M-TEST 7 Graphical Data Output

Description
Magtrol’s new M-TEST 7 is a state-of-the-art motor
testing program for PC (Windows® XP SP3/7/8 ) based
data acquisition. Used with a Magtrol Programmable
Dynamometer Controller, M‑TEST 7 works with any Magtrol
Dynamometer or In-Line Torque Transducer to help determine
the performance characteristics of a motor under test. Up to 63
parameters are calculated and displayed utilizing M‑TEST 7’s
feature-rich testing and graphing capabilities.
An integral component of any Magtrol Motor Test System,
M-TEST 7 performs ramp, curve, manual, pass/fail, coast
and overload to trip tests in a manner best suited to the overall
efficiency of the test rig. Written in LabVIEW™, M-TEST
7 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.

Measurement
Up to 128 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 7, with its complete dynamometer
control, even allows for analog measurement while performing
load simulation for duty cycle and life testing.

Applications
M-TEST 7—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.
