Claim One:
1. A method for generating drive signals to test an assembly including a valve, an actuator and a switch motor, comprising: controlling a valve driver, an actuator driver and a motor driver from a processor to cause testing drive signals to be directed to the valve, actuator and motor, respectively; configuring the processor to sense and monitor drive voltage and current of the valve driver, actuator driver and motor driver; receiving feedback signals at the processor in response to the operation of the actuator based on the testing signals directed to the actuator via the actuator driver; and determining, based on the feedback signals, commands at the processor to cause additional testing signals to be directed to the valve, actuator and motor via the valve driver, actuator driver and motor driver, whereby the drive voltage and current and feedback signals are analyzed to assess operational characteristics of the assembly.
