Claim 9:
10. A method for testing a device under test, the method comprising:
coupling at least one test fixture to the device under test;
measuring signals in the device under test with at least one test instrument coupled to the device under test via the at least one of the test fixtures;
coupling an adapter module via a general control interface with a test controller, and via a DUT-specific communication interface with the device under test to communicate with the device under test;
providing, from the test controller, generic control signals to the general control interface for controlling the device under test;
translating the generic control signals into DUT-specific control signals with the adapter module;
transmitting the DUT-specific control signals to the device under test; and
identifying the adapter module and determining which of the generic control signals of all generic control signals that the test controller may generate are compatible with the adapter module.
