And finally in the validation phase, where you want to check if everything that you measured is correct and complete.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nSo during each of these moments, you need to access or operate your measurement hardware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To do so, for most competitive systems on the market, you need to have a PC or laptop with the Windows operating system, this device needs to have the acquisition software pre-installed on it, you need to have the correct licenses to run this software, you need to connect the laptop or PC with a LAN (or other) cable to the measurement system, and also only one person at the same time can access the measurement equipment!<\/p>\n\n\n\nDoes this sound familiar?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, then I have good news for you. With the Simcenter SCADAS RS, none of this is needed anymore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any device, any interface, wired or wireless<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Thanks to its unique system architecture, the Simcenter SCADAS RS enables versatile and flexible access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThis means you can connect to the measurement system with any device, be it a laptop, tablet, or smartphone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nThis device can have any operating system running on it, be it Windows, Android or iOS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nYou can connect to the hardware via any interface, be it a wired interface, like USB or LAN, or wireless, like Wi-Fi or 4G\/5G.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nAnd one single user can connect to it or multiple users in parallel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThis basically means that you do not need to drag a dedicated device with you anymore whenever going to the proving ground. You can simply take your own smartphone and access the acquisition system on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYes, it is that easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to its multi-user accessibility, you can also have for example in the preparation phase two engineers checking in parallel the test setup: one engineer verifying with his smartphone a couple of sensors in the front of the machine, while another engineer is using a tablet checking some sensors fixed on another location of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQuite a time saver, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or during the actual measurement phase, you can have the test engineer sitting in the back of the vehicle checking on his laptop the measured data from a previous run, while the driver is getting notified on a tablet whenever some of the sensors are exceeding a pre-defined limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd thanks to the wireless connectivity of the Simcenter SCADAS RS, there is also no need to have the system physically next to you on the seat. You can put the complete hardware in the trunk of the vehicle and only have your laptop\/tablet\/smartphone at hand. No struggle with cables anymore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Easy track-side validation with Simcenter SCADAS RS Recorder app<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Besides the challenge of accessing your measurement equipment in a convenient way, there is the other issue of having limited or incomplete sensor information during measurement, often causing costly test re-runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many systems on the market that allow you to start & stop the measurement by simply pushing a button on the hardware itself, without the need for a PC or laptop. Very convenient! But what happens between start and stop you do not know. So it happens regularly the driver does some measurements for a couple of hours, goes back to the office, gives the data to the test engineer and the test engineer unfortunately needs to conclude that several measurements were not OK due to bad signal or test procedure quality. So the driver needs to go back to the proving ground and redo those measurements. Not so convenient anymore, don’t you agree?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, then back to the solution of connecting a PC or laptop with the acquisition software and correct licenses installed on it, I hear you thinking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No! The Simcenter SCADAS RS comes by default with a license-free app pre-installed on the hardware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This user-friendly app allows you to completely set up your measurement, verify if everything is working correctly, calibrate your sensors, measure and validate the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDuring the preparation phase, you can use for example the \u2018Single channel\u2019 view to troubleshoot your setup, check the cable wiring, or correct any sensor parameters if needed:<\/p>\n\n\n\nDuring the measurement phase, you can monitor live your data via clear and easy-to-understand displays:<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can even create your own dashboard with only those channels you would like to monitor during the measurement:<\/p>\n\n\n\nThanks to the embedded sensor & system checks, any signal anomaly or bad test procedure quality will be highlighted right before, during, or after each measurement, allowing you to do your measurement campaign with full confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAs you can see, the Simcenter SCADAS RS is a measurement system that works out-of-the-box: no need for a dedicated laptop or PC, no need to connect a cable, and no need to install extra acquisition software or licenses. You can take any device, wired or wireless and use the on-board SCADAS RS Web App to execute your test campaign in full confidence !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my next blog, I will go a step further and explain to you how you can even avoid having a test engineer in the vehicle. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
