What is a test adaptor?
A test adapter is used to test and debug board. The test adapter is plugged into the slot in a subrack / system, the board is plugged into the front connector. The board which shall be tested is then located in the free air in front of the chassis, the test & measurement points onto the board are easily accessible. The signal and address lines as well as power from the backplane connector are 1 to 1 connected to the front connector. Usually the test adapter has also some fields for voltage measurements or voltage and current measurements and in some cases also some pins for wire wrap to realize custom connections.
