Spectrum HS™


A Functional Test System Optimized for Real-Time Digital Bus Test

Defense and aerospace manufacturers and field repair depots face ever more rigorous demands for real-time test of boards, assemblies, and systems—especially new products in the development pipeline—that conventional testers can’t handle. Spectrum HS is Teradyne’s fully integrated functional test system. Optimized for real-time test of low latency buses, it’s a high-performance system delivering excellent test coverage of current and future products. Designed around PXI and LXI instrumentation, The HS system has the performance, flexibility, and completeness needed to meet formidable analog, digital, mixed-signal, and bus test specs. Teradyne’s powerful hardware is accompanied by robust yet straightforward software tools that speed comprehensive test program set (TPS) development. More than five decades of Teradyne’s functional test experience are built into the Spectrum HS—the long-term answer to increasingly challenging high-speed test requirements.
