Abstract

Equipment for testing electrical circuits includes a programmable controller based upon a microcomputer (1) and selected interface modules (20-29 Fig. 1B) which can be plugged into the controller in any of a number of interconnection locations and in any combination of module types with the controller being adapted to interrogate the modules as to their function and location, and to organize its routines accordingly. A bus structure includes a data bus, a module identification bus, a synchronisation bus and analogue stimulus and measurement buses, and allows resource sharing within the equipment. <IMAGE>
