Hello!

So I just finished tweaking the analysis and the results are:

No TAB channels *always* fail in every slot.

Only one cable position fails for every TAB.

That means all other problems are of a flakey nature.  They involve a TAB channel which sometimes works and an ADF/ATC/cable which sometimes works.

The number of ADF/ATC/cable combinations that fail for at least one TAB is 50%.

For a given configuration (seven TABs assigned to seven slots), and one deskewing, the failure rate is about 5% to 10%.

For a given configuration and ten tests, the failure rate increases to around 13% to 20%.

cheers,
