METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING AND CONFIRMING TRANSFER OF PREDEFINED DATA TO A DEVICE UNDER TEST (DUT) DURING A TEST SEQUENCE
First Claim
1. A method for testing a device under test (DUT) during a test sequence, comprising:
- synchronizing a tester and a DUT; and
responsive to said synchronizing, performing, with said DUT, at least one ofstoring data related to at least one of an identification parameter of said DUT and an operational characteristic of said DUT,retrieving data, andtransmitting a data packet.

Abstract
A method for testing a device under test (DUT) during a test sequence. In accordance with one embodiment, during a regular, pre-defined test sequence, data packets are transferred from a tester to a device under test (DUT) containing data related to at least one of an identification parameter of the DUT, an operational characteristic of the DUT and a request for data. Examples of such transferred data include address data for identifying the DUT (e.g., a unique media access control (MAC) address) and calibration data for controlling an operational characteristic of the DUT (e.g., signal power levels, signal frequencies or signal modulation characteristics). In accordance with another embodiment, the DUT retrieves and transmits data to the tester, either in response to the request for data or as a preprogrammed response to its synchronization with the tester.

8. A method for operating a tester for testing a device under test (DUT) during a test sequence, comprising:
-
transmitting, with a tester, a synchronization initiation signal; receiving, with said tester, a synchronization confirmation signal from a DUT; transmitting, with said tester, a data signal including one or more data packets containing data related to at least one of an identification parameter of said DUT, an operational characteristic of said DUT and a request for data; receiving, with said tester from said DUT, a data packet related to said data signal. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
