Reliably and Accurately Test Ultrasound Transducers
Increasingly complex designs of ultrasound devices present serious challenges to test groups to ensure quality and regulatory necessities. Demand for enhanced special resolution has greatly increased channel density and measurement resolution in transducer test. Couple this with expectation of battery operation, higher resolution displays, wireless connectivity and miniaturization of the complete device, and an ideal testing solution must now:
- Provide a rapid configuration of test solutions to address new and existing product and subassembly test needs for multiple process steps.
- Scale to meet future ultrasound device needs while minimizing additional code development and recertification.
- Ease global supply chain and sustaining challenges with a COTS approach.
Ultrasound Transducer and Device Test
- PXI provides a small form factor and comprehensive I/O that allows for quick and highly accurate test.
- PXI switch modules reduce cost and footprint as the number of transducers in probe grows.
- PXI waveform generators provide more than 20 MHz bandwidth of continuous waveform streaming.
- PXI LCR meter can provide up to 2 MHz stimulus frequency and 40 V DC bias voltage.
- Production test software—like NI TestStand and NI SystemLink™ software for systems management, and NI InstrumentStudio™ software for extended monitoring and debugging capabilities—provides quick integration with NI PXI hardware.
