1. A system for transmitting information from a source of designing electrical circuits to a source of manufacturing electrical circuits, which information is used in testing an electrical circuit at said source of manufacturing electrical circuits, comprising in combination:

  • electric circuit design means formed to design at least one particular circuit;

    autogeneration means connected to said electrical circuit design means to receive information therefrom related to said particular circuit, said autogeneration means formed to create a compacted information program including truth table concepts, related to said particular circuit, whereby when said information program is implemented said truth table concepts cause certain aspects of said particular circuit to be tested;

    information communication means having first and second stations with said first station connected to said autogeneration means to receive said compacted information program therefrom, said first station formed to transmit said compacted information program to said second station;

    translation means connected to said second station to receive said compacted information program therefrom, said translation means formed to expand said compacted information program into said truth table concepts; and

    testing means connected to said translation means to receive said truth table concepts and formed to apply signals representing said truth table concepts to said particular circuit to effect testing thereof.
