Page 16: Overview
Overview The GR228X Test Systems, hereafter referred to as the GR228X systems, are a family of PC-controlled combinational test systems. The systems are designed to perform rapid electrical testing of printed circuit boards with high diagnostic accuracy. The GR228X systems run on a Windows NT-based software platform and are configurable to meet the hardware and software requirements of the target application. -

UUT. Basic System Components The GR228X systems include a variety of specially designed interconnected modules and components that provide easy access at the front for UUT testing and at the rear for equipment servicing. Internal ventilation is provided by positive pressure air circulation from air intakes on each cabinet. -
Page 19: System Activities
GR228X Test System Activities esting Methods There are two testing methods available for the GR228X systems; in-circuit and functional. Both methods can produce tests that identify a high percentage of all possible defects. Depending on the assembly stage, either the in-circuit or the functional testing method is easier to implement and provides the most useful information. - Page 20 A dedicated functional test system is often used for functional testing. Alternatively, you can move many of the functional tests to the GR228X Test System which has many of the necessary hybrid test capabilities built-in. The ICA systems contain instruments for testing groups of analog components, groups of ICs using the system’s parallel Driver/Sensors, and groups of hybrid...
