Methods and apparatus for analysis of electronic components such as radio transceivers (for example, WLAN, Bluetooth, cellular, GPS). In one embodiment, a “black box” is diagnosed in its final device application and layout, using a series of software test routines or suites. The test suites provide simultaneous monitoring of multiple non-overlapping status indicators. Each test suite can be selectively enabled or disabled, and may also provide runtime modification of one or more parameters, and or intelligent testing of system operation. In another embodiment, multiple black box modules within a single form factor device are simultaneously run; the interference levels between the black box modules (as well as other parameters) are independently measured, displayed and logged to the user. Exemplary embodiments are described in reference to a Bluetooth module and WLAN module operating within a spatially restricted device (such as a desktop/laptop computer, “smartphone”, Bluetooth mouse and keyboard).
Computer readable apparatus having a non-transitory storage medium comprising at least one radio transceiver test program having a plurality of executable instructions associated therewith for testing at least a first and a second wireless interface located within a common device, the at least one radio transceiver test program comprising:
An electronic apparatus adapted to perform multivariate analysis of at least one operational function, the apparatus comprising:
A method for debugging a converged electronic device comprising a plurality of wireless interfaces, the method comprising:
