Functional Test

BreconRidge Test Engineering delivers turnkey functional test solutions for volume manufacturing environments for a variety of applications used in analog, digital, RF, wireless, and optical communication systems. In support of customers with a variety of product configurations BreconRidge offers the General Purpose Test System (GPTS).  The GPTS is a physical platform architecture that provides a common interface for a range of product-specific test fixtures and capabilities to integrate various automated test instruments and any necessary custom circuitry. The GPTS can be easily upgraded, expanded and reconfigured, to accommodate customer-specific test requirements, thereby optimizing manufacturing costs, flexibility and maintainability.

Complementing the generic GPTS hardware architecture is the Common Test Platform (CTP) software. The CTP offers three test modes: go/no go testing (for Manufacturing Operators); debug mode (for Manufacturing Technicians) and engineering mode (for Test Engineers) to control test plans and test codes using a variety of software tools including Labview, LabWindows/CVI, TestStand and Visual Basic. 

Using the capabilities of the GPTS architecture and the CTP, complemented by expertise in the design and fabrication of test fixtures (leveraging in-house machine shop capabilities), BreconRidge delivers cost-effective, product-specific functional test solutions that encompass parametric tests, embedded diagnostics, manufacturing and field repair tests. BreconRidge has deployed globally several GPTS-based testers for numerous Customers in Canada, USA and Asia.
