Abstract
Arrangement of circuit cards and enclosures in a unified video test apparatus wherein the circuit boards may be arranged within a single enclosure, having a size spanning two slots of an instrument chassis wherein each circuit board includes none, some or all of the functional modules of the video test apparatus. Alternatively, the circuit boards are arranged in different enclosures, with each circuit board including some of the functional modules of the video test apparatus, and the different enclosures may be arranged in a common instrument chassis or in different instrument chassis. A single or multiple software interfaces in a host computer can control the functional modules in the different enclosures in the same or different chassis to cause the arrangement to appear as a homogenous instrument regardless of location of the functional modules, and coordinates interaction between the functional modules.
