ABSTRACT:
In a test system, test fixtures that hold modules are controlled to enable an operator to separate modules that pass a test from modules that fail. When a module under test is properly loaded in a test fixture, a test fixture controller instructs a tester to start a test procedure. For a semiautomatic test fixture, a test start command is automatically supplied to the tester when the test fixture is closed around the module under test. The test fixture controller automatically interprets the test results provided by the tester. The module that passes the test is automatically released from the test fixture. If the module fails, the test fixture controller keeps it locked in the test fixture. The module is released only when an operator presses a failure acknowledgement button on a control box.
