Abstract

The design and implementation of a microcomputer-based video analysis system is described in this thesis. Both hardware and software development were required to produce a system capable of testing various types of video cards. The hardware design included not only a microprocessor but also programmable digital logic and analog circuitry. The software design included the use of CUPL to develop the programmable logic, MCS BASIC-52 for internal control of the microcomputer, and QuickBASIC programs for the BASIC-52 development environment. QuickBASIC was also used as trial development software for the test station. The test system objective is to replace all forms of operator-assisted video testing currently performed on the production floor. This video testing technique results in improved product quality and higher test coverage.
