Claim 7:
8. A test system comprising:
a load board configured to couple with a device under test;
a tester configured to direct testing of the device under test, wherein the tester is communicatively coupled to the load board; wherein the tester selectively performs primary functional testing on the device under test, and the device under test remains communicatively coupled to the load board during and between performance of supplemental operations and the primary functional testing on the device under test supplemental equipment; and
a test system configuration adapter configured to communicatively couple with a device under test, wherein the test system configuration adapter comprises:
a tester side socket coupled with a test equipment socket via the load board of the tester side socket;
a break out pin configured to couple with supplemental equipment,

wherein the break out pin is separate from the load board and wherein coupling of the break out pin to the supplemental equipment is separate from the load board coupling to the test equipment socket; and
a device under test side slot configured to couple with the tester side socket, the break out pin, and the device under test;

wherein the test system configuration adapter is configured to enable communication between the device under test and the test equipment coupled to the test equipment socket and the supplemental equipment coupled to the breakout pin, wherein the supplemental equipment is coupled to the device under test separate from the load board, wherein the device under test remains coupled to the device under test side slot during the communication.
