In order to solve the problems existing in the engineering application of a foreign cable tester in EMU cable test, such as the tedious writing of test program and the absence of report forms of test results, an automatic conversion software is designed. The software uses virtual mapping technology and multi-tasking distribution mechanism to realize rapid test program generation and test report management. Through the real vehicle test with the EMU, the test results show that the conversion software can greatly save the process editing time and reduce the error rate of the editing test process. At the same time, the test result report generated by the conversion software has a clear format, which can guide the tester to check the wrong connection cable, and greatly improve the efficiency of field operation error detection.
