Univerzální SW struktura pro oblast automatizace testování senzorů

Abstract

The diploma thesis deals with the development of universal SW architecture for the testing area and automation of sensor measurement. This work came into being at Continental Powertrain Czech Republic s.r.o., a company which develops and manufactures automotive sensors. The thesis describes the academic analysis of possible solutions of a tester from the perspective of SW templates and what advantages and disadvantages they bring.

The description is a step-by-step solution and possible approaches that have been considered in developing a functional modular and versatile SW tester. The general description graphically shows the way of communication between individual modules, the synchronization tools usage and timing of measurement in the selected architecture. In the practical part, the description is converted and implemented into functional code in the NI LabVIEW development environment.

At the end of the thesis, the developed SW tester architecture is checked on a generic sensor with suitable measuring devices. The measurement was designed so that it is possible to verify the synchronization and sequential processing of the real recorded datas, with different number of measured values and different sampling periods of selected measuring devices.
