Abstract:
1. Test apparatus for testing circuit units to be tested by means of a test system, having: a) a connection device; b) tester channels for connecting the test system to the connection device and for transmitting test data; and c) receptacle units, having a number of circuit unit data channels dependent on the circuit units to be tested, for the fitting of the circuit units to be tested and for the electrical connection of the circuit units to be tested to the connection device, wherein the connection device further has: d) a changeover device for changing over the tester channels to the receptacle units, it being possible to divide a number of tester channels between the number of circuit unit data channels in a predeterminable manner depending on a test mode signal fed via the tester channel, wherein the changeover device further has connecting units for dividing the number of tester channels into subgroups of predeterminable numbers of subgroup data channels.
