Fully automated testing system

RTStand
LV124 / LV148

First and only fully automated LV124 / LV148 platform worldwide

RTStand replaces manual, ECU-specific test setups with a single, reusable, fully automated system that covers every LV124 and LV148 test — running unattended, day and night, with 100% reproducible results.

Manual LV124 testing doesn’t scale.

As ECUs grow from 8 pins to 96 and beyond, and norms evolve faster than your team can keep up, manual test setups become the bottleneck.

Manual and half-automated setups

What most labs deal with today

  • Covers only basic supply line pulses — roughly 1/3 of the LV124 norm
  • No monitoring of key inputs, outputs, or communication lines
  • ECU-specific setups — rebuilt from scratch for every DUT
  • Manual supervision required at all times
  • No support for climatic chambers or external devices
  • No reproducibility — results vary between runs and operators
  • No long-term maintenance or norm updates
RTStand LV124 / LV148

What structured, automated testing looks like

  • Full LV124 / LV148 norm coverage — all test types, all disturbance classes
  • 100kHz monitoring per pin — all inputs, outputs, and communication lines
  • Generic design — one system reused across all your ECUs
  • Fully unattended — runs nights, weekends, no supervision
  • Seamless integration with climatic chambers (Weiss, Espec, CTS, Lauda)
  • 100% reproducible results — no room for operator variation
  • Continuous norm updates and lifecycle maintenance

Five layouts — one investment logic.

Choose the layout that matches your ECU’s pin count today. The generic system design means you can reuse it across every DUT, and expand with add-ons as your needs grow.

The modular design means you can expand your RTStand system as your testing needs grow — without replacing the core platform.

Additional voltage channels
Extra measurement channels for external sensors or physical bus line measurements e.g. CAN.
Additional current channels
Up to 12 extra current measurement channels for complex ECUs.
>2kW amplifier
Alternative amplifier for higher peak current support — essential for high-power ECUs and 48V systems.
Additional bus & Ethernet pins
Expand bus connectivity with additional CAN, LIN, and Automotive Ethernet / GMSL pins.

Every major automotive norm. Built in.

RTStand includes an extensive library covering LV124, LV148, and all major OEM derivatives. New norms are continuously integrated through software updates — your system stays compliant as standards evolve.

Supported norm families include: Audi, BMW, Daimler/Mercedes, ChangAn, Ford/GM, Hyundai/KIA, ISO, JLR, Lucid, MAN, McLaren, Nissan/Renault, Porsche, Scania, Tesla, Toyota, VDA, Volvo, VW — and more added continuously.

We have been using the RTStand LV124 / LV148 system from WKS Informatik for several years and are very satisfied with its high reliability and the fast, straightforward support. Regular maintenance and calibrations ensure that the system is always ready for use, and the personalized service significantly contributes to our satisfaction

SMR Automotive

The RTStand LV124 / LV148 system from WKS Informatik has not only increased our testing efficiency but also improved the workflow in our laboratory. Collaborating with WKS Informatik allowed us to implement custom adjustments, and we consistently benefit from prompt technical support. This efficiency and support have enabled us to effectively overcome the challenges of our dynamic development processes

Bühler Motor

The concept for automated testing of the LV124 prompted us to purchase a test system. The tests can now actually be performed and analyzed automatically. This saves time and resources. The support is also impeccable, and downtimes are minimized through a fast response time.

Leading automotive lighting supplier

We have reduced the overall testing time to a half compared to the previous manual testing and currently save 150.000 EUR for the LV124 testing of every several new software releases of our product

French automotive supplier

“One crucial advantage of your test system, besides timing and other benefits, is reproducibility! With a fully automated test run, there is no room for slight variations in the test runs anymore.”

Top 5 automotive supplier worldwide

This innovative modular concept, which gives us the opportunity to monitor a high number of pins in parallel, with a high resolution of up to 10us, as required in the LV124, allows us to make a deeper analysis of our products and especially find sporadic errors earlier in the development phase.
