ABSTRACT:
Multiple testing elements (26) are coupled to a bus (25) operated under the control of a graphically programmed computer (12). The computer (12) interrogates the bus (25) to identify the testing elements (26) coupled thereto. Icons (44) representing the testing elements (26) are displayed in an "Equipment Shelf" window (40). The user drags icons (44') from this window (40) onto a "Test Bench" window (42) and draws lines between I/O ports (4531 . . . 4431) on the icons (453 . . . 443) to graphically create a test circuit (54). The computer (12) generates bus commands to activate switches (28) to couple the testing elements (26) in the same manner as the graphical test circuit (54). Graphically set test ranges and parameters (472-494) are automatically sent to the testing elements (26) and test results (470) presented on the same computer display (16). The system (10) may be dynamically reconfigured for different tests without hand rewiring or loading of other test programs.
