Equipment already developed by the Laboratory:

Functional Test Bench

Test Bench with the ability to check the correctness of the test sample. Functional Test Bench is capable to be used for different type of products:
  • Analog measurements (e.g. resistance, voltage)
  • LIN / CAN functionality check
  • Verification / control backlighting
  • Memory status check
  • Automatization of test sequences
