Basic Automotive Test Products Catalog

Introduction

The automotive industry has introduced technologies to improve safety, performance, and the overall driving experience. Many of these transformations have centered on advances in electronics and sensors to create a vehicle that can think for itself. Complex solutions around the connected car, electric vehicles, and autonomous driving have increased testing requirements to ensure a vehicle meets all design specifications. However, not all testing requires complex solutions to ensure the car’s safety, performance, and driving experience is amazing for drivers, passengers, and the environment.

Welcome to the world of basic test tools for the automotive industry from Keysight Technologies. This catalog summarizes our most effective and affordable tools to meet many of the testing requirements for today’s advanced vehicles. These test solutions are available from Keysight and our authorized distributors.

Increasing Speed, Safety, and Reliability  of In-Vehicle Communications Networks

Modern vehicles contain hundreds of electronic modules and sensors communicating over a variety of serial buses with electronic control units (ECUs). Advanced technologies, such as collision avoidance and autonomous driving, require increasingly faster transmission rates that must be error-free across these automotive buses. Oscilloscopes are the most common tool used to test and debug automotive electronic signals. However, not all oscilloscopes are equal.

Keysight offers a variety of frequency ranges (50 MHz–110 GHz) and formats (bench, USB, modular, handheld, probes, and accessories) to meet all your scope testing needs. Keysight’s InfiniiVision 3000T, 4000, and 6000 X-Series and Infiniium S-Series oscilloscopes offer automotive software bundles for serial trigger and decode of most automotive serial buses (for example, CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, FlexRay, SENT, PSI5, NRZ, CXPI, and automotive Ethernet).

The 3000T and 4000 X-Series oscilloscopes deliver refresh rates of 1 million waveforms per second, capturing infrequent glitches and errors that can be safety-critical. The S-Series scopes provide a fast, easy way to verify and debug today’s demanding automotive Ethernet transceiver test requirements.

Automotive System Analysis

Need data? Keysight has delivered data acquisition (DAQ) and switching solutions for more than 25 years. DAQ solutions include voltage, current, power, temperature, strain, vibration and acoustic measurement, environmental testing, durability, engine monitoring, battery testing, and signal routing applications.

Keysight’s DAQ970A data acquisition system offers a three-slot mainframe with nine switch-and-control plug-in modules. It comes with a built-in 6½-digit (22-bit) digital multimeter (DMM). The Keysight 34980A multifunction switch / measure unit is a one-box test solution. It offers fast switching speeds and high channel counts for medium to high-density switch / measure applications in design verification, automated test, and data acquisition.
