Even well-tested equipment can experience new conditions in the field that result in failure. This allows the engineer to monitor UUT data from any place in the world via e-mail.
Test points can be either analog or digital signals.
The digital inputs can be from digital output type circuits. Example input devices that output analog voltages are pressure transducers, temperature sensors, photo sensors, power supplies, and various outputs from analog circuitry. Example input devices that output digital signal levels are microprocessor outputs, intelligent sensors, PLC outputs, and various outputs from digital circuitry. A simple dimmer switch may be fine for controlling a single light, but when it comes to dimming multiple lights or interfacing to an existing control system, the DMX512 Dimmer really shines. The dimmer can be controlled through its serial port or networked to other dimmers using the industry-standard DMX512 protocol.
