Claim 0:
1. An electronic tester comprising:
at least one test fixture that couples to a device under test;
at least one test instrument coupled to at least one of the test fixtures that measures signals in the device under test via the at least one of the test fixtures;
a test controller that controls the device under test while the test is performed; and
an adapter module comprising a general control interface that is coupled to the test controller, and a DUT-specific communication interface that couples to the device under test to communicate with the device under test;
wherein the test controller controls the device under test with generic control signals sent to the general control interface;
wherein the adapter module translates the generic control signals into DUT-specific control signals and transmits the DUT-specific control signals to the device under test; and
wherein the test controller comprises an adapter identifier that identifies the adapter module and determines which of the generic control signals of all generic control signals that the test controller may generate are compatible with the adapter module.
