Preparing the Opto-mechanical Test Adapter 

In order to optically and mechanically couple the OB1203SD-RL-EVK reference board and the DUT to the 
WhaleTeq test head, it is required to provide a stable, reliable, and repeatable adapter. This adapter ensures 
that the test procedure can be followed successfully and to achieve repeatable test results that support the 
requirements of this procedure. Renesas has created a universal test adapter that can be machined or 3D 
printed. For more details, please see below.
