Working through test-program sets and drivers, test executives let engineers organize tests into logical sequences. They provide user interfaces for test technicians and store test results for analysis. Manufacturers of electronic and electromechanical devices rely on test instruments to generate stimuli and measure responses. While manually performing tests on the engineering bench might work for […]

Functional tester covers bench, production, and service applications
The midUTS from Bloomy contains a multimeter, data-acquisition, switching, and power supplies for testing boards and systems. Automating tests — whether for bench testing new designs, in production, or for service — increases productivity but comes at a price. If you’re going to build an automated test system all yourself, expect to specify the instrumentation, […]
Test gear facilitates fast, accurate interfaces for new USB 80 Gpbs equipment
A new set of USB 80Gbps solutions are said to maximize the performance of USB designs and ensure compliance with the specifications implemented by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) standard to deliver accuracy and high signal fidelity. A wide range of products, including smartphones, laptops, desktop computers, tablets, and digital cameras rely on next-generation high-speed […]
Software speeds THD+N audio measurements
Version 8.0 of the APx500 Measurement Software features software performance optimizations that reduce unnecessary computation and speed up sequence execution. This results in significant test time savings and much faster reporting of important measurements such as THD+N. “Version 8.0, along with our regular cadence of enhancements to APx500 software, allows users to take advantage of […]
Margin tester checks out PCIe Gen 3, Gen 4 designs
The new TMT4 Margin Tester breaks conventions of PCIe testing, delivering fast test times. Plug-and-play set up and easy-to-use interface combine to deliver in minutes results that, until now, required hours or even days of set up and testing, often stretching costs to seven figures. “TMT4 Margin Tester is the latest example of how Tektronix […]
Analyzer performs USB4 compliance tests
A USB4 compliance test option for the Voyager M4x analyzer and exerciser system can be used in conjunction with the USB Implementers Forum’s (USB-IF’s) USB4 Command Verifier (USB4-CV) software to generate traffic conditions and verify responses for the official USB4 logical, protocol, and tunneling layer compliance test specifications. USB4 combines the simplicity of the USB […]
