Series 61 – a Test Tool that’s growing

The development and establishment of electronic components in vehicles has rapidly increased throughout the last few years. Where there was hardly any bus communication based on automobile electronics a couple of years ago, today it cannot be imagined without. Examples are window lifters, seat adjusters etc. which previously had been operated mechanically, later electro-mechanically and today mechatronically. The total number of electronic components or control units (ECU’s) is growing constantly. One of the reasons for example is the car consumers increasing demand of comfort and safety. From the quality assurance’s point of view, this means a massive increase in new challenges for test and measurement systems.
