Claims
- 1. A method for testing ultra high speed digital equipment comprising the steps of selecting an input signal to be fed through the digital equipment; storing this input signal in a first shift register; selecting an expected output signal which should be presented if the input signal was fed through said digital equipment; storing this expected output signal in a second shift register; feeding the input signal from the first shift register into the digital equipment; and comparing the output from the digital equipment with the expected output signal stored in the second shift register to detect faults.
- 2. A method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising the steps of recirculating the input signal out of the first shift register back into the input of the first shift register so as to provide consecutive insertions of the input signal into the digital equipment; and recirculating the output of the expected output signal of the second shift register back into the input of the second shift register so as to provide consecutive outputs of the expected output signal so that they can be compared with the outputs of the digital equipment.
