本論文旨在建立自動化效率量測平台，並使用美國國家儀器股份有限公司之LabVIEW圖控軟體，設計平台系統的程序控制程式，自動執行切換式電源供應器效率量測。此自動化量測平台的功能包含自動熱機、自動擷取量測數據、自動積分、計算量測精度、效率，並且自動產出報告。另外，能提供使用者可編輯之量測清單，可依據量測需求、多個條件依序量測。
一般實驗量測效率時皆無特定要求，但實際上切換式電源供應器對於效率量測有一定的規範可依循，如熱機時間、環境溫度等。本文利用此自動化切換式電源供應器量測平台實際將測試環境溫度、測試時間、測試順序進行量測並比較其差異。

The main purpose of this thesis is about the design of an automatic efficiency measurement platform for switching power supplies developed by using LabVIEW, the visualized system developing software from National Instruments (NI). The automatic measurement platform includes functions such as automatic warm-up, measurement-data acquisition, measurement accuracy calculation, energy integration, efficiency calculation, and self-reporting. In addition, users could edit survey-requirement list for different needs and multi-condition in the platform.
Usually, the efficiency measurement suffices to no specific requirements in labs. However, there indeed are some factors that might affect the efficiency measurement for switching power supplies, e.g. warm-up duration and ambient temperature. In this thesis, the measurement platform is conditioned to test the influence of ambient temperature, testing duration, and testing sequence. And finally, the results are compared to justify their discrepancies.
