  • an object unit designed to hold the object;

    a test unit including equipment for subjecting the object to a combination of two or more different types of tests;

    sensors located in at least one of the object unit and the test unit, wherein the sensors read data resulting from testing the object and generate output signals that correspond to the data; and
