Abstract

This paper describes a Test Program Set (TPS) Interface Device development process which will improve signal performance, lower cost, and enhance maintainability. Hardware is designed as modular components and can be tested prior to incorporation into an interface device. Automated software tools ensure accurate Unit Under Test (UUT) data entry and optimize the use of modular hardware. Once established, this development process produces quick turnaround pre-tested interface devices with high electrical and mechanical integrity
