Agilent Technologies Inc has introduced the Agilent TS-8900 automotive functional test system - an off-the-shelf, standardized PXI-based solution for use in automotive electronics test applications. It is especially suited for testing medium to high pin-count electronic control units.
According to Agilent, the TS-8900 sets a new benchmark in versatility by providing up to 20 percent better throughput compared with earlier Agilent automotive functional test solutions. Using the TS-8900's simultaneous measurement channel capabilities, manufacturers will be able to employ new test methodologies to improve test coverage, including, for example, untested pin monitoring for random spikes that can signify defects in the control unit.
"Quality has always been a priority with automotive manufacturers," said Daniel Mak, Vice President of Agilent's Measurement Systems Division. "Many recent industrial recall episodes had their root causes in undetected faults in electronic control units, which proved to be costly oversights."
The TS-8900 will be unveiled at the IPC APEX 2011 tradeshow at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Convention Center in Las Vegas, USA. It will begin shipping May 31.
