Automotive End-of-Line Test

"NI TestStand provided an out-of-the-box solution that reduced development time by supplying a number of key features, while LabVIEW contained the native functionality for controlling the necessary test system hardware. "

Successful automotive end-of-line test systems are able to stimulate, measure, and validate the functionality of automotive ECUs, mechanical parts, and systems. Important factors include high test throughput, test completeness, and low system and upgrade costs. Automotive end-of-line testers often have unique requirements such as embedded network connectivity, short time to market, and higher integration with vision, motion, industrial, and other test systems.

Additional Case Studies


The NI automated test platform begins with the NI PXI modular instrumentation platform and the LabVIEW graphical system design environment for writing individual tests. Multiple tests and test systems are integrated with the NI TestStand test executive. With open connectivity to traditional systems and commercial-off-the-shelf hardware, NI automated test systems take advantage of the latest PC technology and integrate easily with existing test systems.

Build Your Automotive Test System Using NI PXI

PXI is the standard platform for automated test applications. With a Windows or real-time controller, chassis, and I/O specific to the product to test, a PXI system is the ideal solution for end-of-line test. Select the appropriate chassis, controller, and modules for your application and let the PXI advisor recommend the necessary components and accessories to complete your system.

  • Customize your test system by choosing only the components you need
  • Select accessories for signal conditioning and connectivity
  • Print an itemized list or visit the online store to purchase your system
