Abstract:
1. An apparatus including a system for testing a plurality of packet data transmitters, comprising: a plurality of device-under-test (DUT) controllers each of which is programmed to provide, responsive to a plurality of control data, a respective one of multiple pluralities of transmit data to a respective one of a plurality of DUTs and further programmed to analyze a respective one of multiple pluralities of test data related to said respective one of multiple pluralities of transmit data, wherein said plurality of DUTs, responsive to said multiple pluralities of transmit data, provides a plurality of packet data signals each of which contains at least a portion of a respective one of said multiple pluralities of transmit data; a data signal capturing system responsive to a reception of said plurality of packet data signals by capturing at least a portion of each one of said plurality of packet data signals to provide a plurality of captured data packets; and a master controller coupled to said data signal capturing system and said plurality of DUT controllers, and programmed to provide said plurality of control data and to process said plurality of captured data packets to provide said multiple pluralities of test data; wherein each one of said plurality of DUT controllers determines an operational status of said respective one of said plurality of DUTs based upon said analysis of said respective one of said multiple pluralities of test data in view of said respective one of said multiple pluralities of transmit data.
