An Integrated Measurement Platform for Piezoelectric Transformer Based on Virtual Instruments

Abstract:

This paper presented an integrated measurement platform for piezoelectric transformer based on virtual instruments. Programmable signal generator was adopted to stimulate the piezoelectric transformer. Then an USB oscilloscope was used to acquire the response signal. We could get the results by analyzing the experimental data. The measurement accuracy and efficiency were greatly improved in the virtual instruments platform compared with the conventional measurement method. It was of great significance to the scientific research. Section I pointed out the problems in conventional piezoelectric transformer parameters measurement method and gave a solution of using virtual instruments technology to solve these problems. Section II described the hardware design of the measurement system. Section III described the software design of the virtual instruments measurement system. Conventional measurement methods and virtual instruments measurement method were compared in section IV.
