Abstract

An electronic testing machine that tests electronic components using test contacts is disclosed. A contact takes a plurality of electrical readings for a component retained in a test plate as the test plate is moved in microsteps. These electrical readings can be used to determine alignment and/or to correct alignment as necessary using an adjustment mechanism.
