• Abstract:
  This report provides important information for users of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) signal waveform generator (SWG) and for those organizations that would perform testing to certify the accuracy of SWG signals. The performance specifications for the SWG are based on the results of testing of all of the ten SWGs fabricated for NHTSA. The SWG certification requirements specify the measurements, measurement equipment, measurement procedures, and the measured SWG performance required to certify that a SWG is acceptable for use in testing a crash or sled test data acquisition system.
