MCD TestSuite

MCD Tool Monitors – Flexible hardware integration

Easily integrate hardware and efficiently expand test processes

The MCD tool monitors enable quick and efficient integration of a wide variety of hardware components, measuring devices and external systems into individual test environments. As expansion modules of the MCD TestSuite, they provide standardized interfaces and functions, which reduces development effort and allows test systems to be flexibly expanded. Whether measuring devices, power supplies, oscilloscopes, robot systems, databases or communication interfaces, the tool monitors enable convenient control, monitoring and evaluation directly within the test environment. This makes complex testing tasks easier to implement and existing systems can be adapted to new requirements in the long term. For developers, this means shorter integration times, greater reusability of functions and a reliable basis for efficient testing and verification processes in development, validation and production.
