Abstract
An apparatus and method for testing infrared functions of infrared transceiver modules that is equipped with an infrared transmission capability mainly includes to start test operation before an infrared transceiver module being installed on an electronic device thereby to shorten test time of the infrared transceiver module, reduce test cost and improve production yield of the infrared transceiver module.
Claims9
An apparatus for testing infrared functions of an infrared transceiver module that is equipped with an infrared transmission capability, comprising:
- a processor for emitting a test signal;
- an infrared test module connected to the processor for emitting an infrared tested signal and receiving an infrared result signal, and emitting the infrared tested signal after having received the test signal;
- a targeted test module connected to the infrared test module to install the infrared transceiver module and test the infrared transceiver module after having received the infrared tested signal, and transmit the infrared result signal back to the processor through the infrared test module for sending out;
- and
- a display device connected to the processor for receiving the infrared result signal from the processor and displaying the infrared result signal.
A method for testing infrared functions of an infrared transceiver module that is equipped with an infrared transmission capability, comprising steps of:
- installing an infrared transceiver module that is equipped with the infrared transmission capability on a targeted test module;
- activating an actuator to drive a processor to emit a test signal;
- receiving the test signal by an infrared test module which emits an infrared tested signal;
- receiving the infrared tested signal by the targeted test module;
- testing the infrared transceiver module by the targeted test module which sends a infrared result signal back to the infrared test module;
- receiving the infrared result signal by the infrared test module which sends the infrared result signal back to the processor;
- and
- transferring the infrared result signal from the processor to a display device for displaying the infrared result signal.
