Abstract :
Identifying sources of error in an automated test system is rarely trivial. When Modular Instruments are a part of the solution, additional complexity can arise due to software dependencies, and error correction techniques implemented in the Modular Instrument. This paper addresses this subject by explaining possible sources of error induced by Modular Instruments, and strategies for managing them in an automated test system.
