Marker system for test fixture

Abstract

The present invention is a test system for testing functionality of a manufactured component. The test system has a test fixture, a control unit and a marker assembly. The test fixture transmits tests signals to, and receives tests signals from, the manufactured component. The control unit produces test signals and transmits the test signals to, and receives tests signals from, the test fixture. The control unit also produces a result signal dependant on the received test signals. The control unit further produces an actuating signal in response to certain test signals. The marker assembly contains a marking material and is mounted in the test fixture. The marker assembly is configured to receive the actuating signal such that the marker assembly actuates in response to the actuating signal. Upon actuation, the marker assembly physically contacts the manufactured component leaving marking material on the manufactured component.
