Underwater transducer array testing system based on virtual instrument

This paper presents an intelligent testing system for underwater transducer array by using virtual instrument technology. The testing system is used to test the identities between transducer and transducer of the underwater transducer array. The hardware and software architecture of the testing system are introduced. The system software is developed on the LabVIEW. LabVIEW, a graphical programming language, is used to create the test software. The proposed system has been used in the certain type sonar system. The test results show that data processing capacity of test instrument are improved upon greatly, which can satisfy more needs of measurement.
