3603A. Det indre sensingelementet er opphengt inne i huset ved hjelp av et sett med spesialdesignede støtter som er utformet for å stoppe høyfrekvent forplantning i elementstrukturen, og forårsaker at sensingselementet resonerer i forhold til huset på rundt 10 kHz. Det innebygde elektriske filteret er i stand til å utjevne sensorutgangen til en flat linje opp til 8kHz-regionen. Dempingen av mekanisk resonans pluss det topolede elektriske filteret gir effektiv -24dBoctave-signalreduksjon med en hjørnefrekvens nær 10kHz. 15:20 - Meget langsom hastighet og vinkelposisjonskontroll for dynamometer systemer Richard Rumer, senior søknadsingeniør, Horiba Instruments Inc, USA Med kjøretøyelektrifisering har motoren blitt et komplekst fremdriftssystem som krever validering, verifisering, kalibrering og holdbarhetstesting ved en utvidet driftsområde, som inkluderer stillestilling og rotasjonshastighet under 50 rpm. Ved å opprettholde nøyaktighet og stabile kontroller gjennom et hastighetsområde på 0 til 24 000 rpm uten å endre instrumentering, har Horibas dynamometerkontrolleren, kalt SPARC, blitt oppnådd ved å legge til flere kontrollmoduser som utnytter posisjonsavkjenningen som er forbundet med inkrementelle kodere. Unike signalbehandling metoder diskuteres for å omgå ingen puls ved null hastighet. Forbedringer i oppgjørstiden og redusert overskridelse til en stedsforstyrrelse vil bli vist. 15:40 - Røntgen og optisk utryddelsomografi for dråpeformat Jason Green, ingeniør, EnUrga, USA EnUrga Inc har utviklet et nytt diagnostisk verktøy for tette sprøyter som høytrykksdieselinjektorer og GDI-systemer. Den nye diagnostiske, SETxvue, bruker myke røntgenstråler for å oppnå de plane massekonsentrasjonene i høytrykksbrennstoffinjektorer. Konvensjonelle optiske teknikker kan ikke studere disse høytrykksprayene fordi de er optisk tette. EnUrga vil presentere røntgen - og optisk tomografi-resultater oppnådd fra en GDI-injeksjon ved høyt trykk. Full plan dråpestørrelsesfordeling kan oppnås ved hjelp av SETXvue-systemet. Resultatene ble validert ved bruk av et diffraksjonsbasert drop-sizer system. 16:00 - Numeriskeksperimentell tilnærming til utslippsreduksjonstesting Paolo Cavallo, teknisk direktør, AMET USA Inc, USA I de siste to årene har CSI og AMET startet et partnerskap for å utvikle en integrert numerisk eksperimentell tilnærming til å håndtere testing av kjøretøyer med hensyn til utslippsreduksjonskrav .

In particular, this technology allows users to correlate five physical quantities time, space, frequency, visual, and hearing effects resulting from the captured sound sources at user-defined time steps and frequency bands. All these tasks can be accomplished using six microphones. 11:00 - Optical metrology for improved quality John Tyson, president, Trilion Quality Systems, USA Optical metrology is fast becoming the measurement method of choice for real-time measurements. 3D digital image correlation is finite element measurement, and allows users to intuitively understand the material response of complex structures, providing CAE engineers with powerful tools to understand their structures and designs, especially for advanced materials and structures. Photogrammetry provides 6DOF (degrees of freedom) measurement of structures with the same hardware, from robot motion to NVH, from materials studies to manufacturing quality control. This paper will discuss these advanced capabilities. 11:20 - Implementing quality inspection systems to battle other-objectionable-noise requirements Neil Coleman, president, Signalysis, USA Automotive OEMs are constantly driving suppliers to deliver a quieter ride. Almost every component that is powered, moves or spins has a 100 inspection requirement for dB(A) andor Loudness (Sones). And just in case that isnt enough, they add the subjective requirement of no objectionable noises. This subjective specification is very difficult to meet because the bar can move daily based on the weather or who is inspecting the parts. Signalysis has been working side by side with suppliers since 1987 and has an entire toolbox of metrics designed to win the battle and deliver the sound of silence. 11:40 - Signal-based fault detection and diagnosis based on using noise and vibration Prof Saeid Habibi, professor and director, McMaster University, CANADA This presentation is on the implementation of a fault detection and diagnostic (FDD) strategy for electric starters jointly developed by McMaster University and DV Electronics. Due to the vehicle electrification trends, electric motors are playing an increasingly important role in the powertrain of vehicles. These are continuously evolving into complicated electromechanical systems that require more advanced testing equipment. As one of the leading test system suppliers, DV Electronics has put great effort in advancing test cell technologies. The presentation is on advanced signal-based algorithms that provide a unique capability of detecting and diagnosing faults using noise and vibrations. 12:00 - BIAs next-generation multiaxial acceleration sled Nick Jaksa, managing director, BIA North America, USA Crash test protocols continue to evolve with new, expanding and more rigorous conditions that require more and more functionality and precision. BIAs new multiaxial acceleration sled offers a modular-based system that allows users to have a multistep implementation including horizontal testing, pitching simulation, yaw simulation, or a combination of the three.

The presentation will explain some ways to combat these issues, and cite examples of good and bad choices. 12:40 - New NSI processing technique CleanSC with Reference Contribution Scott Hunt, product specialist - automotive, Brel Kjr, USA Historically, beamforming, a far-field NSI technique, has been limited to showing only sources with the highest radiated sound levels from a single plain. Recently it became possible to show levels that were the most impactful to the experience of a product. Brel Kjr has developed a new method called CleanSC with Reference Contribution, which allows these array tools to very accurately map sources with respect to the level that is taken from a reference transducer. This method will be discussed and example data presented 13:00 - Indoor test for a car with radar-based pre-crash safety systems Hirosuke Suzuki, president, Keycom Corp, JAPAN Awareness of driving safety has led to the need for pre-crash safety systems to be installed on a vehicle. Things like steering wheel movement, cross-entering human and braking for pre-crash avoidance should be tested on a real car test course. But sometimes the test driver is tired and dangerous. We therefore developed a moving collision target simulation system using digital delay for long distance, optical fiber for middle distance, jamming noise to realize human cross-entering and a dielectric waveguide for short distance. It allows for indoor testing of radar-based automatic brake systems. 13:20 - Combining inertial and GPS data for accurate vehicle brake testing Dr Martin Hill, director, Race Technology Ltd, UK For a number of years companies have been relying on the use of GPS-only systems to perform vehicle brake testing. Over the last few years this has been demonstrated to be the source of significant errors in certain tests. This presentation explains the source of these errors, including their likely impact on the results of brake tests, and shows how, by using inertial data combined with GPS data, this source of errors can be eliminated while also improving the robustness of the data to poor GPS conditions. 13:40 - Dont be a dummy: body forms for seat testing Terry OBannon, chief scientist, OBannon Technologies, USA Many body forms are used in testing vehicle seats and interiors, but specifications and requirements for the forms are usually lacking (except in the specialized area of crash testing). Therefore the test result often doesnt relate to the real test objective: What happens when a human interacts with this seat We will look at various classes and examples of body forms and discuss what tests they are appropriate for, and show errors that result from using the wrong form. This program may be subject to change Tuesday 25 October 10:00 - 16:20 - DAY 1 Moderator Jeff Warra, technical specialist, Spirent Communications, USA 10:00 - Developing network, surPASS your expectations, active monitoring vs datalogging Jeff Warra, technical specialist, Spirent Communications, USA OEMs in the automotive, off-highway and heavy-duty truck industries are running out of bandwidth for autonomous driving.

The presentation will also review how to get the most out of your environmental test equipment, and proper test applications with VOC materials. 16:00 - Create test profiles correlated to multiple end-use environments utilizing FDS Kevin Van Popering, application egineer, Vibration Research Corp, USA The initial design of your product is done now its time for vibration testing. Vibration levels the product will experience have been collected from field measurements taken at the end-use environment (EUE). The amount of time the product will experience these vibration levels throughout its lifespan is known. Why not take these field measurements and target lifespans and convert them into a vibration profile correlated to the EUE Fatigue Damage Spectrum (FDS) does just that. This presentation will describe the theory and demonstrate the process of creating a test profile from multiple EUEs utilizing FDS from start to finish. 16:20 - Adding HIL to your driving simulator Ken Jackson, senior vice president, LinuxReal-Time, Concurrent, USA The simulation world is evolving into a more complete environment that can simultaneously test and verify the vehicle dynamics and a new design of the vehicles controllers. In the past, ECU testing was more singular in its reach and was relegated to testing individual components. The new thought is to fully integrate all aspects of the vehicle prior to production release. Connecting the ECUs to the driving simulator provides the complete test of the cars abilities and functionality. To expand this to autonomous vehicles requires a multi-model simulation sharing interdependent data while maintaining a high frame rate. This program may be subject to change Wednesday 26 October 10:00 - 16:00 - DAY 2 Moderator William Doelle, director North American operations, Berghof Group North America, USA 10:00 - Fiber Optic Sensing, a visible alternative Nicholas Burgwin, Founder, fibos, CANADA Over the past decade, fiber optic sensors (FOS) have advanced and are emerging as a fitting alternative to traditional electrical sensors, yet not many realize the potential and advantages of this technology.

Maintaining accuracy and stable controls throughout a speed range of 0 to 24,000rpm without changing instrumentation has been accomplished by Horibas dynamometer controller, called SPARC, by adding additional control modes that take advantage of the position sensing inherent in incremental encoders. Unique signal processing methods are discussed to circumvent the no pulse at zero speed. Improvements in settling time and reduced overshoot to a step disturbance will be shown. 15:40 - X-ray and optical extinction tomography for drop size estimation Jason Green, engineer, EnUrga, USA EnUrga Inc has developed a new diagnostic tool for dense sprays such as high-pressure diesel injectors and GDI systems. The new diagnostic, SETxvue, uses soft x-rays to obtain the planar mass concentrations in high-pressure fuel injectors. Conventional optical techniques cannot study these high-pressure sprays because they are optically dense. EnUrga will present x-ray and optical tomography results obtained from a GDI injector at high pressures. Full planar drop size distribution can be obtained using the SETXvue system. Results were validated using a diffraction-based drop-sizer system. 16:00 - Numericalexperimental approach for ejection mitigation testing Paolo Cavallo, technical director, AMET USA Inc, USA In the last two years CSI and AMET have started a partnership to develop an integrated numericalexperimental approach to deal with the testing of vehicles wrt ejection mitigation requirements.

In particular, this technology allows users to correlate five physical quantities time, space, frequency, visual, and hearing effects resulting from the captured sound sources at user-defined time steps and frequency bands. All these tasks can be accomplished using six microphones. 11:00 - Optical metrology for improved quality John Tyson, president, Trilion Quality Systems, USA Optical metrology is fast becoming the measurement method of choice for real-time measurements. 3D digital image correlation is finite element measurement, and allows users to intuitively understand the material response of complex structures, providing CAE engineers with powerful tools to understand their structures and designs, especially for advanced materials and structures. Photogrammetry provides 6DOF (degrees of freedom) measurement of structures with the same hardware, from robot motion to NVH, from materials studies to manufacturing quality control. This paper will discuss these advanced capabilities. 11:20 - Implementing quality inspection systems to battle other-objectionable-noise requirements Neil Coleman, president, Signalysis, USA Automotive OEMs are constantly driving suppliers to deliver a quieter ride. Almost every component that is powered, moves or spins has a 100 inspection requirement for dB(A) andor Loudness (Sones). And just in case that isnt enough, they add the subjective requirement of no objectionable noises. This subjective specification is very difficult to meet because the bar can move daily based on the weather or who is inspecting the parts. Signalysis has been working side by side with suppliers since 1987 and has an entire toolbox of metrics designed to win the battle and deliver the sound of silence. 11:40 - Signal-based fault detection and diagnosis based on using noise and vibration Prof Saeid Habibi, professor and director, McMaster University, CANADA This presentation is on the implementation of a fault detection and diagnostic (FDD) strategy for electric starters jointly developed by McMaster University and DV Electronics. Due to the vehicle electrification trends, electric motors are playing an increasingly important role in the powertrain of vehicles. These are continuously evolving into complicated electromechanical systems that require more advanced testing equipment. As one of the leading test system suppliers, DV Electronics has put great effort in advancing test cell technologies. The presentation is on advanced signal-based algorithms that provide a unique capability of detecting and diagnosing faults using noise and vibrations. 12:00 - BIAs next-generation multiaxial acceleration sled Nick Jaksa, managing director, BIA North America, USA Crash test protocols continue to evolve with new, expanding and more rigorous conditions that require more and more functionality and precision. BIAs new multiaxial acceleration sled offers a modular-based system that allows users to have a multistep implementation including horizontal testing, pitching simulation, yaw simulation, or a combination of the three. The system integrates an innovative numerical control strategy with real-time closed-loop control during the entire duration of pulse creation, in parallel with real-time predictive system modeling algorithms. This fully servohydraulic system provides advanced high payload, with excellent pulse-matching capability. 12:20 - The woes of plant environment seat testing Andrew Whitely, solutions engineer, Signalysis, USA Often laboratory results are not easily achievable in plant environments. Stamping, welding and various other plant noises and vibrations can degrade or interfere with measurements. The presentation will explain some ways to combat these issues, and cite examples of good and bad choices. 12:40 - New NSI processing technique CleanSC with Reference Contribution Scott Hunt, product specialist - automotive, Brel Kjr, USA Historically, beamforming, a far-field NSI technique, has been limited to showing only sources with the highest radiated sound levels from a single plain. Recently it became possible to show levels that were the most impactful to the experience of a product. Brel Kjr has developed a new method called CleanSC with Reference Contribution, which allows these array tools to very accurately map sources with respect to the level that is taken from a reference transducer. This method will be discussed and example data presented 13:00 - Indoor test for a car with radar-based pre-crash safety systems Hirosuke Suzuki, president, Keycom Corp, JAPAN Awareness of driving safety has led to the need for pre-crash safety systems to be installed on a vehicle. Things like steering wheel movement, cross-entering human and braking for pre-crash avoidance should be tested on a real car test course. But sometimes the test driver is tired and dangerous. We therefore developed a moving collision target simulation system using digital delay for long distance, optical fiber for middle distance, jamming noise to realize human cross-entering and a dielectric waveguide for short distance. It allows for indoor testing of radar-based automatic brake systems. 13:20 - Combining inertial and GPS data for accurate vehicle brake testing Dr Martin Hill, director, Race Technology Ltd, UK For a number of years companies have been relying on the use of GPS-only systems to perform vehicle brake testing. Over the last few years this has been demonstrated to be the source of significant errors in certain tests. This presentation explains the source of these errors, including their likely impact on the results of brake tests, and shows how, by using inertial data combined with GPS data, this source of errors can be eliminated while also improving the robustness of the data to poor GPS conditions. 13:40 - Dont be a dummy: body forms for seat testing Terry OBannon, chief scientist, OBannon Technologies, USA Many body forms are used in testing vehicle seats and interiors, but specifications and requirements for the forms are usually lacking (except in the specialized area of crash testing). Therefore the test result often doesnt relate to the real test objective: What happens when a human interacts with this seat We will look at various classes and examples of body forms and discuss what tests they are appropriate for, and show errors that result from using the wrong form.

Twitter FeedMGI Library MGI has a library of VIs that we reuse in the development of customer projects. The library is stored as a VIPM package, so youll need the VI Package Manager to install it. Some of the MGI VIs depend on other OpenG Packages. The contents of the MGI Library are reviewed by expanding the items below Array Function VIs all perform common array operations on numerical data. MGI Average This is a polymorphic VI. This VI computes and returns the average value of the given array of doubles. MGI Centered Weighted Moving Average Performs a centered weighted moving average on an array according to the size and weighting parameters. MGI Running Average PolyVI: Keep running averages of each of the input values. Infinite Impulse Response requires less processing, but it takes infinite time to arrive at a steady state value. Finite Impulse Reponse maintains an array of the specified size but is able to output means. This VI is a reentrant functional global. MGI Running Maximum Keep a running maximum efficiently. MGI Running Minimum Keep a running minimum efficiently. MGI Interpolate 1D Array Extended Extended version of Interpolate 1D Array which can extrapolate outside of the array bounds. Linear extension based on the first or last two array elements is used for out of range values. MGI Threshold 1D Array Extended Extended version of threshold which can produce fractional indices outside of the array limits. Linear extension based on the first or last two array elements is used for out of range values. MGI Calculate Peak Moments Calculate peak moments for an evenly sampled signal. 0th moment is the area under the peak i. e. the sum of the signals 1st moment is the location of the peakcentroidcenter of mass. Calculated by sum(iyi)sum(yi), it8217s in units of the spacing between the signals, with 0 corresponding to the first element of the array. 2nd moment is the RMS peak width, also in index units. MGI Linear Fit Finds the least squares linear fit parameters for the provided data. If the range of x values is not greater than the range of y values, then the fit is performed with the x and y values reversed, with the outputs converted back to the original orientation. If the optional Weights input is empty or unwired, then the weights used in the fit are all set to 1 (equal weighting). MGI Statistical Histogram Create a histogram based on -3 standard deviations and outliers. MGI Calculate Array Differences This is a polymorphic VI. Calculate differences between consecutive array elements. 0th element of output is equal to x(0)- x(-1), where x(-1) is an optional scalar input that defaults to zero. MGI Calculate Array Sums This is a polymorphic VI. Calculate sums of consecutive array elements. 0th element of output is equal to x(0) x(-1), where x(-1) is an optional scalar input that defaults to zero. MGI Shift Array Shift a 1-D array by a specified amount up or down, filling with NaN. MGI Decimate Array with Offset This is a polymorphic VI. Decimates the specified array by the specified amount. An error is output if the array length is not an integer multiple of the decimation. 8220Offset8221 specifies which decimation is output. An error is output if Offset is greater than or equal to the Decimation. MGI Get Slope at Point Gets the unit length slope of the curve defined by the input arrays at the specified index. 2D Array VIs operate on 2-dimensional data (like what is sent to an intensity graph). MGI Edge Enhance 2D Array Perform an edge enhancement operation on a 2D array based on the absolute value of differences between neighbors of a point in opposite directions. It doesn8217t sharpen edges, but it does damp out constant regions. MGI Gaussian Smooth Apply a gaussian smoothing function in one direction on a 2D array of data. Smooth scale is the e-fold length in array index units. Accuracy factor is the ratio of the smallest included term to the largest term. Data is effectively surrounded by zero8217s on the boundary. MGI Smooth 2D Array Perform a smoothing operation on a 2D array using a kernel like: 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 Element sums are normalized by the number of valid source elements, so a constant array would be unchanged. MGI XY Sizes Determine array dimensions and put the result into an XY cluster. Application Control VIs use LabVIEW VI Server or perform tasks related to built executables or user interface. MGI VI Reference This is the polymorphic version for the caller, current, and top level references. The VI also has a level version which allows you to specific the level reference desired. MGI Change Detector Report if input has changed since previous call. This VI is polymorphic, and the first call to this VI will return True or False based on the instance selected. MGI Gray if This polymorphic VI is designed to feed into the 8220Disabled8221 property of controls. Depending on the condition, it will output either 8220Enabled8221 or 8220Disabled and Grayed Out.8221 MGI Origin at Top Left Places the referenced VI8217s front panel8217s origin at the top left of the pane. MGI Save 038 Restore Settings Saves or Restores the settings associated with a VI, including panel bounds, listbox column widths, and graphchart plots. The settings are saved in an ini file at the specified path. For table style controls, only the columns with headers are saved. MGI Exit if Runtime This VI is designed to be used at the very end of an application that will be run as an executable. It closes the front panel of the executable before exiting LabVIEW, eliminating the annoying flicker as the front panel moves into the non-running state. In source code this VI has no effect. MGI Get Executable Version If this VI is built into an executable, it returns the file version (different than the product version) of the executable. When run in the development environment it simply returns 8220Development8221. Executables created with versions of LabVIEW earlier than 8.0 do not include the necessary information in the executable for this VI to return the version. MGI For Loop Progress Bar This VI is a progress bar for For Loops. If the 8220Wait Time8221 has elapsed, and the loop is less than half-way through its total of iterations, this VI will open and show a progress bar for the For Loop. If 8220Show Time8221 is True, this VI will display an approximation for the time remaining. A moving average is used to smooth the approximation to compensate for non-linearities in code execution. MGI Is Runtime The VI returns a boolean indicating whether it is being run in an executable or in the development environment. MGI Get Value This is a polymorphic VI. It gets the value of the control specified by reference. It acts as a small 8220Value8221 property node. MGI Button Dialog Enhanced version of the built in three button dialog for original help, click link below). Added an output boolean useful for drop-in replacement of one - or two-button dialogs, which as in the original you8217ll get by wiring empty strings for button text. Added an option to make this a non-modal dialog but hide the calling VI, which is useful when you want to block one window but not all windows. This VI is reentrant to support that situation. MGI Defer Panel Updates Defers or Restores Panel Updates for the specified VI. This VI tracks the number of times a deferrestore is made for each VI so that multiple defers must be matched with multiple restores. A Defer or Restore will be attempted even if an error exists on input. MGI Dirty Dot Sets, clears, or reads a dirty dot on the Front Panel Title of the referenced VI. MGI Get VI Control Ref Returns refnums of all controls on a front panel. If Include Tab Page Controls is true, then all controls on tab pages are included recursively. The type of each returned refnum is also output in Control Typei . Control Labeli contains the label of each control. MGI Center Callee in Caller This VI is designed to center a callee VI8217s window in a caller VI8217s window. MGI Fade In 038 Out This VI iteratively sets the transparency of the referenced VI from fully transparent to fully opaque and vice versa, providing a visual 8220Fade In8221 or 8220Fade Out8221. The default 8220Speed8221 is set at an arbitrary 821638217. A higher number will cause a faster fade. MGI Coerce Panel Bounds to Viewable Area Coerce the specified panel bounds to fit on screen. If at least a 50 pixel square of the top left or top right rectangle appear on one of the monitors, then the original panel bounds is output. Otherwise, the panel bounds are changed to appear on the primary monitor. MGI Set Front Panel Color Sets the Front Panel Color of the referenced VI. MGI Set Front Panel Title Sets the Front Panel Title of the referenced VI. MGI Set Scrollbar This Polymorphic VI shows or hides the scrollbar(s) for the specified control reference. See the Instance VI help for more information. MGI Save Front Panel Data Saves the control and indicator data to the specified file in a MGI ReadWrite Anything file under the specified section. Control and Indicator names must be unique. MGI Restore Front Panel Data Restores the control and indicator data from the specified MGI ReadWrite Anything file. Control and Indicator names must be unique. MGI Disable Enum Merge VI This is a merge VI for the disable enum control. MGI VI Property Node This VI contains a Property Node that is linked to the Front Panel:Open property of the VI Class. This VI serves as a merge to drop a property node that has already been linked as a VI Class type. MGI Disable Enum Grayed Merge VI The Disable Enum. vi is smaller than the Enum 8220Disabled and Greyed out8221 and may be dropped on block diagrams to conserve space. MGI Disable Enum (Small) This Polymorphic VI contains an instance for each disabled state of a control (Enabled, Disabled, Disabled 038 Grayed). It takes up less space than an enumeration constant on the block diagram. Bezier VIs perform calculations based on Bezier curves, which are similar to cubic splines but with a few key differences. MGI Bezier Find k Search the Bezier Control Points array for the block containing y. y is tested against y(first k 3 4n), where n 0, 1, 8230. Return value is (first k 4n), suitable for input to Bezier Inverse. MGI Bezier Find k Backwards Search the Bezier Control Points array for the block containing y. y is tested against y(first k 8211 4n), where n 0, 1, 8230. Return value is (first k 8211 4n), suitable for input to Bezier Inverse. MGI Bezier Inverse Multiple Solutions Calculates bezier 0..1 parameters from y, a bezier function result. All solutions in the range 0..1 are returned, in ascending order. MGI Bezier Inverse Time Calculate a time from a block index and a 0..1 parameter. Actually performs an inverse Bezier function rather than a forward one, so u is first mapped linearly to the time range, then an inverse Bezier is calculated, and then the result is remapped into the time range. MGI Bezier Inverse Calculate a bezier 0..1 parameter from y, a bezier function result. MGI Bezier Scalar Compute a Bezier point given an array of control points, the index of the start of the block of 4 points to be used, and the desired 0-1 value. MGI Bezier Slope Vector Compute an N-Dimensional Bezier vector given sets of 4 control points in each of N dimensions and the desired 0-1 value. MGI Bezier Slope Weights Computes an array of four weights, (1-u)3, u(1-u)2, u2(1-u), and u3 given u. u should be between 0 and 1. MGI Bezier Time Calculate a bezier 0..1 parameter from t. Actually uses a forward bezier instead of an inverse, so the endpoint times are first used to map t to a 0..1 parameter, then the bezier is calculated, then the endpoints are used to map the result back to 0..1. MGI Bezier Vector This is a polymorphic VI that computes an N-Dimensional Bezier vector given sets of 4 control points in each of N dimensions and the desired 0-1 value. MGI Bezier Weights This is a polymorphic VI that computes an array of four weights, (1-u)3, 3u(1-u)2, 3u2(1-u), and u3 given u. u should be between 0 and 1. MGI Bezier Optimizer Modification of Downhill Simplex nD to perform modelling calculation and provide an interactive display. Boolean VIs operate on boolean data. MGI Boolean Debounce Output is true only if Input is true for the previous Filter Length calls. Reentrant. MGI Resettable Trigger (Reentrant) This VI sets the 8220Trigger8221 output high only once on a rising edge of the 8220State8221 input. The 8220Triggered8221 output is high after the first time there is a rising edge on the 8220State8221 input. The trigger is resettable through the input 8220Reset (F)8221. This VI is a reentrant functional global, so each instance of this VI refers to a different trigger. Cluster VIs perform operations on Clusters like replacing an element in a cluster or getting the index of an element. MGI Get Cluster Elements This VI was created for use with the ReadWrite Anything VIs. It breaks a cluster up into its individual elements and passes the elements out in an array of variants. MGI Get Cluster Index This VI returns the tabbing order index of the element or subelement in Cluster In named Name . A -1 is returned if the element is not found. What Index means depends on Mode : Include all elements and subelements: recurses all clusters and subclusters and increments for each cluster or any other data type. Index returns the element8217s order among all elements, no matter the level. First level only: only looks at the elements of Cluster In . Will not recurse on any subclusters of Cluster In . In this case, Index refers to the tabbing order of Cluster In . Index in lowest level: once an element with Name is found, its tab order index in its owning cluster is returned in Index . MGI Get Cluster Value This VI is designed to return the value of an element in a cluster (as a variant) based on the name provided. If there are multiple fields with the same name, only the first will be returned. Setting Flat to True avoids searching in subclusters. MGI Replace Cluster Element This VI searches for an element or subelement in Cluster In named Name and replaces it with Data . If Data is the wrong size or if an element with Name cannot be found, then Cluster In will be returned for Cluster Out . These VIs are distributed by National Instruments, but are not put on any palette. They are useful for inspecting the datatype of a variant. They do not return the data on the wire, but only the type of the wire. GetArrayInfo Get Information about the Array datatype stored in Variant. If Variant8217s datatype is not an array, an error code of 1 is returned. NDims is the dimensionality of the array. For each dimension, Array Lengths contains an element describing how the array memory is allocated. ArrayElement returns the datatype of the array element (in a variant).

Time stamp is a numerical value representing when the PolyVI was last edited. GetRefnumInfo Get Information about the Refnum datatype stored in Variant. If Variant8217s datatype is not a refnum, an error code of 1 is returned. ReferenceType describes the type of Refnum StrictType describes any data associated with the refnum. For strict VI References, it is a VI datatype describing the VI. For Datalogs, it is the data type saved. VI Server Generic Type indicates the specific VI Server class type if ReferenceType is 8220LVObjUnknown8221. GetStringInfo Get Information about the String datatype stored in Variant. If Variant8217s datatype is not a string, an error code of 1 is returned. MemoryType describes the memory used to store the string, not the string length. GetTagInfo Get Information about the Tag datatype stored in Variant. If Variant8217s datatype is not a tag, an error code of 1 is returned. MemoryInfo describes the memory used to store the tag, not the tag length. GetTypeInfo Return information about the datatype stored in Variant. Type Enum is the type of data Name is the name of the data If the data is defined by a Type Definition, HasTypedef is true and Typedef contains information about the Type Definition. GetVIInfo Get Information about the VI datatype stored in Variant. If Variant8217s datatype is not a VI, an error code of 1 is returned. VI Info returns the presumed characteristics of the VI. VI Terminal Types contains an entry for each terminal on the VIs connector Pane. Unwired terminals have a Void datatype. GetWaveformInfo Get information about the Waveform datatype stored in Variant. If Variant8217s datatype is not a Waveform, an error is output. YArrayType returns the data type of the waveform8217s YArray element as a Variant.

There will be one array length entry for each dimension in the array. Variant Out returns the array type descriptor after Array Element and Array Lengths have been added to Variant In SetTypeInfo Sets the name and typedef attributes of a type descriptor. Variant In is the type descriptor whose name and typedef attributes will be set. If any attributes already exist, then will be deleted before the new attributes are added. Name is an string that will be used to create a name for the type descriptor. Typedef Info is a cluster of a VI name and timestamp that will be used to create a typedef for the numeric. Variant Out returns the type descriptor after Name and Typedef Info have been added to Variant In SetVIInfo Get Information about the VI datatype stored in Variant. If Variant8217s datatype is not a VI, an error code of 1 is returned. VI Info returns the presumed characteristics of the VI. VI Terminal Types contains an entry for each terminal on the VIs connector Pane. Unwired terminals have a Void datatype. MGI code uses standard LabVIEW error clusters so that it integrates smoothly with built-in LabVIEW functions. MGI Insert Reserved Error Wire 8220Reserved Error Code8221 with an error ring constant to be inserted unless there8217s an upstream error or 8220Error8221 is false. Source string is built from the calling chain, starting with this vi8217s caller, and prepended with 8220Error Description8221 input. MGI Append String to Error Source Append or Prepend the specified message to the input error source string if error exists. MGI Suppress Error Code This polymorphic VI takes either an error code or an array of error codes. If the error code being passed in through Error In is either the scalar or in the array of error codes it will not be passed to Error Out. Any other error codes will be passed to Error Out. MGI Error Reporter The MGI Error Reporter allows errors to be displayed to the user in a separate loop, allowing the loop where the error occurred to continue executing. The Error Reporter is created using LabVIEW Classes so that behavior may be customized by creating a child class. MGI Create Starts an Error Reporter daemon using the optionally wired Error Reporter. If Error Handler is not wired, the MGI Error Reporter Dialog is used. If an Error Reporter daemon is already running from a top level VI, do nothing and output True for 8220Already Running8221. See 8220VI Tree. vi8221 for more details. If this VI is used on RT, the Dialog Class will be loaded on RT. This may cause linking and saving problems. MGI Create Logger Starts an Error Reporter daemon using the optionally wired Error Reporter. If Error Handler is not wired, the MGI Error Reporter Dialog is used. If an Error Reporter daemon is already running from a top level VI, do nothing and output True for 8220Already Running8221. See 8220VI Tree. vi8221 for more details. MGI Report Error This reentrant VI will send a wired error or warning to the error reporter daemon. If no error reporter daemon is running or if the processing queue is full, then the error or warning is discarded. MGI Destroy Stop the Error Reporter daemon from executing if no other VIs are currently using it. The MGI Error Reporter Advanced palette contains VIs that effect the behavior of the Error Reporter. MGI Get Custom Error Codes Output the custom error codes defined for the Error Reporter. MGI Set Custom Error Codes Set the custom error codes that will be used by the Error Reporter. The Custom Name array should contain short single line descriptions of each code. MGI Show UI Shows any user interface (UI) window associated with the Error Reporter by sending a Show UI Message to the daemon. The MGI Error Reporter Base class daemon ignores this message. MGI Get Error Description Gets the name for the error code specified, outputting the default description if the error code isn8217t found. This VI will output the custom name if a custom error code is specified. MGI Set Logging Parameters Sets the behavior of the Error Logger. Default behavior is to log a maximum of 5000 errors per file and to keep a maximum of 100 files. Max Errors to Log is the number of errors logged to a file where subsequent errors are not logged. Wire a -2 to leave this number unchanged. Wire a -1 to log all errors to file. Wire a 0 to disable error logging. Max Log Files is the number of error logs in the error directory. The oldest log files are deleted to make room for new files. Wire -2 to leave this number unchanged. Wire a -1 to disable the deletion of older files. Wire a 0 to disable error logging. MGI Get Logging Parameters Output the Maximum Errors to log and the Maximum of Log Files. -1 indicates that all errors will be stored. Error Log Directory is the path where log files will be stored. MGI Send Custom Message Send a custom message with the specified data (as a variant) to the Error Reporter daemon. This VI is useful for sending messages to a child class of the MGI Error Reporter Base class, which does not handle any custom messages. The MGI Error Reporter Documentation palette contains VI trees for the two Error Reporter classes. It is helpful for understanding how the error reporter works and which VIs should be overridden in child classes to get custom behavior. MGI VI Tree This VI documents the MGI Error Reporter Base Class. See Block Diagram for documentation. File VIs operate on directories and files. MGI Append Text to File Append 8220Text8221 to the file at 8220Path8221. Note: This VI opens and closes the specified file each time it is called. MGI Create Directory Chain This VI creates any non-existant folders in 8220Path8221. The 8220Auto Detect8221 setting of 8220File Presence8221 searches for a 8216.8217 in the name. In this mode a top level folder with a 8216.8217 won8217t get created and a file without an extension will get created as a folder. MGI Default ini Path This VI constructs a standardized configuration file path in either MyDocuments or All UsersDocuments depending on 8220All Users8221. MGI Replace File Extension This VI creates replaces the file extension on 8220Path In8221 with 8220New Extension.8221 MGI File Dialog Merge VI Merge VI for dropping a File Dialog primitive (which does not show up on the palette in LabVIEW 8.0 and later when it is only available through an express VI.) MGI Windows Folder Path Return the path of the specified Windows folder. Calls SHGetFolderPathA routine in shell32.dll to determine the answer. Checksum VIs are useful for calculating and verifying a checksum value on a file or directory of files. MGI CheckValue Directory Calculate Output an array of all files contained in the specified directory along with a CheckValue for each file. Optional Progress Bar Input is updated if wired, otherwise a progress bar dialog with abort button is shown. MGI CheckValue Directory Compare Compare the specified expected files and checkvalues to the specified directory. Extra files in the directory are ignored. If all expected files match, then output true, otherwise output false. If a reference to a slider is wired, then the slider is updated to show the progress of the comparison. Otherwise show a progress bar dialog with optional abort button. MGI Executable Checksum Compute the checksum of the. exe file if an executable is running. FFFFFFFF is returned when running from the development system. MGI File CheckValue Calculate the Checkvalue for the specified file. Config VIs are useful when using the NI Configuration file format. They add support for reading and writing arrays of numeric values to a config file. MGI Read Key This is a Polymorphic VI. Read an array key (actually a section) written by the matching Write VI. MGI Remove Array Sections Remove sections from an ini file when an array is shrinking. If Old Count is unwired, count will be read, parent section will be removed, and then count will be replaced. If Old Count is wired, it8217s assumed thatparent section handling was already performed. Child sections that are removed have names , where ranges from new count to old count-1. MGI Write Key This is a polymorphic VI. Write an array datatype in a human readable format. The 8220key8221 is actually placed in a separate section. Spreadsheet VIs support reading and writing delineated text files that have text headers. MGI Read Spreadsheet File Reads a spreadsheet file by returning the first non-empty, non numeric containing rows as a header, then the following numeric rows. Reading starts at Start Offset. End Offset is the file offset for the next HeaderValues section. This VI is similar to the vi. lib file 8220Read From Spreadsheet File. vi8221, but it supports headers. MGI Write Spreadsheet File Creates or opens the specified spreadsheet file and writes the specified data to the end of the file. This VI is similar to the vi. libWrite Spreadsheet File. vi, but it includes headers. By default, headers are only written if the file is created new. Wire true to 8220Append Headers to existing files8221 to add them to existing files as well. The Sharp Zip Library provides support for creating zip files that are larger than 2Gigabytes. The Sharp Zip Library depends on Microsoft technology. MGI SZL Add File Adds the file specified by source file path to the zip file. Destination path in zip should be the relative path in the zip file including the name of the file itself, but not including the name of the zip file. The updateMode input selects between Safe and Direct. Safe mode will create a temporary file so that errors in the add will not corrupt the entire file. Direct simply adds to the file, so it is more dangerous, but can be significantly faster, particularly for large files. This VI relies on the Sharp Zip Library which is a assembly written in C by Mike Krueger. It is licenced under the GPL with a special exception permitting independent modules to link to the library regardless of the license terms of the independent module.

It is licenced under the GPL with a special exception permitting independent modules to link to the library regardless of the license terms of the independent module. More information about the library and its license is available from: icsharpcodeopensourcesharpziplib MGI SZL Zip Directory Compresses everything in root directory into a zip file. If include subdirectories is TRUE, this VI recursively includes any subdirectories. Open Options can be set to create the zip file new, or open an existing one and append on to it.

If include subdirectories is TRUE, this VI recursively includes any subdirectories. Open Options can be set to create the zip file new, or open an existing one and append on to it. MGI Open Explorer Window Open a Windows Explorer window to the specified file8217s directory and select the file. If the path specifies a directory, then the explorer window is opened to that directory, unless 8220Select Directory8221 is true, in which case the explorer window is opened to the parent directory and the specified directory is selected. Graph VIs are useful for setting properties of Chart and Graph controls MGI Autoscaling Enum Merge VI This is a merge VI. It exists to allow easy dropping of the enumeration from the palettes. MGI Graph Tools Enum Merge VI This is a merge VI. It exists to allow easy dropping of the enumeration from the palettes. MGI Non Repeating Plot Color Generate colors that are good for a white background and distinguishable from each other. MGI Set Plot Names This is a polymorphic VI. Sets the plot names as specified, optionally growing the Plot Legend to fit the number of names. If Plot Name is empty, then the Plot Legend is hidden, otherwise it is shown. MGI Set Z Scale Colors Updates the specified color scale using a distribution of colors specified by 8220Scheme8221. Min and Max describe the range of data that is to be displayed using the color scale. If 8220Z Scale Ref8221 is not wired, the scale will not be updated but 8220ValueScale8221 will still contain data for the specified scheme. The output 8220ValueScale8221 will have 256 colordata pairs. Matrix and Vector VIs operate on 1D (for Vector) and 2D (for Matrix) arrays of numeric data. These include Cross Product, which is not included in LabVIEW. MGI Vectors Approximately Equal Check that two vectors are within a given distance of each other. The default tolerance (distance between vectors) is 1E-5. MGI Cross Product Calculate the cross product of two 3-dimensional vectors in cartesian coordinates. MGI Dot Product Computes the dot product of X Vector and Y Vector. MGI Calculate Vector Length Calculate the length of a cartesian vector. MGI Identity Matrix 42154 Simply provides a 42154 SGL identity matrix. The Menu Building palette provides an extensible API for creating Application Menus, Windows Tray item Menus, and Control shortcut menus. It is useful for dynamic menu creation and for simplifing common Menu behavior such as toggling checkboxes and forcing radio button behavior among a set of Menu items. MenuConstructor Polymorphic VI to choose the type of menu you want to create. MenuItemConstructor Use this to create a new MenuItem. Most of the menu items you create can be left as generic menu items. Only use a specialized menu item when you need to use an additional field of that menu item. For example a shortcut in a VI MenuItem, or an icon in a MenuStrip MenuItem SelectionConstructor Polymorphic VI to select the built in selection types. Destroy Destroys the MenuItem. This ensures that all references contained by the menu item are also destroyed. Do not use the 8220Delete Data Value Reference8221 on a MenuItem Reference as this will lead to memory leaks. Use this vi instead. Init Inistializes the menu. This vi will delete any menu8217s that are currently in place. This also creates the Menuitem Clicked event. Do not use this VI to rebuild the menu. There is a separate Rebuild Menu VI. Menu Building Initialization Merge VI This Merge VI is a good starting place for most MenuBuilding menus. It has all of the vi8217s needed to initialize a new menu RebuildMenu Rebuilds the menu after a menu item array is changed. This will not destroy old MenuItem references, so make sure to destroy any MenuItems no longer being used. BasicInfo Retreives basic information about the last menu click. This VI returns the data of the menu item after the menu click. If you need to view more detailed data or the data before the menu click, use a property node. Cleanup Destroys the Menu and all MenuItems inside it. MenuClicked Simulates the menu click. This will perform an identical action as the user actually clicking the MenuItem. SetToDefault Searches the menu for any item with 8220Clicked by Default8221 set to true and then fakes a click on this item. This is useful for initializeing radio selections or checkmark selections to default values. MenuItem Clicked Events will be generates for these default clicks. If you want to process these events, make sure this VI is run after the Register for User Events node on the MenuItem Clicked Event. The Tray Icon palette contains VIs that work with Windows Tray menus. ShowBalloon Shows the notification balloon from the tray item. Balloon Text is required to be a non-empty string. Default timeout is set by the OS, and typically approx 10 sec. For more info see msdn. microsoften-uslibraryms160065.aspx MinimizeToTray Minimizes the referenced to tray. If VI Refnum is unwired the caller is assumed. RestoreFromTaskbar Restores a VI what has previously been Minimized to Tray. If VI Refnum is unwires, the calling VI will be used. Set Show on Taskbar to false to keep the VI from showing in the taskbar. FindMenuItemByTag Searches the menu structure recursively for a menu item with the full tag specified. The Menu Examples palette contains example VIs that use the MGI Menu Building VIs. VI Menu Example Demonstrates the Menu Strip type. Run the VI to see it8217s Runtime Menu replaced by the specified menu. Notice the shorcut key on the Exit Menu item. Click summarys show up in the history array. Click the 8220Add Item8221 to add a dummy item to the VI8217s menu. Tray Icon Example Demonstrates the Tray Icon menu type. Run the VI to see the menu and icon appear in the system tray. Right click the icon to see the menu appear. Double click the Icon to signal a 8220Default8221 menu item click. Fill in the Balloon Info values and click 8220Show Balloon8221 to see the balloon pop-up in the system tray. The 8220tipText8221 is the only field required in the balloon info and an error will be thrown if you try to show a balloon with no tipText. the minimum timeout is controlled by the OS and any value less than the OS value will be coerced up Click summarys show up in the history array. Click the 8220Add Item8221 to add a dummy item to the TrayIcon8217s menu. Control Example Demonstrates the Control Menu type. Right click on the 8220Listbox8221 to see the menu generated. Click summarys show up in the history array. Click the 8220Add Item8221 to add a dummy item to the control8217s menu. MenuStrip Example Demonstrates the Menu Strip type. Run the VI to see the menu appear in the MenuStrip control. Notice the 8220File - Default8221menu item that contains an icon as well as the 8220File-Exit8221 menu item contains a shortcut. Click summarys show up in the history array. Click the 8220Add Item8221 to add a dummy item to the MenuStrip8217s menu. SelectionTypeExample Run the VI and look under the 8220Selection Types8221 menu item for a demo of the built in selection types. Coordinate VIs are useful for performing rotations on 2D or 3D datasets. MGI Apply Transform Polymorphic VI: Apply a cartesian coordinate translation and rotation. MGI Center from 3 Points Polymorphic VI: Calculate the center of a circle based on three points on the circle. MGI Find 2D Intersection of 2 Lines Finds the intersection of 2 lines. If the lines are parallel, then an argument error (code 1) is output. The lines are specified using 2 points for each line. The points are specified as rows in a 2D array where the first column is x and the second is y. MGI Rotate Vector Polymorphic VI: Perform a 3D vector rotation about a coordinate axis. MGI Cylindrical to Cartesian Convert R, Th, Z to X, Y,Z. MGI Find Closest Line Segment Finds the line segment closest to the given x and y coordinates. The Graph Data is intepreted as a sequence of points which are connected by line segments. The points in the graph are assumed to be connected in the order provided. The output index is the index of the first point in the data that is an endpoint of the closest line segment. MGI Find Closest Point Finds the index of the point in the input data that is closest to the given x and y coordinates. The optional input allows the user to use the city block metric (i. e. the sum of the distances in the x and y directions) instead of the standard distance measurement. MGI Generate Orthonormal Basis Generate a set of orthonormal basis vectors from three points given in cartesian coordinates. The basis vectors are found by normalizing: w1p1-p2 w2w1 x (p2-p3) w3w1 x w2 MGI Generate Rotation Matrix Generate a 32153 rotation matrix with specified diagonal elements, - the off diagonal element, and specified axis unrotated. Numeric VIs operate DBL or SGL precision floating point numbers and on integers. They include the coercion, comparison, and rounding subpalettes. For easy access and use with quickdrop, the compound arithmetic nodes are also included. MGI Get Real Quadratic Roots Gets the real roots of the quadratic equation Ax2 Bx C 0. If there are no real roots, then both outputs are NaN. If there is a double root that is real, then both outputs are equal to the double root. If the coefficients correspond to a linear equation (i. e. A is zero) then Root1 is the solution to the linear equation and Root2 is NaN. This VI is configured to run as a subroutine. MGI Nth Root Take the nth root of x. Handles x Ends with Contains Begins with MGI Determine Time Format String Determines a Time Format String for a given string in a common date format. For example Thu, January 1, 2011 3:00 PM would be a, B, d, Y I:M p. The Day Before Month input specifies whether the day or month is first when in a 12111 type format. The Leading Zeros input determines if the day, month number, and hour will have a leading zero if they are only 1 digit. MGI Parse Format String Parses the string at the specified position for a format code. The portion of the string before the format code is output as 8220Delim8221. If an error occurs, then an error is output and the Offset out is -1. MGI Scan From String This PolyVI handles scan from string for special datatypes. Timing VIs are usefull for measuring the execution duration of some code and for providing a delay that uses explicit dataflow using an error cluster. MGI Wait This is the polymorphic version that contains both millisecond and second versions of MGI Wait. Useful to create data dependency on the error lines and to have a smaller icon. If 8220Error In8221 has an error, then this VI won8217t perform the wait. MGI Milliseconds Since Last Call This VI stores the tick count on a shift register and provides as an output the number of milliseconds since the last time this VI was called. MGI Milliseconds Since Last Reset Returns the amount of time in milliseconds since the last time the VI was reset. This VI is non-reentrant. Tree VIs are usefull for populating the LabVIEW Tree control. MGI Get Tree Tag Children Get all child tags of the specified tag for the specified tree control. MGI Populate Tree with Delimited Strings Populates the specified Tree Control with the specified items. The items are delimited strings where the text of each parent is in the string seperated by delimiters. For example, the string 8220CProjectFoo8221 with the delimiter 82208221 would be shown as C Project Foo Each Row in the 2D Items array is a child item. The first column contains the Tags. Subsequent columns contain Text for the Tree control columns. If 8220Use Child Only Items8221 is true, then items in the 2D array that are not followed by a descendent item are inserted as 8220Child Only8221. Otherwise, all items are inserted as Child OnlyFalse. NOTE: If Use Child Only Items is true, then the 2D array must have all parent tags followed immediately by one child item. MGI Tree Rows from Delimited String Array Convert the array of delimited strings stored in the first column of the specified array to Tree Rows. The remaining columns are used as text for each tree row. Post navigasjon
