• Send modules overnight to Central Calibration and Service.
  • We test all 4/8 Rx channels with all aggressor channels operating at three temperature settings and three power supply variations.
  • Up to 72(=8Rx x 3 temps x 3 voltages) pairs of sensitivity tests completed in less than a week.
  • We report Stressed and Unstressed data with BER plots for all conditions.
  • Receive written results in a week.
  • Central Calibration and Service returns the modules.
  • Formal Qualification Report (~ 45 pages) 2-3 weeks.  

Why Stress Test? Because it is a standard. Read more about why testing with stress is required.
