Instrument Backplane Tester (AKA Cryostat Continuity Checker)

The Instrument Backplane GPIB Tester card has the same footprint as all plug-in MCE cards and can be used to measure impedances of the cryostat interface and identify shorts and opens in the cryostat and/or the MCE. The test setup relies on running a Labview script.
