Flexible tools address changing IoT test needs

摘要

From development tools and simulation environments to programs that can speed manufacturing test, help visualize measurement results from multiple instruments, and support troubleshooting, software plays a key role in test-and-measurement projects, including those related to connected devices and smart objects. Jay Torgerson, business development manager for the Internet of Things at Anritsu, elaborated on that point, saying, "Many connected device product designers may not have wireless technology experience and therefore will rely on intelligent, easy-to-use test equipment to meet their broad and changing testing needs. Features such as simple test setup wizards, autoranging parameters, and good technical support allow developers to be operational quickly. Additionally, testing must be meaningful, fast, and repeatable. Unattended, automated testing allows engineers to conduct repeatable tests while they perform other product development tasks that can help bring products to market faster."
