From Fragmented Testing to Unified Precision
Electronics testing often involves a complex mix of disconnected tools, protocols and manual workarounds. This slows innovation and makes even routine tasks harder than they need to be. Accordion offers a smarter way forward.
It is a modular and scalable platform that brings together data acquisition, stimuli generation and protocol communication into one cohesive system. Whether you are validating designs or preparing for production, Accordion adapts to your workflow and simplifies the entire testing process.
By unifying the tools engineers rely on, Accordion helps teams move faster, reduce integration overhead and make better decisions. It is built for precision, designed for flexibility and trusted by organisations that see testing as a strategic advantage.
This is Accordion. Built for engineers. Trusted by decision-makers. Ready for transformation.
What could your testing environment look like with Accordion at its core? We would love to explore it with you and discuss how Accordion can support your engineering goals.
Talk to an expertArchitecture
The Accordion Framework is built on a layered architecture that connects software intelligence with hardware precision. At the top, the software layer provides intuitive control and seamless integration with engineering tools. The Agent acts as the interface to your device under test, managing data acquisition, stimuli generation and communication protocols. Agent Expand adds scalable power and measurement capabilities without redesign. Finally, the Product API links Accordion to external instruments, creating a unified and future-ready test ecosystem.
Software That Thinks Like an Engineer
The software layer of Accordion is where control meets clarity. Accordion Pilot provides an intuitive interface that lets engineers configure I/O, run test sequences and manage results with ease. For advanced workflows, Python and .NET APIs offer seamless integration into automation environments. Station Master ensures every test is logged and traceable, supporting compliance and analysis. And with built-in Excel export, data moves effortlessly from test bench to report. This is software designed not just to operate the system, but to empower the engineer behind it.
AgentTM: Precision in Every Pulse
The Agent is the physical interface between Accordion and your device under test. It manages data acquisition, stimuli generation and communication with precision, supporting protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART and JTAG. Its modular architecture allows for up to 384 input and output channels, making it suitable for both design verification and production environments. If your application requires something specialised, custom modules can be created to match your needs. Engineered for speed and accuracy, the Agent ensures that every signal is captured, every condition simulated and every test executed with confidence.
Agent ExpandTM: Built to Grow with You
As testing requirements evolve, Agent Expand ensures your setup keeps pace. It extends the capabilities of the Agent by adding external power supply units, digital multimeter relays and power relays, all without the need to redesign your system. This expansion layer supports more complex test scenarios, higher power demands and advanced measurement needs. Whether you’re scaling up for production or adding precision to validation, Agent Expand provides the flexibility to grow confidently.
Connected to Your Ecosystem, Ready for Tomorrow
Accordion is designed to connect effortlessly with the tools and systems you already rely on. The Product API enables direct integration with leading test and measurement instruments, including those from Keysight and other major providers. It allows you to automate workflows, synchronise equipment and streamline communication across your test environment. There is no need for custom drivers or manual bridging. With the Product API, Accordion becomes a central part of your ecosystem, enhancing collaboration, reducing setup time and ensuring your testing infrastructure is ready to grow with your needs.
