The first thing to study is the board that you're testing. You should
have a good basic understanding of its operation. Whfen you
functionally test something, you are attempting to recreate the normal
working environment of the board and verify that it meets it's design
specifications. You will
It's a backplane circuit, and it also generates clock. Is that a
hi-frequency circuit ? Is it likely that I can try using a bed of
nails to get a clock signal from the circuit board to measure ?
If all you want is frequency, you'll probably be okay. Depending on
frequency, wiring type (twisted pair, coax, etc.), other types of
measurement such as rise time or amplitude might not be so accurate.
I am assigned to write LabVIEW program and design a system for a
functional circuit test system for a circuit that generates voltage
and current. A bed of nails will be used in the FCT. Most of the
signal acquired are digital signals and about 2 analog signals. I have
never developed any FCT
