1. A system for testing multiple printed circuit boards (PCBs) comprising:
a PCB testing fixture;
a battery tester;
a data acquisition unit including a multiplexer;
a software platform; and
at least one remote device;
wherein the data acquisition unit is in network communication with the software platform and the PCB testing fixture;
wherein the at least one remote device is in network communication with the software platform;
wherein the battery tester is connected to the PCB testing fixture and the data acquisition unit, wherein the battery tester is configured to provide an electric stimulus to the PCB testing fixture;
wherein the PCB testing fixture is configured to receive a plurality of PCBs, wherein the plurality of PCBs includes a first PCB and a second PCB;
wherein the PCB testing fixture is configured to provide the electric stimulus generated by the battery tester to each PCB of the plurality of PCBs;
wherein the PCB testing fixture is configured to generate PCB output data for each PCB of the plurality of PCBs;
wherein the PCB testing fixture is configured to transmit the PCB output data to the data acquisition unit;
wherein the software platform is configured to analyze the PCB output data;
wherein the software platform is configured to determine if each PCB of the plurality of PCBs meets at least one output requirement;
wherein the first PCB has a first output requirement, wherein the second PCB has a second output requirement, and wherein the first output requirement is different from the second output requirement; and
wherein the at least one remote device is configured to display the analyzed PCB output data.
