Abstract (2. Language): 
One of the problems for the fuel cells development is still the reliability of their performances over time. The solution of this problem is the implementation of an efficient diagnostic method such as that the use of the polarization curve measurement. To run a diagnostic, it is necessary to use a specific hardware and software tools for PEM fuel cells. It is very interesting to make real time instrumentation. In this work, we presented the description and developing steps of an application for measuring the polarization curve for PEM fuel cell. The results are obtained using a Nexa® Ballard PEM fuel cell, an electronic load and an application developed by LabVIEW® software and the microcontroller STM32F4.
