HARDWARE-IN-LOOP (HIL) TESTING SYSTEM FOR FIRMWARE TESTS. - TMCS India

The software industry uses continuous integration (CI) extensively. CI methods are used to test firmware and software on real hardware that is easy to adapt to electronic designs and simulations. A developer could go through and manually watch these signals while testing, but that would waste a lot of time. Instead, a developer can build in tools that use the HIL test system to automatically sample desirable states. By adding hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, developers can get more out of unit tests, regression tests, and functional tests. HIL testing can be very helpful for making sure that hardware accesses are working as expected and that all system outputs are also working as expected. When combined with HIL testing, continuous development (CD), continuous integration (CI), and continuous testing (CT) can speed up development, save money, and make the end product better.

How HIL Functions:

In HIL testing, a device and the environment are used to make the electronic control unit (ECU) feel like it is responding to real-world conditions. All the required electronic parts are present on the HIL test bench. In order to determine whether the system under test responds correctly to the inputs, a simulator exposes inputs to real systems, which then send signals to them.

Take the case of NI HIL testing for automobiles. A scenario where a car moving at 60 kmph around a bend in the rain runs into an unidentified object in the road or an approaching car veering across the center line can be created using HIL test scripts. The HIL test bench is equipped with cameras and radar that provide images to the ECU, which then uses that information to make decisions about what to do next. 

Advantages of HIL:

For a number of reasons, HIL testing is an essential step in the modern software development process:

Without spending the time and money on physical testing, HIL testing may simulate hundreds or thousands of scenarios.

Situations that would be too risky or impractical to test in hazardous conditions can be accommodated by HIL testing.

The HIL tests can be repeated.

The HIL testing procedure is highly automated and supports multithreading, enabling numerous tests to run concurrently and accelerating the development process.

HIL offers a regular software release cycle with predictable system behavior.

Although HIL testing takes place after SIL testing, it still falls under the purview of the CI/CD/CT process and allows developers to find any issues before the product is released.

Results of HIL tests can be communicated to third parties and company development teams, accelerating the development process. Quality, dependability, and safety are all benefited from this.

HIL testing using NI:

HIL tests use simulation and modeling to evaluate embedded software on automotive ECUs. This cuts test times and increases coverage, especially for test cases that are hard to recreate in physical lab/track/field testing accurately. More than ever, HIL testing is required to guarantee the dependability of EV and ADAS/Active Safety systems that are developing quickly. As a test method, HIL is essential for figuring out how systems and vehicle domains are getting increasingly connected and dependent on each other as they work together to produce important vehicle qualities. The NI HIL solutions are open and adaptable.

My supervisor at my museum job, going over fire alarm protocol with me: so obviously people take precedence over instruments

Me: … 🤨

Supervisor: but look once everyone’s safe if you want to risk your life for an instrument you’re more than welcome to -

Me: the octave virginal

Supervisor: *deep sigh*

Me: it’s RIGHT THERE (just inside the door of the nearest gallery, all of 20 feet from the front desk) and I could carry it under one arm, I’m not leaving it

Supervisor: …fine. Anyway, back to the protocol please…

My beloved 🥰 She’s from around 1530, is so much more beautiful than this picture shows, and will be on display through December 2024. Come see her while you can!!

(And if you happen to swing by while I’m working at the front desk, if I’m not too busy and the museum isn’t too crowded, I’ll happily give you a little mini-tour of the special keyboard exhibit where she’s currently living. I’m not an expert, but this is what I’m studying so I’ll have a few fun facts and bits of more technical information for anyone interested 😉)

Queen Mary Harp - (National Museum, Edinburgh). The Queen Mary harp, (clarsach) dating from the 15th century or possibly before, is among the oldest surviving Celtic Harps in Scotland. The woodwork is richly decorated with scroll-work, geometric designs, and carvings of animals. According to a story associated with the harp, Mary Queen of Scots gave the instrument to a female ancestor (by marriage) of the Robertson family of Lude, in Perthshire. Another theory is that the harp previously belonged to an Ulster harp player who died in Scotland. The Celtic harp (clarsach), is believed to be the true and most ancient instrumental accompaniment of Gaelic song.

A Guide To Data Acquistion System - TMCS India

A data acquisition system is a system that consists of a computer, measurement devices, and sensors. Processing acquired data requires a data acquisition system, which gathers the information needed to comprehend electrical and physical processes. 

For the purposes of engineering or scientific research, data acquisition systems can collect information about a real-world system and store it in an understandable, retrievable manner.

Essential components of Data Acquisition System:  

Sensors:

Interacting with the entity being measured is the primary function of sensors and transducers. They convert physical phenomena like light, temperature, pressure, position, sound, etc. into a measurable signals like Voltage & Current. 

Signal Conditioners:

The electrical signals collected by the sensors may be distorted by noise or interference and require processing before they can be used. Sometimes the signals are too weak for the data acquisition system to pick up. As a result, supplementary circuitry is employed for signal optimization. A signal conditioner is a technical term for this additional hardware. Therefore, signal conditioning is the act of making the signals as error-free as possible.

Analog-to-Digital Converters:

This DAQ module is responsible for digitizing analog inputs. It is the function of this chip to take information from its surrounding environment and translate it into discrete levels that a computer can understand.

Software Application (NI LabVIEW):

NI LabVIEW is well equipped for creating DAQ applications and it also supports many hardware devices. Within a manufacturing environment, LabVIEW is widely used for automated product testing, becoming the standard for the industry. Possible Integration with multiple hardware platforms makes LabVIEW  the a Preferred Software development platform  for engineers, designers and research scientists.

Parameters Measured on DAQ:

Many different parameters can be measured using a data acquisition system, including the following:

* Current

* Voltage

* Strain

* Frequency or time interval

* Pressure

* Temperature

* Distance

* Vibration

* Angles

* Digital signals

* Weight

Benefits of DAQ System:

* Accurate 

* Flexible 

* Scalable 

* Programmable 

DAQ Applications:

Automotive:

In order to ensure that the manufactured automobile parts are of the highest quality, data acquisition software & equipments are used.

NI Instruments: 

The data acquisition (DAQ) devices offered by National Instruments are organized into distinct groups to facilitate the quick and simple selection. Types of these systems, such as temperature and strain, or common form factors, are used to quantify them.

Aerospace Defense: 

Data acquisition products are used by virtually every aerospace industry and flight testing facility. These systems can function in a wide variety of contexts and conditions. Every DAQ system is put through its paces in the lab, in the telemetry control room, on the engine test stand, and on the flight line to make sure it performs as well as it needs to. 

There are a wide variety of uses for these systems, including monitoring direct analog inputs or digitized parameters being tele-metered from an aircraft to a ground monitoring station, flight testing, range safety, missile testing, maintenance, and troubleshooting on (or next to) an aircraft, electromechanical testing in an aircraft hangar, component testing & validation, structural testing on military vehicles, and more.

Electronics:

The electronics sector makes use of data acquisition systems. They are used to measure heat output, resistance, conductivity, magnetics, etc., all of which play a role in electrical design.
