Its interesting how really old digital or mixed signal testers can be used in new ways with a good loadboard. I do not know how many engineers remember the old IMS tester. Its really old but with proper care and maintenance still provides good service. Its basically a digital tester but there are options that allow it to operate as a mixed signal or analog tester. Even a digital only tester can be used as a high frequency analog/RF tester with  the proper load board. The high frequency – digital interface resides on the loadboard. The tester then is used in its standard capacity as a digital tester. The interface takes care of the RFMW/Analog interface. Interesting.
