Abstract
A remote test module is disclosed for selectively interfacing a plurality of test channels between a tester interface and a plurality of specialized pins connected to a device-under-test. The tester interface is coupled to a test controller for generating predetermined test signals. The remote test module includes a signal conditioner responsive to the test controller for modifying said predetermined test signals into module test signals and applying the module test signals to the specialized pins of the device-under-test and a connection apparatus. The connection apparatus has a plurality of conductive paths for coupling the signal conditioner between the tester interface and the specialized pins.
