Claim:
1. A system comprising: at least one processor; a first section including a testing apparatus adapted to hold and initiate an electrically initiated gas generator initiator; a second section coupled to said testing apparatus and operable to generate and selectively control an electrical firing signal to said initiator based on a plurality of firing signal input parameters, wherein said plurality of firing signal input parameters comprise a voltage of the electrical firing signal and at least one of a pulse duration of the electrical firing signal and a number of pulses of the electrical firing signal; a third section comprising an input/output section including a user interface, said user interface including a display adapted to display a graphical user interface; a fourth section comprising a test fixture and an electrical characteristic measurement section operable to measure a plurality of parameters including voltage and current associated with said electrical firing signal, wherein said test fixture comprises a housing adapted to couple to said testing apparatus, wherein said fourth section further includes at least one of a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor coupled to said test fixture, wherein said test fixture includes at least one internal port for receiving said at least one of the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor, said electrically initiated gas generator initiator being positioned in the housing of the test fixture; and a machine instruction storage section comprising a plurality of machine readable instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to:
