Testing Bluetooth Low Energy Pressure Sensors

This case study outlines the testing process for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) pressure sensors developed by TE Connectivity. It details the challenges faced in testing these sensors, particularly due to the complexity of the Bluetooth protocol and the variety of sensor variants offered by TE. The document presents the solution implemented using CANoe and the VH4110 hardware, which connects to the BLE interface of the sensors. The VH4110 facilitates direct measurement of sensor data without requiring extensive knowledge of the Bluetooth communication protocol. It allows for interactive and programmatic testing, with automatic documentation of test steps and results in both human and machine-readable formats. The case study highlights the advantages of using Vector's testing software and hardware, including significant time reduction, flexibility in testing, improved product quality, and user-friendly evaluation of results. Overall, the document serves as a comprehensive guide to the testing methodologies employed for TE's BLE pressure sensors.
