Intelligent System for Conducting Experiments with DC/DC Converters

The paper presents an automated system with application in power electronics for $D C / D C$ converter efficiency measurements. The structure and the main functions of the virtual instrument are presented along with sample test measurements. Main features include the plotting in real time of the obtained results, ability to react in critical situations via the GUI using safety features buttons, faster and flexible measurements set-up and multi-platform capability, due to the fact that open-source software is used.
