TEST SYSTEM AND METHODOLOGY

摘要

A test system for testing an electronic device is deployable in two basic configurations. In one of the configurations, a load board (62) that receives a unit (60) of the device is directly attached to a test head (16). In the other configuration, the same load board or one having largely the same pattern of test-head signal transmission positions is coupled through an interface apparatus (66) to a test head. A probe system (64) contacts that load board or/and the interface apparatus. The interface apparatus is normally configured to largely prevent test-head vibrations from being transferred to the probe system. Additionally, or alternatively, the load board is vacuum attached to the interface apparatus.
