In the test laboratory, appropriate measuring equipment must be available for this purpose, which can generate the interference power over a frequency range and can act on the sensor under test in a conducted or non-conducted manner. The sensor to be tested is placed in a test chamber. A commercially available PSI5 converter for optical transmission must be located in the test chamber as well. At the other end of the optical path, outside the test chamber, there is again a converter to electrical PSI5 data traffic. The PSI5 Simulyzer is connected to it and is operated in ECU mode. A PC software, which is connected to the PSI5-Simulyzer via USB interface, analyses the PSI5 transmission for errors and the sensor signals for plausibility. The evaluated PSI5 data traffic is recorded on hard disk for later analysis.
The PSI5 Simulyzer can communicate with the control program of the HF generator via a digital input and a digital output. The PSI5 Simulyzer can signal via its digital output that an error has occurred. The digital input of the PSI5 Simulyzer can be used to cause the Simulyzer to delete stored errors and resume communication without errors.
