Design of a Modular and Scalable Measurement System for Battery and Electronics Testing

The increasing need for precise testing in battery and electronic component development has driven the demand for modular and scalable laboratory systems. This paper presents the design and initial implementation of a LabVIEW-based measurement system tailored for ISO/IEC 17025-compliant testing environments. The system’s software architecture is modular and built around a Hardware Abstraction Layer, enabling the integration of various remotely controlled instruments, such as programmable power supplies, electronic loads, and climate chambers. LabVIEW’s object-oriented programming and multi-threaded execution environment allows synchronized control and real-time data acquisition. Test procedures are defined using a JSON-based sequence structure, supporting repeatable testing. A graphical editor provides an intuitive interface for configuring test steps, ensuring ease of use. The system is designed to support future expansion, including high-speed measurement modules and parallel test execution. This solution lays the foundation for a reliable and extensible automated testing platform that aligns with modern industrial and regulatory standards.
