Testing digital devices

[Red Hawk]

Is there any software addons for LabVIEW which automaticly generate tests for finding errors in digital devices?

If you are using NI hardware you can do a Self Test in DAQmx.  I dont know if this is what you are looking for though.

I am looking for software which could generate test (combinations of 1 and 0 for inputs) to check if a device works properly. Of couse, this devices are not manufactured by NI

This sounds like a simple program, if all you really want is randomly generated sets of 1&0's.  Have you tried writing anything to accomplish this?  What is the interface for the hardware?

Cheers!

if tests are generated randomly this garntees only a certain probability that a device is ok. There is a mathematical approach to generate alpha-tests (to test all possible signal paths), beta-tests (test compensatory paths), OV-tests and so on. The whole algorithms here are rather difficult, they based on directional derivatives from logical functions...

I see, I miss understood what you were after.  As far as I know LabVIEW doesnt contain the prepackaged testing programs you are looking for.

An interface doesn't matter.

Many thanks.
