The application of the microprocessor in test equipment has affected the design of test systems for mass transit. Today, the test equipment is as sophisticated as the equipment that it tests. The increased speed that comes with the new technology was allowed testing to evolve from simple signal checking to system testing and monitoring of results. Computer links to printers and other display devices facilitate communications and accurate documentation of the results. The speed of microprocessors is enhancing the testing of Automatic Train Control for mass transit. Tests that took hours to complete with old style testers can now be completed in minutes. Complete vehicle testing that previously could not be attempted practically because of time considerations can now be completed in 30 minutes or less.
