Integrating TestScale into a PCBA Functional Test Station Course Overview
The Integrating TestScale into a PCBA Functional Test Station covers the fundamental concepts of translating a test plan into a system configuration that uses TestScale hardware, setting up TestScale hardware in a rack or in-fixture deployment, and connecting to a DUT before using the relevant driver API to perform the measurements required for their functional tests.
