The signal source and detection equipment module provide various electrical signals required for the test and the detection function of the electrical signal. The optoelectronic conversion module realizes the conversion of the input optical signal into the electrical signal and outputs the optical signal to the device under test.

[0025] The software architecture of the communication module mainly consists of four parts, namely the driver layer, middleware, application layer and execution layer. Here, the driver layer mainly implements the driver function of the hardware interface; the middleware mainly provides the interface functions and library files required for the operation of the host computer, and implements software communication protocols such as the multi-function vehicle bus (MVB); the application layer mainly completes the function function, and interacts with the middleware by calling the shared library during the operation; the execution layer mainly implements the relevant control logic of data processing and completes the relevant configuration of the network port. After the communication module is powered on, the system initializes the system through the initialization function and performs initialization configuration.

The formation of the electrical path is mainly completed by the relay array module.

[0027] Furthermore, each relay board and a main controller are installed in the PXI chassis. The main controller transmits control instructions through the PXI bus in the PXI chassis to control the on and off of the relays in each relay board. Through external wiring, a bus structure including 4 buses is formed between the relay boards. One end of each bus can be connected to any signal source resource or detection resource, and the other end is connected to a group of input and output port groups. Each input and output port group has multiple input and output ports, and each input and output port can be connected to the input or output port of a functional circuit on the device under test. Each bus can be connected to one signal resource and / or multiple detection resources at the same time (if necessary and there is no conflict between the resources), and each bus can be connected to one input or output port of the circuit under test at the same time. In this way, the tooling can provide multiple signal resources and detection resources to one functional circuit of the device under test at the same time, which can meet the electrical testing requirements of all functional circuits. The bus structure diagram is shown as follows. Figure 2 shown.

Can detect physical quantities such as DC current, DC voltage, AC current, impedance, etc. Can provide a higher voltage DC voltage output. As an excitation source for the optical signal output by the device under test in the photoelectric conversion module.

[0030] Furthermore, the function of the photoelectric conversion module is to convert the optical signal output by the device under test into an electrical signal for the platform to detect. And the electrical signal output by the platform is converted into an optical signal and provided to the device under test. The photoelectric conversion module consists of six photoelectric conversion circuit boards, which can realize 36-way photoelectric conversion and 36-way electro-optical conversion.

[0031] Furthermore, the test software in the main controller is programmed using the LabView graphical programming language. LabView has a rich virtual instrument driver function and can communicate with various signal sources, detection equipment, relay boards, bus interface devices and gateways in the tooling.

[0032] Furthermore, the main controller at least includes a test process configuration file and a test standard configuration file reading module, a test process execution module, a test result report generation module, a system monitoring and error handling module, a human-computer interaction module and a user management module.

[0033] Furthermore, the test process configuration file and test standard configuration file reading module reads the data in the test process configuration file and test standard configuration file corresponding to the device under test, and the platform software uses these data to control the test execution module to complete the automatic testing process of the device under test and determine the test results.

[0034] Furthermore, the test process execution module uses the test process data and the test standard data to control the operation of each device in the platform, read the data returned by each device, and complete the entire test process of the device under test.

[0035] Furthermore, the test result report generation module outputs the test result of the device under test obtained by the test process execution module to an Excel file according to a predefined format, and saves the Excel file on the local hard disk of the controller.

[0036] Furthermore, the system monitoring and error handling module monitors whether the working status of each device in the platform is normal and whether the input and output electrical signals are within the allowable range. If the tooling equipment is abnormal or the input and output electrical signals exceed the allowable range, the module automatically stops the platform and reports an error or alarm to the operator through the human-computer interaction interface.

[0037] Furthermore, the human-computer interaction module controls the human-computer interaction interface to display the current test items and test results, and executes operations such as starting a test and stopping a test.
