LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a low-cost single-wire serial networking standard for connecting intelligent devices and is most popular in the automotive industry, where it enables communication between vehicle components

As a part of product validation, it’s important to validate the product’s conformance against the protocol specification to ensure the interoperability of the product. As the complexity of the protocol and product increases, validation time of the protocol interfaces also increases which in turn reduces the RTM. Performing the protocol conformance testing in traditional way needs lot of time and effort.

Soliton’s LIN Protocol Validation Tool is an off the shelf validation tool using NI’s PXI Platform, which helps to validate the devices’ compliance with timing and electrical specifications of the LIN protocol. The tool can also validate the devices tolerance to and recovery from a variety of LIN faults & exceptions and provides a comprehensive set of reports. Users have claimed that, using this automated solution for LIN Protocol Validation has brought down the test time/ validation time from few days to few hours.
