E-Marker testing reads the data from all E-Markers present on the cable, then validates
the advertised data and power capabilities against the actual measured parameters of
the cable. Additionally, the values of
fi
elds such as Vendor ID, Product ID, Test ID,
fi
rmware and hardware versions can be speci
fi
ed by the operator, for easy pass/fail
determination of cables through a QA process.
Lightning testing ensures proper operation of the Lightning plug, including proper
Lighting plug power-up, over-voltage, recovery, quiescent current, and current limit
testing per the Apple MFi speci
fi
cation. The ACT v2 tester is the only tester available that
can perform the tests required by the Apple Accessory Interface Speci
fi
cation (R31 and
greater).
