Electronic equipment testing method, involves interpreting test control text at test interfaces, executing test, providing text of test result message to serial bus, and analyzing text of test result message at test terminal

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The method involves providing a text editor and a terminal emulator to a test terminal (1). An access unit, interpreters and a test execution unit are provided to hardware test interfaces (3-5). The interpreters interpret a text of a test control message and a test result, respectively. The interfaces are interrogated using a test control text. The control text is interpreted at the interfaces. The test is executed, and text of a test result message is provided to a serial bus (2). The text of test result message is analyzed at the terminal. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Method for testing an electronic equipment using a test terminal. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method is easily implemented on a maintenance location by only implementing a personal computer without specific software for the test terminal. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic representation of a test device implementing an electronic equipment testing method. '(Drawing includes non-English language text)' TX : Transmission wires 1 : Test terminal 2 : Serial bus 3-5 : Hard test interfaces 3'-5' : Printed circuit boards #CMT#INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS : #/CMT# The text of the test control message is transmitted on the bus based on RS 232 standard.
