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.
