Eliminating cabling in ATE makes sense.
Minimising cabling in Automatic Test Equipment does make sense! When designing ATE’s for Printed Circuit board or module testing, short signal lengths has always been an important factor in making your ATE more stable and reliable. If you are building a functional ATE then good quality cabling is even more important, due to the more complex signals to be measured. With new technologies that work with higher data rates and need more bandwidth, cabling can become even…
