Software improves control for wire harness tester

A CAMI Research product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 20, 2008

Test engineers may now write software for CableEye in Visual Basic, VB.NET, C++, C#, or from any software environment that can host the company's Active-X software interface.

CAMI Research's CableEye cable and wire harness tester normally ships with a complete software application for production, incoming inspection and R and D.

The company now provides an optional application programming interface (API), a software library that enables control of the tester by an external program.

Test engineers may now write software for CableEye in Visual Basic, VB.NET, C++, C#, or from any software environment that can host the company's Active-X software interface.

The API provides a library of software primitives used to exercise control overall basic functions of the tester.

This permits engineers to embed the tester's function within a larger system that may include electrical cable lockdown, label printing equipment, pass-fail marking devices, diverter gates and automatic moulding equipment.

Engineers may even write their own custom user interface for the tester for simplified applications like a touch-screen display.

The CableEye tester checks cables and wire harnesses for opens, shorts and miswires, measures diode forward voltage, checks resistance values and tests conduction and isolation resistance against specified thresholds.
