Use the High-Power Production Test Base System Maintenance Software to do the following:

• Check whether the system contains correct components
• Interactively reset, self-test, and self-calibrate components that support those operations
• Check continuity between the internal system components and the mass interconnect

To check continuity, you also need the field diagnostic tester (FDT), a hardware accessory for the High-Power Production Test Base System.

NI-PowerSignalsDAQ is an NI instrument driver that lets you control the Power Signals DAQ, which is composed of several individual instruments, interconnecting cables, and interposers within High-Power Production Test Base System. This instrument driver also supports contactless current sensors inside the test system and/or within fixtures attached to the Test System. NI-PowerSignalsDAQ includes .NET API and example programs in C#.

The NI-PowerSignalsDAQ API relies on the RM-26999 and supporting hardware to take measurements from signals located on J15 and J18 of the mass interconnect.

• Current measurements are taken using a current transducer. The signal level is routed back to the RM-26999 through the mass interconnect on J18.
• Voltage measurements are taken on J15 of the mass interconnect.
