An economical approach for testing Vehicle Instrument Panel is proposed in this paper due to high expenditure of purchasing the available Commercial Off-The-Shelf Hardware-In-The-Loop. Vehicle Instrument Panel is designated as the Device-Under-Test in this paper. The Hardware-In-The-Loop, designated as the test equipment, will simulate the assigned input signals controllable via designed Graphical User Interface. The resulting display is shown on the Graphical User Interface and the Device-Under-Test. The speedometer gauge measurement showed the highest disparity of 4 km/h which is within the tolerance of the pre-determined specification of the Device-Under-Test.
