 		 #129498 - subtle, but not necessarily on the mark

In the US (remember the UK is different what a difference 200 years makes)

debugging - This assumes a broken unit
testing - OK
setting up - more of an instalation thing
setup-and-testing
tuning - calibration for radios
calibration - usual only Adjustment
preset - No
adjusting - fails final test back to calibration
comissioning - Only for ships

Test and calibration will be understould.


From my experience, I'd say that debugging is a process that takes a newly designed, unreleased, unit that has never worked, and converts it to one that actually works. Bugs (misisng semicolon, open trace, mis-set jumper, erroneous logic, erroneous PCB or wiring, etc.) can be in hardware or software. If it's "broken", this implies that it did work ... once ... and then the remediation procedure is called "repair."

Testing is something else I've already described a number of times. Its purpose is to ensure that a fully characterized unit meets all pre-specified design and manufacturing criteria.

      this sounds to be mass production output process..            01/01/70 00:00      
         maybe a narrower definition would be appropriate            01/01/70 00:00      
            it depends on the scale            01/01/70 00:00
