Test Equipment Assets

This page is a photographic list of testing equipment in use by TU-CRRC.

1. The Racelogic VBox 3i is a state of the art GPS based speed sensor. The GPS engine samples at 100 Hz. Also, the unit supports other input modules and CAN messages from vehicles. The calibration certificate for this unit is available as a scanned .jpg image (932 KB).
   
   
   
2. Racelogic 6 degree of freedom inertial measurement unit for the VBox 3i. The Certificate of Conformity is available as a scanned .jpg image (1.1 MB).
   
   
   
3. J1939 9-pin CAN cable for the Racelogic VBox 3i. This is used to read data from the J1939 bus on commercial vehicles. See the Paccar PX-8 Engine example for more information. This cable can power the VBox 3i through the SER port on the unit.
   
   
   
4. The Bosch CDR Kit is used to extract event data from passenger vehicles.
   
   
   
5. The consortium has access to 2 Vericom VC4000DAQ units.

6. Three 50G Accelerometers can be used with the VC4000 to sample a crash pulse at 1000 Hz. The steel plates are for easy mounting on a vehicle floor board. The cable is covered with split loom wiring to protect from abrasions.
   
   
   
   
7. A Video VBox Lite provides 2 video feeds with a 10 Hz GPS signal superposed over the top of the video image. The VBox lite can monitor 1 external CAN channel.
   
   
   
8. The Stalker ATS Radar records speed through a serial port. A dedicated netbook accompanies the radar to record the speed. The radar also has a dedicated tripod.
   
   
   
9. A triaxial accelerometer can be used to measure crash pulses. This accelerometer is designed to interface with a 0-5V input data acquisition unit. This unit can measure up to 70G with a wide bandwidth of DC-10,000 Hz. A 600 deg/s rate gyro accompanies the triaxial accelerometer for a 6DOF crash sensing solution.

10. The DAQ system for the crash sensing accelerometers and rate gyro is a National Instruments CompactRIO.
    
11. Intercomp Racing Scales are capable of measuring four individual wheel weights up to 1500 lb each. These are wireless.
    
12. S-Beam Load Cell (10,000 lb) can be used to do full scale drag tests with vehicles. The rod ends take 3/4" bolts.
