Magtrol's M-TEST
5.0 is a state-of-the-art motor testing program for PC (Windows®
2000/XP) based data acquisition. Used with a Magtrol Programmable
Dynamometer Controller, M-TEST 5.0 works with any Magtrol
Dynamometer or In-Line Torque Transducer to help determine
the performance characteristics of a motor under test. Up
to 22 parameters are calculated and displayed utilizing M-TEST
5.0's feature-rich
testing and graphing capabilities.
 An
integral component of any Magtrol Motor Test System, M-TEST
5.0 performs ramp, curve, manual and pass/fail tests in a
manner best suited to the overall efficiency of the test rig.
Written in LabVIEW™, M-TEST 5.0 has the flexibility to test
a variety of motors in a multitude of configurations. The
data generated from this user-friendly program can be stored,
displayed and printed in tabular or graphical formats, and
is easily imported into a spreadsheet.
Magtrol can also make custom modifications to the software
to meet additional motor testing requirements.
Sensor Input
Measurement
Temperature measurement—previously an add-on feature that
had to be purchased separately—is now included in M-TEST 5.0.
Up to 32 thermocouples or analog sensors can be read and monitored
during a motor test. Heat rise curves on the bearings, windings
and housing of a motor can be performed and air flow/exhaust
efficiencies can be measured with an air tool or internal
combustion engine. M-TEST 5.0, with its complete dynamometer
control, even allows for sensor measurement while performing
load simulation for duty cycle and life testing.
Applications
M-TEST 5.0—besides being well-suited for simulating loads,
cycling the unit under test and motor ramping—is also ideal
for production line and inspection applications, due to its
pass/fail test function. Another time-saving feature that
engineering labs will benefit from, is the ability to duplicate
tests and run them automatically. This versatile program is
extremely valuable to anyone involved in motor testing.
