Heavy-duty trucks and self-propelled platforms are widely spread for the purpose of transportation of heavy and bulky loads. Power units of these vehicles consist of synchronous electric generators (alternators) driven by diesel engines. The generator supplies electricity to each motor-wheel of the vehicle and to all its systems. Alternators are also used in cars' and trucks' electric systems to supply their electric and electronic devices (e.g., headlights, safety systems, etc.). Substantial reserves of production and quality improvement of such alternators are hidden in their tests technique improvement. In this paper, the software is designed for mobile and stationary test stands of the alternators. The software was created using "LabVIEW" development system. It is designed to be used with "National Instruments®" hardware.
