Software upgrades cable and wire harness tester
A major software upgrade for the CableEye cable and wire harness tester helps users to visualise complex wiring.
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.
