Abstract
Universal test apparatus for automatically testing electric circuits. A host computer communicates with the apparatus through a first interface. A unit under test communicates with the apparatus through a second interface. The apparatus has a plurality of multifunctional storage registers. Responsive to commands from the host computer the individual registers are alternatively configured to receive drive signals through the first interface from the host computer, to receive response signals through the second interface from the unit under test, to receive signals transferred from another register, and to transfer signals to another register. Drive signals stored in a register transmitted to the unit under test and response signals stored in a function of the host computer is performed by one or more microprocessors which comprise part of the electric circuits being tested.
