Hardware
The fastest way to get started is with our design services. We can typically get you a custom test setup within two weeks.
Custom test equipment is a strategic investment that pays dividends throughout your product’s lifecycle. While general-purpose tools have their place, purpose-built test hardware delivers compelling advantages:
- Lower total cost - Dedicated hardware optimized for your specific tests is often more cost-effective than general-purpose equipment, especially at scale
- Tighter integration - Purpose-built interfaces mean seamless communication with your test framework, enabling true automation
- Higher reliability - Hardware designed for a specific test case can be made more robust and reliable than adapting general-purpose equipment
We’ve developed a range of modular test hardware blocks that deliver these benefits while remaining flexible enough to adapt to your needs. Some of our most popular modules include:
- Battery Cell Simulator (8-channel): Simulates 8 individual battery cells, often used for testing Battery Management Systems (BMS). Typically features voltage and current control per channel, isolation, and stackability.
- Thermistor Reader (8-channel): Measures temperature from up to 8 thermistors simultaneously.
- Heater Controller: Controls a heating element, useful for thermal testing or environment simulation.
- Analog Input (4-channel): Reads up to 4 analog voltage signals.
- Analog Output (4-channel): Generates up to 4 analog voltage signals.
- Relay Module: Switches higher power or isolated circuits using electromechanical relays.
- CAN Interface: Enables communication with devices on a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus.
- Black Magic Debugger Interface: Standard JTAG/SWD connector compatible with Black Magic Probe debuggers.
- Digital Variable Resistor: Software-controlled resistance, useful for simulating sensors or tuning analog circuits.
