Sumario:This work presents the most important aspects of the development of an FPGA-based optical simulator system that allows the generation of luminous signals in the visible spectrum range. In addition, the instrument allows the generation of time patterns. With these features, the system can be used to calibrate a Velocity of Detonation (VOD) meter of detonating cords used in the mining industry, based on the point-to-point measuring method. It comprises an FPGA device that enables the implementation of an easily scalable multichannel system and a microcontroller that manages the user’s interface. This instrument was developed in response to a request from a detonating cords manufacturing company for a device to calibrate a VOD meter developed by the Faculty of Engineering - UNCPA, in a previous phase of this project.
