THE ONLY EXPERT GUIDE TO DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING CUSTOM TEST SYSTEMS

More and more engineers now face the challenges of electronic testing(and those challenges are becoming more complex each year. In Test System Design: A Systematic Approach, three expert testing professionals offers start-to-finish best practices for designing, developing, and implementing custom test systems. Ideal for both engineers who are creating test systems and those contracting the responsibility to third parties, this book covers the entire system lifecycle, from planning to upgrades, and beyond.

Designing, developing, and implementing more effective test systems(from start to finish
Protecting against obsolescence through planned upgrades and open standards
Simplifying development, minimizing risk, and maximizing accuracy and reliability
Building systems that fit the skills of your operators
Expert implementation: interfaces, cabling, switch panels, electrical safety, racking, temperature control, and more

Discover proven techniques for evaluating your testing requirements, eliminating redundant tests, and determining exactly which equipment you really need. Compare your options for sourcing test equipment, and learn how to maximize the value of every supplier relationship. Learn better solutions for documenting your test systems, training your operators, streamlining your maintenance programs, and more. No matter what your testing challenges are, Test System Design is your comprehensive resource for achieving them faster and more cost effectively.

Synopsis:

More and more engineers now face the challenges of electronic testing -- and those challenges are becoming more complex each year. Test System Design: A Systematic Approach offers start-to-finish best practices for designing, developing, and implementing custom test systems. Ideal for both engineers who are creating test systems and those contracting the responsibility to third parties, this book covers the entire system lifecycle, from planning to upgrades, and beyond. Discover how to design and build more effective test systems up front -- and how to increase the useful lifespan of your systems through planned upgrades and the use of open standards. Learn proven best practices for simplifying development, minimizing risk, maximizing accuracy and reliability, and building systems that fit the skills of your operators. Evaluate your testing requirements, eliminate redundant tests, and determine which equipment you really need; decide how to source your test equipment; and walk through every key implementation issue, from interfaces to cabling, switch panels to electrical safety, racks to temperature control.

The book also includes chapters on documentation, operator training, upgrades, and much more.
