ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method are presented for supplying electrostatic discharges to a device under test. A discharge probe is employed for applying the discharges to the device. The probe is moved to preselected position points relative to the device during the test. The probe is displaced from one preselected position point to the next in response to position control signals supplied by a controller. The controller includes a memory for storing address data respecting the preselected position points.
