[OT] Automated testing of multimeter board/software...

[Andrew Kilgore <andrew.kilgore@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I work with a product used by telecom engineers to measure/diagnose faults
on telecom lines.

At present we are trying to automate some of testing - starting with basic
multimeter functions.
Ideally, we'd like to have a breadboard of resistors and some method of
(preferably automatically) switching "configurations".

For example, suppose the breadboard has 10 resistors (R1 - R10), what we
currently have to do is:
Set our terminals to the ends of R1, run our test, store/confirm measured
value
Set our terminals to the ends of R2, run our test, store/confirm measured
value
etc.

Of course this means someone has to manually set the terminals between
tests.
Does anyone have any ideas of how we might automate this process such that
we could run the suite of tests without the need for manual intervention.

Many thanks,
Andy.

P.S. I've already suggested getting in that Honda robot to do it - not a
go-er...
