+Test Equipment Notes
|
|
|
+===
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Buses are a harsh environment both physically and electrically.
|
|
|
+In order to make sure electronic components are ruggedized against
|
|
|
+the environment they'll be put in, this document collects different
|
|
|
+resources on test equipment and notes on testing.

+RF Spectrum Analyzer
|
|
|
+---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+[HackRF](https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf) along with software that does [spectrum analysis](https://github.com/pavsa/hackrf-spectrum-analyzer)
|
|
|
+looks to be a good reasonably priced and open source hardware solution.

|
+Audio Analyzer
|
|
|
+---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+[Spek](https://github.com/alexkay/spek) looks to be a nice FOSS front end for audio spectrum analysis.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+We probably only want decibel measurements to determine what loudness the DIU and other speaker elements should be.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+I have used a cheap [BAFX3370](https://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products-Pressure-30-130dBA-Warranty/dp/B00ECCZWWI) decibel
|
|
|
+meter to get some rough measurements.
|
|
|
+Ideally there would be a microphone or other decibel monitoring device on the bus to get a better reading.

+Test Fixture
|
|
|
+---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To simulate the vibration of the bus, a suitable [test fixture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_fixture) should be developed.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+At a minimum, the sway and resonance of the fixture should be variable to test how well the assembly is against vibration that
|
|
|
+can occur on the bus.
