Abstract
A test stand sensor apparatus includes a sensor for acquiring data from the item under test and/or the environment, a power supply unit for converting electromagnetic radiation into electrical energy, and a unit for the wire-free transmission of sensor data and of a code which is characteristic of the sensor.
Claims7
A test stand, comprising
- at least one test cell with at least one sensor apparatus for acquiring data from an item under test and/or the environment, a sensor apparatus comprising a sensor system, a power supply unit for converting electromagnetic radiation into electrical energy, and a unit for wire-free transmission of charge state messages, sensor data and code which is characteristic of the sensor apparatus,
- at least one evaluation and/or memory unit for the data, and
- devices for substantially continuously generating electromagnetic fields for supplying the at least one sensor apparatus , said devices including control circuits operating in dependence on the charge state messages of the at least one sensor apparatus for adjusting the electromagnetic fields.
