The birth of gadgets and technological devices has relieved us from the ultimately hard labors that the people of our distant past had to endure. True, the literal meaning of the statement “sweat and blood builds the most amazing fortresses” is applicable to the creation of some of the most famous landmarks we see today such as the Pyramids of Egypt, but with the help of our advancement in technology we had discovered how to create things that would have been impossible in the past centuries. We wouldn’t have the easy comforts of using appliances and other machines
Yes, we live what we can consider a “good life” because of the electric gadgets. And to assure that these gadgets would actually work and to avoid accidents that can be encountered when dealing with electric materials it is no longer a trend to rely on luck, but we assure ourselves by checking their reliability with appropriate test equipments. The most common devices used for PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) are backplane testers, battery testers, burn-in test equipments and automated ones.
Although it is probably the most costly of all of these testers, the automated test equipment is the most sophisticated, and probably the most labor-efficient especially when there is a need to mass-produce industrial units, considering that it requires the least manpower. With automated test equipment, computers are used to program the device so that it would be able to check and measure apparatuses such as printed circuit boards, integrated circuits and other related contraptions. Automated test equipment can be very complex machineries such as a flying-probe tester, although there are also simple ones, such as the digital multi-meter.
With the expensive cost of automated testing equipments, it might be impractical for starters to purchase one. However, there are rental companies who provide not only the equipment but also the technical support needed for it. Renting the devices needed is an emerging trend today, and this proves to be good investment for business of all sizes too. Aside from the cost you cut from the budget for the purchase of the item you need, it also conveniently saves you from collecting technologically obsolete mechanisms.

Nowadays measurement equipment rental are more preferable than buying a new due to its inexpensive cost aside from that rental companies also provide maintenance if ever the device wont work properly.
