Patent ID: 7888949

Claim:
In an electronic testing machine having a plurality of test modules located on angularly spaced radial lines extending from an associated central axis, each test module having a plurality of contact pairs for testing electronic components, the improvement of an electrical test setup and calibration apparatus comprising: a plate having at least one test electrode mounted to the plate, wherein the plate is movable between test positions to electrically insert a test device selectively between a contact pair of the plurality of contact pairs, the test device selected from a group consisting of a volt meter, a current meter, a precision current source, a precision voltage source, a calibration resistor, and a calibration capacitor; and a test machine controller programmed to perform at least one test function through the plate, the test function selected from a group consisting of alignment verification, voltage/current source verification, insulation resistance (IR) leakage measurement verification, part-present contact check verification, capacitance and dissipation (CD) measurement verification, IR/CD compensation, and IR/CD calibration.
