Abstract
Provided is a test apparatus that tests a device under test, comprising a test unit that sends and receives signals to and from the device under test; a control apparatus that controls the test unit; and a relay apparatus that relays between the control apparatus and the test unit. The relay apparatus includes a first communicating section that receives a command from the control apparatus to the relay apparatus and transmits the command to the test unit; a second communicating section that receives a return command that is transmitted back to the relay apparatus by the test unit that received the command; and an executing section that executes a process designated by the return command, in response to the second communicating section receiving the return command.
Claims10
A test apparatus that tests a device under test, comprising:
- a test unit that sends and receives signals to and from the device under test;
- a control apparatus that controls the test unit;
- and
- a relay apparatus that relays between the control apparatus and the test unit, wherein
- the relay apparatus includes a first communicating section that receives a command from the control apparatus to the relay apparatus and transmits the command to the test unit,
- the test unit, upon receiving the command from the relay apparatus, transmits the received command back to the relay apparatus as a return command, and
- the relay apparatus further includes:
- a second communicating section that receives the return command that is transmitted back to the relay apparatus by the test unit that received, the command;
- and
- an executing section that executes a process designated by the return command, in response to the second communicating section receiving the return command.
A test apparatus that tests a device under test, comprising:
- a test unit that sends and receives signals to and from the device under test;
- a control apparatus that controls the test unit;
- and
- a relay apparatus that relays between the control apparatus and the test unit, wherein
- the relay apparatus includes a first communicating section that receives a command from the control apparatus to the relay apparatus and transmits the command to the test unit,
- the test unit, upon receiving the command from the relay apparatus, transmits the received command back to the relay apparatus as a return command, and
- the relay apparatus further includes:
- a second communicating section that receives the return command that is transmitted back to the relay apparatus by the test unit that received the command;
- and
- an executing section that executes a process designated by the return command, in response to the second communicating section receiving the return command,
- the control apparatus issues a write command to the relay apparatus,
- the first communicating section of the relay apparatus transmits the write command issued by the control apparatus to the test unit,
- upon receiving the write command from the relay apparatus, the test unit transmits the received write command to the relay apparatus as the return command, and
- the executing section of the relay apparatus executes as process in response to receiving the return command from the test unit.
An information processing, system comprising:
- a processing unit:
- a control apparatus that controls the processing unit;
- and
- a relay apparatus that relays between the control apparatus and the processing unit, wherein
- the relay apparatus includes a first communicating section that receives a command from the control apparatus to the relay apparatus and transmits the command to the processing unit,
- the test unit, upon receiving the command from the relay apparatus, transmits the received command back to the relay apparatus as a return command, and
- the relay apparatus further includes:
- a second communicating section that receives the return command that is transmitted back to the relay apparatus by the processing unit that received the command;
- and
- an executing section that executes a process designated by the return command, in response to the second communicating section receiving the return command.
