Similar to a Design Validation Tester (DVT), a Product Characterization Tester (PCT), is used by the designers to gather information about the design itself, as opposed to a specific unit being tested. This type of test is usually going to be a specific test program running on a Product Characterization Tester and will usually run on a sample set of UUTs to help validate the design from a statistical standpoint.  This is an area of expertise for our resource.

Industry-Standard System Components

Our ATE solution delivers Product Characterization Testers that are designed to be easy to use and maintain over their lifetime. Wherever possible, we use industry standard components and COTS parts.

Industry-Standard Software

Test software is an extremely important part of ATE. Choosing the right software tools is key to the long-term maintenance and operation of your test system. Our resource is a strong advocate for LabVIEW and TestStand from National Instruments. Those are the industry standards in test software development. Our ATE engineering solution is an expert in LabVIEW development, with multiple Certified Architects and Certified Developers on staff.

Using proven open-source frameworks, our resource creates software that can be developed quickly and maintained by your internal team. At the end of the project, you own all the source code. That ensures your control of your system and that you are not tied into any single provider for maintenance and upgrades throughout the lifecycle of your system.

Custom Interfacing Hardware

Many designs have specific requirements for interfacing to certain signals. In those situations, we design and build custom interfacing PCBAs.
