ComTest – Test Bed Automation System
ComTest® is an advanced data acquisition and control system built for test bed automation. ComTest® is an open solution based on Windows with software building blocks for customizing test solutions according to your requirements. This scalable structure makes it possible to offer cost-effective solutions for a stand alone test bed as well as extensive test development laboratories.

Maximum utilization of test beds – 24 hours
The ComTest software implements a set of functions for alarm management that allow control and supervision of all instruments, sensors and subsystems during automated tests. This mean that tests can be run automatically 24 hours per day and night without operators being present at the test bed.

Support of best-in-class devices
Test laboratories that would like to take advantage of best-in class sensors, instruments and software tools must employ a control software that is open and compatible with industry standards.
The ComTest software offers a wide variety of different communication protocols (ASCII, AK, Mexa, Modbus, CAN, ASAP3, Windows DDE & COM )

Proven and reliable platform
All ComTest test systems share a common software platform to ensure high reliability and cost effective solutions. (Test of engines, powertrains, hybrid systems, transmissions, vehicles, valves, heat exchangers)

Merging physical and virtual data
The ComTest® software has the functionality and capacity, so test engineers can interchange simulation and physical data for real-time behavioral modeling or for driving physical tests with simulated stimuli generated by software such as MATLAB/Simulink

Efficient Testing
In achieving optimal efficiency in test bed systems, one of the most important factors is the capability to quickly and easily create the necessary product cycles and the variants of these cycles. ComTest® software has flexible test management support for efficient testing of functions and durability, as well as for certification testing.

Open software
ComTest® has an open high level Test Command Language for programming calculations and test control. This means that the user can change and add test functions as new needs develop.

Flexible user interface
The ComTest® software provides an open toolbox that lets the user build personal graphical user interfaces based on icons. The process panel is designed to be used intuitively and there is no need for programming skills to use the toolbox.

Open for customization
ComTest® is an open solution with software building blocks for customizing test solutions according to your requirements. All systems share a set of standard base modules with core test functions.
