When the power is turned on, the power of other channels will be turned off by default. The control board 2 is 60CM*120CM in size.
[0045] The test board 5 of this utility model includes an unstable crystal oscillator test board 5 and an active crystal oscillator test board 5.
[0046] Among them, 5 are uninsulated crystal oscillator test boards.

Each test board 5 has multiple packages to choose from, and only one type of crystal oscillator can be soldered on one test board 5. The position corresponding to the crystal oscillator under test 7 is a reserved mounting position. When the crystal oscillator under test needs to be tested, the crystal oscillator under test 7 is soldered and installed in the reserved mounting position.
[0047] The testing system provided by this utility model can simultaneously test 11 samples of different types and packages of crystal oscillators by replacing the test board 5.
