  • Computer controlled squib simulation system
    Patent number: 10488170
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a squib simulation system includes a processor, sensors, and a firing point. The firing point receives electrical pulse information from a computer. The processor calculates electrical pulse information, including time information and current information. The processor determines a received current and determines whether the current exceeds a predetermined threshold necessary to ignite a squib. Upon a determination that the current exceeds the threshold, the processor determines a firing time that a squib would have fired given the current. The processor records and transfers the information to a user.
