In a method and a device for testing a plurality of measured devices in
parallel by using a single signal generator and a single bit error
measuring device, a serial testing signal for is converted and
demultiplexed into parallel signals corresponding to channels
respectively assigned to a plurality of measured devices and a redundant
channel, one of the plurality of parallel signals being a passing signal
passing through the redundant channel is converted into a channel
determination signal for specifying an alignment of the measured devices,
output signals of the measured devices and the channel determination
signal are multiplexed corresponding to a demultiplexing mode used for
demultiplexing the serial signal, and bit errors are measured in the
multiplexed signals and measured devices at which the bit errors are
generated are detected in consideration of the channel determination
signal.
