Computer Component Tester

Body
Carlos Horvath of the Burroughs Corporation, inspired by information published in NASA Tech Briefs, developed the AC/DC tester which checks out ECL (Emitter Coupled Logic) devices and their functionality within the computer. Each ECL device has a specific task in the computer's operation; the tester determines whether the device is performing that function properly. Horvath's invention allows rapid manual checking without extensive programming as it is required by other test methods; thus the ECL tester makes it easier to find out what is malfunctioning, and does the job faster.
