Processor-Controlled Test (PCT) Movies

There are two PCT movies (formally called MicroMaster); it is advisable to watch the PCT Overview before the PCT Demo to understand how PCT can help your specific test strategy.

1. PCT Overview - an explanation of PCT's applications and benefits within an overall test and debug strategy. Watch this before the PCT Demo.
2. PCT Demo - a demonstration of the features and operation of the PCT user interface.

	PCT Overview - 14 mins. (streaming movie)

The above movies will open in a browser window for streaming playback. The playback controls are located in a bar at the bottom of the movie.

Note: The screen will remain white for a few seconds while the first few frames of the movie are loaded. Speakers or headphones are required.
