Title: A test control apparatus
Inventor: LARKIN DAVID
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 1990-12-28
Granted: 1994-10-26
Abstract: A test control apparatus 1 is disclosed having a control unit 3 with a data controller 4 and a functionally separate processing controller 5. The data controller is connected to test instruments 2 and to a user interface 6 for creation of all data files including files for captured test data, test specifications, test instructions or sample identification codes. Such data files are created independently of the processing controller and of the format of instrument data file. The processing controller uses a program library 9 to assist in processing data retrieved in data files via the data controller to generate test reports at output interfaces 7. Because data and processing operations are carried out separately, modification of the apparatus for use with different types of test or test instruments may be easily carried out. Further, access to data is relatively quick because the data controller stores data in separate active and historical databases 15, 17. Data are stored in a relational manner which ensures that reports tying together information relating to a particular product may be easily carried out. <IMAGE>
