Functional test tools are used in a lot of different businesses to do functional tests at the end of the production process. This is sometimes called a final “quality control test,” and it’s done to make sure that all of the product’s requirements are met. The way the custom functional test is done is based on an example of the setting where the manufacturer’s product is supposed to work. The electronic test industry works on making functional test fixtures and global test station solutions that can be used to find and fix any problems with functioning so that the desired results can be reached.

Custom Functional Test Designs

Because of the goods they make, many businesses need to use custom functional test fixtures. Some fields work with new technologies all the time, which can’t be tested or measured with “out of the box” methods. Because of this, engineers in the electronic test business need to work together to create a custom functional test that meets the needs of the maker and is good for evaluation. A functional test stand usually has a device that talks to a device under test (DUT). Depending on the business, the DUT is also called equipment under test (EUT) or unit under test (UUT).

A DUT is sometimes used alone, but most functional test setups also have a power source for the DUT and any loads that the DUT needs to work right. A custom functional test will use consumer-specific connectors instead of designed test points on the printed circuit board (PCB) to make sure the test is correct. Some businesses depend on being able to make custom solutions that work with their products. In the electronic test industry, for example, there aren’t many standard choices. Most of the time, custom functional test tools are very inexpensive. This saves the company time and money over trying to modify an existing universal test station to fit their needs.

Dependable Device Under Test

The company makes different kinds of goods, so there will be different places along the production line where operator should test them. Test software helps get all the data it needs and talks to any controlled devices outside the computer. This includes digital multimeters, communication ports, and I/O boards. The software is a key part of the custom functional test because it works with the DUT to test the functionality of the product.

The electronic test business is a big part of making new products. It does quality control and safety testing for a lot of different industries. Industrial tools and high-tech gadgets, as well as consumer electronics, computers, and home goods, depend on functional test pieces to make sure they work right. Input is sent to the DUT and the result is looked at to see how it works. The program looks at the data to figure out how the DUT did in the custom functional test.

Many Years of Functional Test Tools

At first, EMC Technologies only did functional tests for the military. But over the years, our client base has grown to include a mix of military, defense contractor, military contractor, and business production customers. We create and make useful test fixtures and interface equipment that can be used wirelessly or wiredly. This equipment is used to test PCBs and assemblies for a wide range of uses in many industries. We are proud of the ground-breaking work we have done for our customers in creating custom functional test solutions. At EMC Technologies, some of the projects we’ve been working on are computer systems, medical equipment, networking devices, phones, and satellite TV/IP.

EMC Technologies has been able to keep up with the latest changes in the electronic test business thanks to the wide range of skills and knowledge we have gained over the years. There are many specific skills we now have, such as temperature, high speed, tight tolerance, test racks, and RF test tools. We have antennas, tools, blocks, and everything else you need to try a mass interconnect in stock. We also sell a wide range of functional test tools and goods made for VXI and PXI uses, using platforms from Virginia Panel, Agilent, Teradyne, and other brands. We offer full electrical and industrial support to our clients for a turnkey solution that meets all of their test interface needs.
