Automatic Testing of Avionic Units: An account of the broad principles governing automatic testing systems given in a paper first presented at the recent aviation electronics symposium sponsored by Mintech and the Electronic Engineering Association

THE great expansion in the use of complex electronic equipment over the past few years has imposed an ever increasing problem of testing and maintaining such equipments on both the source manufacturer and the user. Automatic testing can to a large degree solve this problem by increasing the speed and reliability of the testing method and by reducing the manpower involved.
