Teradyne introduces portable maintenance and diagnostic tester for system-level testing

Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE:TER) introduced and demonstrated a new portable maintenance test system, the GDS-3100(TM), at the IEEE's Autotestcon Systems Readiness Technology Conference held here at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center.

The Teradyne(R) GDS-3100 is a next-generation, fully integrated diagnostic tablet tester that delivers maintenance information and diagnostic routines directly into the hands of the maintainer. The GDS-3100 is a proven COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) solution, which represents the result of more than nine years of commercial experience in providing man-portable maintenance aides in applications where effective diagnostics are critical to the success of a system. It provides high-density communications and flexible test capability for Operational-Level maintainers who need communications capability, Built-In Test (BIT) automation, and general-purpose test capabilities for system-level maintenance activities.

Steve Fairbanks, Teradyne product manager, said: "The GDS-3100 is unique compared to other portable maintenance solutions because it provides at-system maintainers the tools that cover their diagnostic and electronic maintenance requirements in an integrated package under software control."
