Instrumentation: Automatic test systems: Seven basic elements make up the ideal ATS; neglect of any one is an invitation to disaster

Kilin To, Rodham E. Tulloss

Abstract

The authors consider the seven basic elements: data base of circuit descriptions; means of circuit simulation; method of test generation; a language with which to command a piece of automatic test equipment to carry out tests and a library of programs in this language; automatic test equipment; a diagnostic method; and some scheme for managing the mass of data. The application to design verification, testing during manufacture, and diagnosis by a repair organization is discussed.
