Abstract
Test node equipment is provided between successive component groups operating in cascade and each test node is connected to a data bus system through which test patterns can be provided by a test pattern generator and from which signals can be evaluated by a test pattern analyzer, the test pattern generator and the test pattern analyzer being under control of a test computer. Each test node has a state in which the output of the preceding component group passes through it to the next component group with only a possibility of monitoring possible deficiencies by the test computer and other states in which the cascade operation of component groups can be interrupted at a test node for inserting a test pattern to a following component group or receiving a processed test pattern from a preceding component group. A test node may also contain driver circuits for transfer of rapid data to a memory of the test computer for subsequent processing at a lower speed and may also contain equipment to assist in the use of a so-called signature analysis system.
