CAMI Research's CableEye Cable and Wire Harness Tester normally ships with a complete software application for production, incoming inspection, and R&D. An "Application Programming Interface" (API) software library now enables control of the tester by an external program. Test engineers may now write software for CableEye in Visual Basic, VB.NET, C++, C#, or from any software environment that can host our Active-X software interface. The API provides a library of software primitives used to exercise control overall basic functions of the tester.
This permits engineers to embed the tester's function within a larger system that may include electrical cable lockdown, label printing equipment, pass-fail marking devices, diverter gates, and automatic molding equipment. Engineers may even write their own fully-custom user interface for the tester for special, simplified applications like a touch-screen display. The CableEye tester checks cables and wire harnesses for opens, shorts, and miswires, measures diode forward voltage, checks resistance values over the range of 0.3 §Ù to 10 M§Ù, and tests conduction and isolation resistance against specified thresholds. The CableEye Model M3U Cable Tester sells for $2195 for 152 test points and is expandable to over 2000 points.
The API option adds $495 to the system price for a site license. Available from stock.
