Functional Test
Functional testers test the operation of each of the parts of the PCB or assembly. A functional tester typically powers up the board and connects to all the inputs and outputs so the board behaves as if it is installed. The tester then provides combinations of stimuli and verifies the proper response to every situation the board must handle. This is a complete functional test of the board. Functional testers can be found In-House for companies doing their own production as well as at contract manufacturers. Our solution provides testers for both scenarios.
Industry-Standard System Components
Our ATE solution delivers Functional Test Systems 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.
