Abstract
In one embodiment, an electronic device is tested using automated test equipment (ATE) by 1) storing different vectors of scan load data in memory of the ATE; 2) storing a scan unload subroutine in the memory of the ATE; 3) stimulating the electronic device by retrieving the different vectors of scan load data and applying them to the electronic device; and 4) capturing responses to the different vectors by repeatedly calling the scan unload subroutine, and in response thereto, storing different vectors of scan unload data in the memory.
