Automatic Test Equipment Design

Functional automatic test equipment fate.

Automatic test equipment design. Automatic test equipment ate is a huge umbrella like term sheltering device test board test both unloaded and loaded and system test. The hardware and software architecture of the design are described in detail. Rising silicon transition speeds and higher data rates. Caci has broken new ground in designing and developing test systems from cots components.

Automatic test equipment ate refers to any equipment used to perform assembly line type testing of produced items. These types of test systems are usually dedicated to testing a specific component. This term usually refers to the large functional automatic test equipment in a specially designed console. The design comprises a core module that houses a processor and the primary instrumentation measurement and stimulus hardware of the test equipment.

Our engineering staff develops software in traditional test languages such as assembly ansi c fortran and visual basic as well as automatic test equipment ate programming languages such as atlas abbreviated test language for all systems labview labwindows cvi and teststand. These automatic test equipment systems are generally used for testing digital boards but these days these large testers are not widely used. Automatic test equipment or automated test equipment is any apparatus that performs tests on a device known as the device under test equipment under test or unit under test using automation to quickly perform measurements and evaluate the test results. In between simple manual testing and large scale ate lies the low budget and medium scale testing that is the focus of this application note.

A modular design for portable automatic test equipment used for on platform diagnostics is described. Automatic test equipment on a budget nov 19 2001 abstract.
