Electronic controller with converter component and signal hold circuit to hold and output indicator signals for a duration

An electronic controller comprising:

• a converter component communicably coupled to a computing device, the converter component configured to receive at least one data signal from the computing device and output a first converted data signal;
• a controller component communicably coupled to the converter component and configured to receive the first converted data signal and output a control signal;
• a first circuit communicably coupled to the controller component configured to receive the control signal and generate a transmitter control pulse directed to a test device;
• a second circuit configured to receive one or more indicator signals from the test device wherein the indicator signals include at least one of a high state indicating the test device received the transmitter control pulse and a low state indicating the test device did not receive the transmitter control pulse;
• a signal hold circuit electrically coupled to the second circuit and the controller component, the signal hold circuit configured to hold at least one of the one or more indicator signals for a duration and output the held indicator signal;
• and
• wherein the controller component includes logic operative to generate at least one data signal provided to the converter component wherein the data signal indicates the state of the indicator signal;
• and wherein the converter component is configured to provide a second converted data signal directed to the computing device wherein the second converted data signal indicates the state of the indicator signal.
