Method of designing computational process of testing equipment

Method of designing computational process of testing equipment

Diagnostic tests are created when testing electronic devices. By executing a test, the computational testing process is realised and data packets are generated in an input/output device. The input/output device generates signals at outputs; the control equipment performs display and control of the computational process. The computational process is executed by the control equipment, and specifically generates diagnostic tests, executes the computational testing process and sends data packets to the input/output device by transit through a computational unit having software which realises communication between the control equipment and the input/output device. Information from the control equipment is recorded in the input/output device by the control equipment generating a packet in dashboard interface protocol format with an information recording feature, from which F packets are generated in highway interface protocol format, which are transmitted to the computational unit which, upon receiving the F packets, generates a packet in dashboard interface protocol format and sends said packet to the input/output device, thereby recording information.

Method to determine margins of stability of steering gear and device for its implementation

First a logarithmic frequency characteristic is taken in a section of a circuit of an electromechanical and power part of a drive by means of supply of a harmonic signal to its inlet, for instance, from an analyser of frequency characteristics, and then a zero signal is set to the gear inlet, an outlet link of the gear is loaded with a harmonic force, for instance, with a loader, to the inlet of which a harmonic signal is sent from the second analyser of frequency characteristics, and the logarithmic frequency characteristic is taken in the electric part of the control system. Using the sum of logarithmic frequency characteristics, they produce a logarithmic frequency characteristic of an open circuit of a drive, and on its basis they determine margins of gear stability by amplitude and phase. Also a device is proposed to determine margins of steering gear stability comprising two analysers of frequency characteristics, of the loader and the gear.
