Traditional automotive display testing requires separate equipment for every task: a video signal source, signal conversion boards (e.g., DisplayPort to GMSL), a power supply, a controller (e.g., CAN FD), and an external meter for current and voltage measurement. The resulting complexity in wiring and control procedures severely impacts both testing efficiency and reliability. As the display, audio, and communication systems in AI-driven smart cockpits become increasingly sophisticated and complex, these pain points have grown more pronounced, and the market urgently demands an efficient, stable, all-in-one testing solution. In response, Chroma has officially launched the 2800 Automotive Smart Cockpit Test System, a seamlessly unified hardware, software, and firmware platform. It supports flexible software integration with both standalone Chroma instruments and third-party equipment, and features real-time test monitoring with comprehensive production traceability, fully addressing the automotive display testing challenges faced by vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers alike.

Chroma 2800 Automotive Smart Cockpit Test System: Streamlined Automated Testing with Flexible Configuration

The Chroma 2800 is a highly scalable hardware and software test system designed to meet diverse automotive display integration testing requirements.

• Comprehensive Test Coverage: The system fully supports video signal, power, optical, audio, and Wi-Fi testing—including 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz high-frequency band inspection, as well as sound pressure level (SPL) and frequency testing for car buzzers.
• Intuitive HMI Design: Test items can be flexibly configured to meet specific requirements. A single click launches the complete automated test sequence, and data is automatically compiled into graphical test results and reports.
• Precise Measurement Capability: Paired with the 27016 Integration Tester and A673905 Power Module, the system supports CAN FD (Controller Area Network Flexible Data-Rate) communication command configuration and is equipped with high-precision μA-level standby current measurement, enabling users to readily identify latent and potentially critical issues.

Chroma A270164 GMSL Signal Module: A Highly Reliable Next-Generation Automotive Test Solution

To meet the stringent requirements for low latency and real-time performance in ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), the Chroma 27016 Integration Tester paired with the A270164 GMSL Signal Module delivers comprehensive communications support for high-speed transmission and multi-protocol compatibility:

• Supports GMSL™ III transmission rate modes (single port: 3 / 6 / 12 Gbps)
• Compliant with LIN (Local Interconnect Network) and CAN FD protocols
• Equipped with PAM4 (Pulse Amplitude Modulation 4-Level), DSC (Display Stream Compression), FEC (Forward Error Correction), and Line Fault detection functions.

The Chroma 2800 one-stop integrated test system enables simultaneous verification of communication protocol conformance and power stability. In response to the emerging "one vehicle, multiple displays" trend, the 27016 Integration Tester can simultaneously accommodate the A270163 FPD-Link Signal Module, A270164 GMSL Signal Module, and A673905 Power Module—not only reducing R&D and production costs, but also ensuring products comply with the latest automotive standards.
