  • Process for the computer-assisted measurement and testing of electric circuits, especially electronic modules, and testing station for implementing the process
    Patent number: 5963889
    Abstract: A method for computer-aided measurement and testing of electrical circuits, and a test rig for carrying out such method, wherein the measurement and control tasks carried out by computer-aided measurement and test equipment during a test process, controlled by test software, for electrical circuits, are split into a data-relevant element, which contains test specification data and test instruction data, and a control-relevant test equipment driver section. The data-relevant element is formed in a text data field (TD) from which the control-relevant information can then be picked off. The invention can be used in all computer-controlled measurement and test rigs with measurement and control tasks as modular product-neutral test software.
