CAMI Research Launches Cable Tester With Programmer's Interface

Acton, MA - CAMI Research's CableEye Cable and Wire Harness Tester normally ships with a complete software application for production, incoming inspection, and R&D. We now provide an optional "Application Programming Interface" (API), a software library that 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 over all 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 MÙ, 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.
