The system then monitors and sends this data out via e-mail. This allows the engineer to monitor UUT data from any place in the world via email.
Test points can be either analog or digital signals.
The digital inputs can be from digital output type circuits. The system can be used to monitor circuitry and components of a newly designed machine at a field test site and report that data back instantly via e-mail. Unlike the lab environment, the test site is the true environment the machine will end up in. These types of conditions are the true test for the design. Unfortunately, these test sites are usually located far away from the design lab and retrieving engineering data from these machines can be difficult.
