The MX-17 was acclaimed by Adar Associates as the
intelligent approach to automatic testing. But intelligent or not,
they had entered a whole different realm with this machine. The
company had gained its fame as a memory test company. Unlike memory
testing, which was highly structured, logic testing is
state-dependent, with most failures throwing the chip into a new
state rather than causing it to cease functioning. In
microprocessors, as in music tones, there are more states than there
are stars in the heavens.
