Test pattern designing software for electrical appliance testing platformTest pattern designing software for electrical appliance testing platform Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2015-10-292007enThis paper presents the design and implementation of software for creating test patterns and communicating them to a test platform for electrical appliances as well as the architecture of the testing platform. The software lets the user design different types of voltage fluctuations, repeat and sequence them making testing Series and store them on a PC. The testing Series are communicated with special protocols to the platform. The architecture of the platform consists of a DC/AC inverter that can produce variable frequency and variable voltage up to a maximum voltage level, Spike Production Circuit to produce spikes at levels higher than that of the inverter and electronic relay circuit for switching between the inverter and the Spike Production Circuit. Microprocessors control the inverter, the Spike Production Circuit and the relay in order to produce the desired output waveform to the appliance/device-under-test. The algorithms running on the microprocessors are presented. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/236 - 241 7th International Conference on Applied Informatics and CommunicationsProceedings of the 7th WSEAS International Conference on Applied Informatics and Communications Liodakis Georgios Λιοδακης Γεωργιος Rigakis, H.
