M-Test 7 Motor Testing Software

Magtrol's M-TEST 7 is a state-of-the-art motor testing program for PC (Windows® 7 SP1) 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.

M-TEST 7 Viewer

M-TEST 7 Viewer allows the user to create or modify most items in a test setup, and view, graph or compare data – everything standard M-TEST 7 does except communicate with instruments. With the communication functions removed the program is much smaller in size, making it faster to download and install. Free download, unlimited use.

License Verification via Crypkey Casper E-Register

Casper eRegister provides automatic authorization of M-TEST 7 using serial numbers. With this solution, the customer pre-pays the license fee and is then provided with a serial number to automatically obtain a code to unlock M-TEST 7 via the Internet. Casper eRegister works 24/7/365, without human intervention.

Just click on the electronic registration button on the M-TEST 7 license configuration screen.

Analog Input 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.

Other Features

Multiple Testing Options:
Ramp: Select from average ramp down/up or ramp down with inertia correction factor. Also allows extrapolation of free-run and locked-rotor data, plus interpolation of specific speed or torque data points.
Curve: Test speed, torque, amps, watts input, watts output and open loop parameters. Capable of adjusting sampling rate and using step or ramp from one load point to the next.
Manual: Runs test from front panel of the Dynamometer Controller while computer acquires data. Allows adjustment of sampling rate.
Pass/Fail: Checks amps, input watts (with optional Power Analyzer), speed, torque and output watts against user-defined values.
Coast: Counts degrees of revolution after power is removed.
Overload to trip: Loads and monitors temperature until the motors thermal cutout trips.
Displays 63 Tested & Calculated Parameters: Torque, speed and auxiliary input are displayed from the DSP6000/6001/7000 Controller; amps, volts and watts from an (optional) power analyzer. Calculated values including horsepower, efficiency, power factor, output watts and time can also be displayed. Optional analog and digital inputs can also be displayed.
Three-Phase Power Analyzer Data Acquisition: Obtain data on each individual phase and/or the sum used in the chosen parameters (amps, volts, input watts and power factor).
Motor Shaft Direction Indicator: Indicates if the motor is turning clockwise or counterclockwise.
IEEE-488, USB and RS-232 Interface: Computer interface with National InstrumentsT PCI-GPIB. RS-232 available with DSP6000/6001/7000 only. USB on DSP7000 only.
Automatic Load Defaults Option: Downloads testing instrument parameters based on model number.
Dynamic PID Scaling: Provides consistent control loop results throughout motor speed range during ramp test (for DSP6001/7000 only).
PID Adjustment Routines: Helps adjust the system for ramp and step functions.
Graphing Capabilities: Display up to 5 test curves in a single, easy-to-read colored and labeled plots with several graph formatting options; manual or auto scaling.
Curve Fitting: A curve fitting routine can be applied to most motor test curves. Raw data and curve fit data can also be displayed simultaneously.
Customized Reports: Allows user to produce a one or two-page motor test summary, which can include the motor's serial number; maximum torque, speed, power and current values; operator name; time and date of test; motor direction; 32 data points; and an X-Y plot.
Save/Load Setup Function: Test procedure configurations may be stored and recalled using standard Windows® file structure.
