What is a Country Kit?
A Microtronix Country Kit is an Application Product developed for the Model 500 Test System that provides you with a "ready to go" solution to assure that your products comply with appropriate international standards. Each Country Kit provides you with Model 500/501 software, Central Office Simulator modules and manual containing comprehensive documentation on the tests that are performed.A Country Kit represents hours of specification document review by Microtronix staff for each country. This information is then coded into Test Programs and a book is published for each Country Kit to help you understand what is going on in each test.
Each Kit provides you with two Test programs. One is for Quality Assurance (QA) and is therefore large and takes longer to execute. The QA program turns your Model 500/501 into a virtual telephone test lab and generates a substantial report on each telephone that is tested. The Production Test Program has been trimmed down by Microtronix staff to take less time but still provide the essential tests to evaluate the phone. You receive the source code (program text) for both programs.
Can the tests be changed?
Microtronix Country Kits provide you with and excellent starting point for your testing regime but sometimes you require something different. If you purchase the Test Program Development Kit (TPDK) the Country Kit Test Progams can be changed by your engineering staff to meet your needs. You can adjust the limits of the program or balance your time versus test requirements precisely. If learning the in and outs of programming your system is not in your schedule Microtronix has skilled test programmers on staff that can create what you need.
