Variation
FM Version ≥ 8.03.04
The Automotive industry is facing the necessity to investigate
the behavior of the battery voltage variations and their effects to
electronic components connected to the supply network of the
cars, testing emission and immunity.
The
two
major
international
procedures to simulate different phenomena's related to the
battery supply lines are ISO 16750-2 for 12V and 24V supply
voltages and ISO 21780 for 48V supply voltage.

  • Page 39: Maintenance

    In reply to all these questions we like to approach this issue as follows: AMETEK CTS make use of a solid state semiconductor switch technique to generate high voltage transients. A precious advantage of this technique is the absolute lack of periodical maintenance effort. In consequence thereof a useful calibration period has to be defined based on two criteria: The first one is the customer’s Quality Assurance Policy.

    8.2. Basic Waves The AutoWave generates the waves like an arbitrary generator as PointWaves, where all samples are stored in a file. As an advantage the AutoWave firmware generates the waves as segmented waves from a parameter list. This has the advantage to save a lot of memory and to create waves who can not be realized by PointWaves.
