DUTs
A DUT (device under test) is your circuit board as Studio understands it — the foundation object that everything else attaches to. You create a DUT for each board design, upload its design files, and Studio parses them into a board model: layout, dimensions, layer count, components, and test-relevant features.
Each DUT revision is a distinct object. When your board revs, create a new DUT for the new revision — your existing DUTs, their files, and their test configs stay intact, and all of them appear in the DUTs list.
What a DUT holds
- Design files — the PCB design package and 3D model, plus any supporting engineering files. Files are processed in the background and each shows its processing status.
- Board specifications — dimensions, layer count, component count, and board type extracted from the design data.
- PCB layout — an interactive render parsed from your design files, with a full viewer one click away.
- Test configs — one or many per DUT, each defining what a fixture should test on this board. See Test Configs.
The path to a fixture
The DUT is step one of Studio's configure-price-quote workflow:
- Create a DUT — identify the board and upload its files (walkthrough)
- Create a test config — define what needs testing (walkthrough)
- Configure a fixture — Studio generates recommended fixture configurations from your test config, with real-time pricing
