ABSTRACT:
A computer peripheral tester includes a central processing unit and a memory for storing peripheral test data and control program instructions. A keypad input and display are connected to the central processing unit. A serial communication interface converts parallel data to and from the central processing units to and from serial data. A parallel communication interface interfaces the central processing unit to a computer peripheral for parallel data transfer. A connector is mounted on the computer peripheral tester for attaching the computer peripheral tester to the data communication cable of a computer peripheral. A serial data communication configuration circuit, responsive to the central processing unit, configures the connector to transmit and receive serial data with respect to the computer peripheral under test. A serial/parallel switch selectively connects the serial communication interface and the parallel communication interface to the connector means for serial and parallel data communication between the central processing unit and the computer peripheral under test.
