Automated test design
Abstract
A methodology for designing tests to diagnose and isolate failures in analog circuits has been developed and implemented as a computer program. The input to the program consists of a circuit description and a list of possible failures as changes to the nominal unit under test. Only the circuit description is the required input. All other inputs are optional which can be specified when the user wishes to have more control of the test design. The system automatically generates a number of test strategies based on the resistance, voltage, and current measurements. Other user defined test strategies utilizing the steady-state, frequency and time domain responses of the circuit can be incorporated into the test design as well.
