Production testing equipment

[davman]

Hi,

Anyone familiar/experiened in production-test gear for BLE?

• Test sets, i.e. LitePoint, Anritsu, USRP, NI?

• What's relevant to test, i.e. output power, sensitivity, carrier & drift, etc.

• Test-coverage, i.e. what can the expensive gear above catch vs. a setup just using a simple nrf-dongle inside a shield-box?

A proper BLE tester will make sure everything is on order and can tell you exactly what's working or not.

All nRF devices are tested in production, so you can focus on testing the whole chain in one go by using a connection test, to a dongle for instance. Any mechanical issues (soldering) misplaced components etc will be tested here.
