LVTGO-VBS  

Battery Voltage Disturbance simulator

Starting an engine on a vehicle should be a well understood process after so many years. However the supply voltage disturbance that occurs when large current are drawn from the battery can cause major problems in today's sophisticated electronics environments. Large systems of systems communicating over multiple buses are highly susceptible and new stop start systems will accentuate this.  LVTGO will identify and allow reproduction of susceptibilities in individual components or entire systems.

How it works

 

The LVTGO-VBS is a small robust easy to use test system that can be used to tease out the various timing and voltage related faults that can occur in a complex system subjected to varying power supplies. The unit can be supplied from a vehicle battery or a suitable basic high current power supply.

Easily configured from a user friendly Windows based configuration  environment the system applies a wide range of Voltage variations to a system under test. Pseudo random variations over many cycles can be performed and results logged.

 

 

Profiles can then be  reproduced to allow investigation of failure mechanisms. 


The electronic drive circuitry allows high speed profiles to be produced even into heavy and/or capacitive loads.

 

The new captured/defined waveform play  facility allows replay of problematic wavefors. This facility effectively allows the unit to act as a high power Arbitrary Waveform Generator
