Testing device and method for testing backplanes and connectors on backplanes

摘要

A testing device for testing a backplane preferably includes an impulse board with a connector for connection to the backplane, where the impulse board sends test signals to the backplane; a receiver board with a connector for connection to the backplane, where the receiver board receives the test signals; and a communication channel between the receiver board and the impulse board through which the receiver board signals to the impulse board results of the test signals.
