Abstract

A tester for use with a device under test includes a processor, a signal timing editor to create representations of signal waveforms and associated times, and a test program executable on the processor that schedules events based on information from the signal timing editor. The test program schedules different delays for the events to compensate for variations in time delays between different signals coupled to the device under test.
