Message #38415 of 41445 |

I have a text where they're testing a "pripravek", which appears to be
some just-manufactured electronic device. I have no other context to
go on. Would this "pripravek" be called a "blank" in English? No
translation in any dictionary seems to fit.

Thanks very much.

Thanks. I ultimately did find English texts that talked about "testing blank devices", so maybe that's what this pripravek is. Jamie ... [Non-text portions of...	James Kirchner kirchnerjk	Dec 21, 2008 12:54 pm
I would say that a generic term for an electronic device or prototype, such as a "device" or a "unit", should work. I've never seen a "blank" or a "jig" used...	Josef Hlavac nahovno	Dec 21, 2008 8:43 am

Hi Jamie: I think you could call it "tester" in this context. Also, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_test_equipment. One word for a mechanical one...	Jirka Bolech jirkabolech	Dec 21, 2008 11:36 am
Thank you, Jirka. Actually it looks like my "pripravek" is the DUT and not the tester, because the pripravek is plugged into the tester. Jamie...	James Kirchner kirchnerjk	Dec 21, 2008 4:13 pm
