Supporting automated testing of devices in a test floor system

摘要

In an embodiment, a test floor apparatus includes at least one conveyor, a vertical stack buffer, and an automated handling station. The vertical stack buffer is operable to hold a plurality of DUT (device under test) receptacles and operable to place a DUT receptacle on the at least one conveyor to enable a corresponding DUT to be inserted into the DUT receptacle. The automated handling station is operable to access the DUT receptacle from the at least one conveyor and is operable to open the DUT receptacle to position the corresponding DUT in a manner that couples the corresponding DUT to an electrical interface of the DUT receptacle and that encloses the corresponding DUT inside the DUT receptacle to facilitate testing of the corresponding DUT.
