Abstract
Printed circuit board assemblies must be tested before being sold to consumers. Yet, the assemblies have various shapes and input/output configurations. Thus, a need exists for a general apparatus and method for testing a variety of assemblies. The present tester uses a test enclosure which contains the necessary test electronics. The front of the enclosure includes a personality board which is designed to interface with the device under test.
