Testing systems and methods

Abstract

A system of the present disclosure has a host testing device having a first wireless transceiver and having host testing device logic configured to transmit a test command via the first wireless transceiver. Additionally, the system has a remote testing device coupled to a system component. The remote testing device has a second wireless transceiver and remote testing device logic that receives the test command from the host testing device and executes the test command on the system component.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A testing system, comprising:
 a host controller device comprising a wireless transceiver configured for transmitting data indicative of a test to be performed on a cable;   at least one testing device communicatively coupled to the host controller device via the wireless transceiver, the testing device comprising an adaptor configured for connecting the testing device to a cable and logic configured for performing the test on the cable based upon data received from the host controller device.   
     
     
         2 . The testing system of  claim 1 , wherein the data indicative of the test to be performed comprises data indicative of a high voltage for application to the cable. 
     
     
         3 . The testing system of  claim 2 , wherein the data indicative of the test to be performed further comprises data indicative of a test limit. 
     
     
         4 . The testing system of  claim 3 , wherein the logic is further configured to apply the voltage to a first end of the cable, measure a current resulting in a second end of the cable, and determine, based upon comparing the measured current to the test limit, whether the insulation of the cable has been compromised. 
     
     
         5 . The testing system of  claim 1 , wherein there is no galvanic connection between the host controller device and the testing device.
