Abstract
A system having a computer, test control logic, an electrostatic discharge unit and a high voltage probe unit is provided for performing multiple, random, asynchronous electrostatic discharge testing of machines. The test control logic includes multiple, asynchronous, random, firing logic for controlling the states of a plurality of output lines which send control signals from the computer to the electrostatic discharge unit and the high voltage probe unit. The test control logic allows a user a preference of testing modes through an interactive input graph. The user may specify either a run time experiment or a specific probability of test coverage test.
