 | Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) is an automated device that is used to quickly test and validate the performance of an electronic module or an Avionic LRU (Line replaceable unit). ATE essentially generates the necessary stimulus/inputs that are required to test a Unit Under Test (UUT) and measures the response/ outputs from the UUT. ATE devices are essentially always controlled by computers although in the past, custom-designed controllers or even relay and switches. |
