The results of development of the design of automated equipment for determining the parameters of generator thermoelectric modules are presented. The equipment was created on the basis of the absolute method, which allows measuring the parameters of the modules in real conditions of their operation, instrumentally minimizing the main sources of measurement errors, as well as determining the thermoelectric properties of the materials in the composition of these modules. The measurement control unit is built on the basis of a multi-channel analog-to-digital converter. Processing and display of measurement results are carried out using a computer, the results are displayed in the form of graphs and tables.
