Abstract
An automated dynamic threshold testing system using an oscilloscope and personal computer with an automated testing algorithm for dynamic threshold condition determination within a digital logic device. The system provides a cost-effective alternative to conventional human detection of the threshold condition. The automated testing utilizes digitization of waveform data from the oscilloscope and provides fast storage, retrieval, and analysis of complex and numerous threshold conditions. Reproduction of the testings is easily performed with advantageous applications in debugging and diagnostic procedures.
