HOW TO MESH TEST AND DESIGN.

This article illustrates how testing technology has advanced to meet the fast pace of today's product design activities. It includes testing the signal capability of a high-frequency sonar system and performing precompliance tests for conducted and radiated emissions on a prototype that contains a new switching power supply. It is reported that advances in computer softwares is a key factor for using and customizing testing equipment. Furthermore, now engineers are witnessing the "plug and play" generation of test and measurement devices.
