Integrating TestScale into a PCBA Functional Test Station
At the end of this course, you should be able to translate a test plan into a system configuration that uses TestScale hardware, set up their TestScale hardware in a rack or in-fixture deployment, and connect to their DUT before using the relevant driver API to perform the measurements required for your functional tests.
Duration
- 8 lessons | 2 hours
Audience
Test Engineers and System Integrators responsible for PCBA functional test stations.
Course Objectives
- Describe the TestScale hardware and how it can help you meet your test needs
- Apply the process of converting a test plan to a TestScale configuration to your own test plan
- Set up, mount, and connect the TestScale system to a DUT
- Develop code for your desired measurement
- Calibrate and maintain your TestScale system
