Control software necessary to control eight stepper motors while being temperature cycled. Software to determine failure via torque measurement and data log the results (torque, fail date, fail time). User interface to be contained in a Windows environment and be mouse driven. Software to control the following stepper motors parameters: direction, current, and start/stop. Motors to be sequenced on a continuous basis and tested on a timed basis.

The software was developed using C++. It was mouse driven and used pull-down windows and menus to allow the user to select automatic operation or manual operation. In the manual mode, the user can select and operate individual motors. Data was logged to a file as well as being accessible to the user via the screen of the PC.

The successful completion of this life testing project allowed the customer to gather necessary data on proper motor selection as well as gathering data on stepper motor drive circuits.
