A test and measurement system to assess performance characteristics of an
endoscope or other optically based diagnostic or treatment devices. The
performance characteristics can include the photometric characteristics,
the imaging characteristics and the physical characteristics of the
structural elements including mechanical, pneumatic and fluidic systems.
The system comprises software and related devices for calibrating the
measurement devices, collecting and controlling measurements, analyzing
measurements and comparing them to established performance criteria. The
system also analyzes previous measurements and provides analysis and
reports to assess trends and plan for replacement or servicing.
