1. A test system comprising:
- a heating mechanism;
a cooling mechanism; and
an instrument module comprising one or more interfaces to receive signals from a device under test (DUT), the DUT being external to the instrument module, the instrument module comprising one or more electrical components to affect the signals, the instrument module being between the heating mechanism and the cooling mechanism;
wherein the heating mechanism is configured to apply heat to a top surface of the instrument module, and the cooling mechanism is configured to cool a bottom surface of the instrument module, the heating mechanism and the cooling mechanism are configured to operate to maintain the instrument module within a target temperature range, and the top and bottom surfaces are relative to ground.
