Test apparatus
First Claim
1. Test apparatus comprising:
- a connector for connecting to the test apparatus a system to be tested, a processor for controlling the operation of the test apparatus and a user interface device for presenting an interface to a user for the provision of input and output, a plurality of test routines, each defining a test to be performed on a system to be tested, each test routine having associated information relating to an input user interface and an output user interface to be presented to a user in response to the associated test routine being selected, each output user interface being a simulation of the interface provided by conventional test equipment, the processor being arranged, on selection of a particular test routine, to present to the user a user interface determined by the information associated with the test routine, the user interface being a simulation of the conventional test apparatus normally used to carry out the test routines on the system to be tested.
