iso.control - The highlights
|
iso.control is the ultimate, high-sophisticated but easy-to-use software tool for automotive testing offering best benefit to its users. The continuously updated and extended standards library is only one of these benefits.

iso.control - Best in user convenience and most up-to-date
|
iso.control supports the automotive transient generators and battery supply simulators of the entire 200 series.
The heart of this most versatile software tool is the exhaustive standards library including national and international standards and, even much more important, a very large range of car manufacturer requirements. Standard Test routines are started by only a few key strokes with all parameter settings already pre-programmed. The test window shows the set parameters and the progress on-line during the ongoing test. iso.control is widely recognised to be the best software for easy, efficient and reliable conducted immunity tests in automotive. It is constantly kept up-to-date with the standards changing frequently. New or changed standards can easily be updated. |

User defined test routines to cover individual test requirements
|
In the Standard Pulse window you can select the required test level as requested for the test. All relevant parameters are automatically set accordingly.
User Defined Test routines are easily created and saved in the test files library. User defined test routines based on standard test routines can be created in the Expert Mode from each standard pulse window. In this mode all parameters are open to be changed. |

Automated test sequences using LinkFile and EasyLink
|
Not only single tests can be performed. Single test routines can be linked together to form a complete test sequence composed from standard tests or user defined tests. This functionality allows fully automated testing combining different test requirements. Entire test installations can be integrated in one single test sequence.
iso.control offers the LinkFile generator based on user defined test routines while EasyLink is a feature that links selected standard pulses together. EasyLink is split into transient test sequences and battery supply simulation sequences. Never before automated testing was easier to achieve. Minimum operator effort for maximum test results, easy and fast, reliable and reproducible. Moreover, the LinkFile generator allows for entering of custom dialogs if wanted being included in the test report. |

Controller for external measuring equipment
|
No matter if you want to verify the test pulse before conducting a test or to monitor the DUT's behaviour during test iso.control supports the integration of external measuring device via GPIB bus for such purpose. Very few remote control commands are required to set-up your instrument.
The Pulse Check function allows pulse verification before testing. The results are transfered into a separate verification report. The more complexe an DUT is the higher is the demand for monitoring during the test and control the test based on the feedback received. A test can be stopped at any point a malfunction may occur. Or if less severe iso.control will set a mark indicating where the DUT has failed to operate as expected. |

Complete reporting according to international standards requirements
|
iso.control offers a complete test report of all tests perfomed as required by international standards.
The header includes all general data of the test (e.g atmospheric conditions etc.). A summary of test results is given. Test parameter settings are included. Graphics of the test pulses accomplish the parameter settings. Recorded fail events are stated along with the comments entered by the operator. The test data is stored in Rich-Text-Format and can be post-processed with any software tool recognising rtf-format (e.g Microsoft Word). Using respective mask files the test report can be arranged and printed out to comply with company specific requirements. |

Testing beyond standard requirements
|
Micropulse and Load Dump test requirements differ widely between the various standards and test requirements. To ensure highest flexibility EM TEST offers a new pulse configuration mode within iso.control based on the hardware abilities of the new UCS 200N and LD 200N. Pulse parameters like rise time, pulse duration and source impedance can be varied in a wide range using a pulse forming circuitry that fully complies with the pulse generation requirements of the new ISO 7637-2.
By means of this new feature Micropulse and Load Dump pulse testing gets far beyond standard requirements. |
