Claim:
1. A large scale automated test system comprising: a relay board; a first connector on the relay board, the first connector being communicable with a first electrical component; a second connector on the relay board, the second connector being communicable with the first electrical component; a third connector on the relay board, the third connector being communicable with a test article; a fourth connector on the relay board, the fourth connector being communicable with the test article; a fifth connector on the relay board, the fifth connector being communicable with a second electrical component; a sixth connector on the relay board, the sixth connector being communicable with the second electrical component; and, a bank switching apparatus on the relay board, the bank switching apparatus being operable to switch to a first switched state or a second switched state, where with the first connector communicating with the first electrical component, with the second connector communicating with the first electrical component, with the third connector communicating with the test article, with the fourth connector communicating with the test article, with the fifth connector communicating with the second electrical component and with the sixth connector communicating with the second electrical component, switching the bank switching apparatus to the first switched state communicates the first electrical component with the test article and prevents communication of the second electrical component with the test article, and switching the bank switching apparatus to the second switched state communicates the second electrical component with the test article and prevents communication of the first electrical component with the test article.
