Test-Controller

The addition of a Test Controller transforms the Q.bloxx modules into a powerful test automation and control system.

The Test Controller is the interface between the Q.bloxx modules and the respective automation system, handling all of the synchronization, data buffering, control, and transfer of data to the automation system (typically on a PC). Different application requirements (number of points, maximum throughput rates, programming and control requirements, etc.) will dictate which Test Controller is best suited.The Test Controllers connect via Ethernet TCP/IP for configuration of the entire measurement system (including the Q.bloxxs), and for basic data acquisition and transfer tasks.
