Abstract: This is a tutorial in the application of digital integrated circuits to laboratory experimental design. For appropriate experiments, a hardware controller may be the most economical as well as the most enjoyable approach. By and large, the hardware profession has done a poor job of providing clear, straightforward principles of hardware design; therefore, the design process is often viewed as a “black art” accessible only to specialists. The computer software profession has begun to realize the vital need for systematic approaches to problem solving. We hope to contribute to a similar movement in the digital hardware design area.

TL;DR: In this paper, an approach to accomplish the partial automation of electronic testing functions is presented, focusing on these functions as they apply to the manufacture of electronic printed circuit assemblies, and the approach chosen strikes a reasonable compromise between the following factors which determine how much can be gained through automation.
Abstract: UTOMATION A of manufacturing processes is a broad and complex task. Many manufacturing operations, particularly those engaged in continuous flow product processing, require nearly total automation. Other manufacturing processes engaged in the assembly of relatively small volumes of complex assemblies find automation very difficult to apply at all. Here is an approach to accomplish the partial automation of electronic testing functions. As an example, we will concentrate on these functions as they apply to the manufacture of electronic printed circuit assemblies. However, the ideas presented can be applied to a wide variety of manufacturing operations. In selecting the methods and extent of automation, the approach chosen strikes a reasonable compromise between the following factors which determine how much can be gained through automation.
