LabView Based Measurement System Design for Data Acquisition During HTOL Tests at TranSIC AB

TranSIC AB needs to conduct High Temperature Operating Life (HTOL) tests on silicon carbide transistors in order to ensure product reliability and gather information for development purposes. The goal of this master thesis was to select measurement related hardware and develop LabView software capab...

Calculations and hardware requirements resulted in the purchase and system integration of a Agilent 34972A data logger with three 34901A 20 channel multiplexer expansion cards. LabView software was programmed using a extended Producer/Consumer Design Pattern as the main structure.
