Powerful, Flexible Performance for Powertrain Testing

VX-In is an integrated test system developed by A&D, based on our years of powertrain testing experience. It utilizes a real-time operating system, enabling VX-In to handle complex sequence and control procedures. By combining this solid design with a high-performance Windows XP- or 2000-based operator interface workstation, VX-In gives users the best of both worlds: accurate, reliable testing, the Windows environment and a powerful processing package.

Software Features

• Runs under Windows XP or 2000
• Includes Runtime for operation and Test Manager for configuration
• Field-proven design used in millions of hours of documented testing
• True "bumpless" transfer allows totally smooth and seamless transition between any control modes
• Macro capability combines several operations
• "Road-record" function lets you run a test based on data files from actual vehicle operations
• Multiple levels of system security
• A comprehensive software library of user-definable control buttons, slidebars, meter faces, bar charts and strip charts gives engineers complete flexibility to design unique test display and control screens to meet their specific requirements.
• Runs emission test cycles and reports
