摘要： A system for testing the electrical components of vehicles and vehicle electrical system prototypes, referred to as "wiring bucks", includes a hand held tester to which a translator unit can be detachably engaged and with which the tester is in RF communication. The translator unit can be detached from the tester and plugged into a test receptacle under a vehicle's/wiring buck's dashboard to communicate with the vehicle/wiring buck by translating computer formatted data from the tester to vehicle bus-formatted data, and vice-versa. Then, the vehicle's/wiring buck's VIN or identification is scanned into the tester or manually input into the tester, and the tester transmits the VIN via an RF link in the assembly plant to a computer in the plant. Based on the VIN, the computer determines the electric equipment that the vehicle/wiring buck has, and the computer transmits this information back to the tester. The tester then determines which tests to execute, and the tester causes the translator unit to undertake these tests. The translator transmits the test results back to the tester which in turn transmits the results to the computer. A portable current module can be provided that monitors the current drawn from the vehicle's/wiring buck's battery during the testing and for communicating this data to the tester via RF link.

摘要翻译： 用于测试车辆和车辆电气系统原型的电气部件的系统（称为“接线电路”）包括手持式测试器，转换器单元可以与该手持式测试仪可拆卸地接合，并且测试仪与RF通信。 翻译单元可以与测试仪分离，并插入到车辆/配线架的仪表盘下的测试插座中，通过将来自测试仪的计算机格式的数据转换为车辆总线格式的数据，反之亦然，与车辆/配线架降低通信。 然后，将车辆/接线电路的VIN或识别信号扫描到测试仪中或手动输入到测试仪中，并且测试仪通过组装厂中的RF链路将VIN传输到设备中的计算机。 基于VIN，计算机确定车辆/配线降压器的电气设备，计算机将该信息发送回测试仪。 然后，测试仪确定要执行的测试，测试仪使翻译单元进行这些测试。 翻译器将测试结果发送回测试者，测试者又将结果传输到计算机。 可以提供便携式电流模块，用于监测在测试过程中从车辆/配线电池电池中抽出的电流，并通过RF链路将该数据传送给测试仪。
