Long-term measurement

Test the long-term and temperature stability of your sensors. Seskion supports climate chamber measurements with configurable data reduction, limit monitoring and targeted error recording.

  • Measurements lasting days or weeks
  • Statistics to reduce data volume
  • Snapshots before and after an error
Long-term measurement

Challenge and solution

Long-term measurement in practice

01

Sensors in a climate chamber

Multiple sensors operate over days or weeks while undergoing temperature cycles. Their data must remain plausible throughout the measurement.

02

The appropriate measurement system

The PSI5-Simulyzer can serve smaller setups. For high sensor counts, the modular Simulyzer-RT offers more sensor interface slots and allows different interfaces to be tested simultaneously.

03

Record operating conditions

Sensor supply voltages and currents, analogue reference signals and the climate chamber temperature can be recorded alongside sensor signals.

Data reduction

Continuous statistics. Detail when an event occurs.

Statistics intervals can be configured from seconds to hours. Sensor signals can also be monitored against upper and lower limits.

EvaluationContent
Number of measurement samplesNumber of acquired values per statistics interval.
Mean and standard deviationCentral value and spread of the acquired readings.
Minimum and maximumLowest and highest reading in the interval.
Bit mask and bit setpointTargeted monitoring of individual bit signals.

Capture errors in context

A limit violation triggers a real-time snapshot. The recording intervals before and after the trigger are configurable.
