        <description>CAN-Bus Aborts for Shaker Testing

OVERVIEW

The CAN bus (Controller Area Network bus) protocol is a peer-to-peer communication standard for automotive devices without relying a complicated central computer. It is configured with two wires (CAN high and CAN low) which vary in voltage to communicate a bit series of 1’s and 0’s. CAN bus was initially designed in 1990, with the ISO standard released in 1993.
Using CAN bus, an electronic car component (ex: car battery, engine control unit, etc.) can…</description>

 Random excitation is often used to simulate real-world vibration. The purpose of the random  vibration control system is to generate a true random drive signal such that, when the signal is applied via an amplifier/shaker to the device under test, the resulting shaker output spectrum will matc…</description>
