Abstract
An apparatus for electrically coupling an electrical interface of a unit under test with a debugging component includes a bracket assembly having a socket configured to electrically couple with the electrical interface, a baseplate assembly configured to secure the unit under test on a plate, a crane assembly coupled to the bracket assembly, and a cable assembly. The crane assembly is configured to enable movement of the socket relative to the electrical interface in each of a horizontal direction, a vertical direction, and an angular direction; and secure the socket in place relative to the electrical interface while applying a force by the socket against the electrical interface. The cable assembly is associated in part with the bracket assembly and is configured to electrically couple with the socket at a first end and with the debugging component at a second end.
