Remote control run mode

This test run mode is provided to support testing scenarios where using the GUI (user interface) on a PC or other type of device is impractical or undesired. A typical usage case is where the driver of a vehicle will also need to control test starts and stops with minimal effort and distractions. This is applicable to many vehicle tests, but is most common when running proving grounds tests on motorcycles, snowmobiles and other “single occupancy” vehicles.

See the technical note Long term unattended testing considerations for more information about start and stop of long term testing.

To use the Remote test control mode, the user must configure the SXR test to use the Remote control run mode. In Test configuration, select the Setup menu item in the Task pane. Under Test run mode options, select Remote Control from the drop down menu.

On the CX23-R

The user must also provide and connect a control switch to the CX23-R AUX port cable (1-KAB2108). A single pole-single throw switch is recommended, as shown in the wiring diagram below.

NOTE
On the CX23-R, if a switch is not connected to the AUX port, the system detects this as logic 0 and does not start a test as soon as remote control is enabled.
On the EXRCPU and the EXRLCPU, if a switch is not connected to Input 1 on the power connector port, the system detects this as logic 1 and starts a test as soon as remote control is enabled.
