ABSTRACT:
In this method, a unit (24) is tested by a test instrument (22) with the aid of a master (MC), an intermediate (30) and a slave (SL) computer. The latter connects to the test instrument (22) for sensing its measurements. The method includes the step of dispatching one of a plurality of instruction signals to the intermediate computer (30) from the master computer (MC). Another step is issuing to the slave computer (SL), when it is not halted, a signal to halt from the intermediate computer (30) after receipt by the intermediate computer (30) of one of the instruction signals. Another step is transmitting from the intermediate (30) to the slave (SL) computer, after the latter has halted, that one of a plurality of command signals corresponding to the currently dispatched one of the instruction signals. The method also includes the step of forwarding a go signal to the intermediate computer (30) from the master computer (MC) and issuing to the slave computer (SL) from the intermediate computer (30) a run signal signifying a request to run and sense measurements from the test instrument (22).
