MCD Toolmonitors – Flexible hardware integration
From controlling oscilloscopes, multimeters and electronic loads to power supplies, robot systems and PLC components to analyzing audio and video signals, powerful extensions are available for individual test requirements.
Specialized tool monitors such as PicoScope®, AudioAnalyzer, Robotics, PowerSupply, SerialLine, SQL or ReportManager support the efficient implementation of testing processes and the flexible expansion of existing test systems.
A flexible end-of-line test bench
For this application, MCD developed a flexible end-of-line test bench that tests every variant in less than 30 seconds. The system combines optical, mechanical and electrical test methods in one integrated testing concept.

Flexible & modular
The MCD tool monitors take on specialized tasks within the TestSuite and create a standardized connection between software, hardware and external systems. Depending on the test task, suitable functions can be specifically integrated into existing test systems.
Different measuring and hardware components can be centrally controlled, monitored and integrated into test processes using specialized tool monitors.
- Oscilloscopes
- Multimeter
- Electronic loads
- Power supplies
Tool monitors support the integration of communication interfaces, external systems and process components within the test environment.
- SerialLine
- SQL
- PLC components
- External systems
For specialized analysis and automation tasks, additional tool monitors are available that can be integrated directly into the MCD TestSuite.
- AudioAnalyzer
- Audio and video signal analysis
- Robotics
- Robot systems
Other tool monitors support the structured processing, evaluation and provision of test and measurement data within the test environment.
- ReportManager
- Measurement data acquisition
- Monitoring and evaluation
- Reusable software functions
A look inside the MCD test solution
Variant-specific test logic
The test bench checks all functions present in the exterior mirror:
Mirror Settings
Camera systems inspect lighting functions and mirror positions, while actuators, folding mechanisms and electrical functions are tested automatically.
Adjustment and folding functions
Mirror heating
Electrochromic dimming glass
Lighting Functions
Turn signal
Lane change assist
Surround lighting
Camera Function
Different equipment features are detected automatically and tested accordingly.

Country-specific variants
What’s missing matters, too.
Negative testing ensures that equipment features which are not installed cannot be activated. It also verifies that missing features remain unavailable.
As part of the MCD TestSuite, the tool monitors work together with MCD TestManager, MCD TestMate and MCD Comet. This allows existing functions to be reused, test applications to be developed more quickly and existing systems to be flexibly adapted to new requirements.
