Master the Entire Measurement Chain from A to Z

In the framework of vehicle development, along with the measured data it is always necessary to also log and evaluate physical parameters such as temperature, voltage, acceleration and many more. In their pursuit of development success, automotive OEMs and suppliers face significant challenges in terms of measurement data rates and the reliability and flexibility of the tools that are being used.

They can complete their development projects faster and overcome growing complexity by using a perfectly tuned tool chain consisting of measurement modules, data loggers and software tools for online acquisition of measurement data, data analysis and data management. This enables them to master the entire measurement chain from A to Z.

Measuring quickly, precisely and flexibly: The mobile and extremely rugged measurement modules of our partner CSM have been optimized for use in vehicles and test benches. In addition to traditional application areas, Vector and CSM offer a product line of special high-voltage products to give you the best possible support in the development of electric and hybrid vehicles.

Software

For analog measurement technology, Vector offers a complete line-up of high-performance software products for acquiring, analyzing and managing measurement data. The vMeasure exp software tool can be used to perform complex measurement tasks conveniently and efficiently. You get the best possible support: from configuration of the test setup to the acquisition of measurement data and its graphical evaluation.
Users can very quickly lose sight of what is important due to the sheer quantity of measurement data. You can use vSignalyzer to quickly evaluate measurement data of all types in a very user-friendly way. vMDM assists you with simple yet powerful instruments for data analysis and data mining, automatic report generation and systematic data storage – including in the Vector cloud.
