Assembly Test Division, a global leader in electronics
testing and production solutions, announced today at
the NEPCON Shenzhen tradeshow, the immediate availability
of the TestStation SE™, a new addition to Teradyne's

About TestStation SE
The TestStation SE is a small footprint in-circuit
tester that can be configured with up to 2560 all-real
(non-multiplexed) channels, a high accuracy PRISM analog
measurement instrument, and in-depth digital test capabilities.
It is available with a number of industry-standard fixture
interfaces for preserving current investments and minimizing
transition costs.
System hardware is controlled by Teradyne's worksheet-based
software, which is simple to learn and use and which
can save days of program development and debug time.
To better support manufacturing operations in China,
the TestStation SE provides key operator user interface
screens in Chinese or English.
The TestStation SE is fully supported by Teradyne's
D2B™ (Design to Build) software suite, featuring
D2B A3™, and D2B Strategist™.
- D2B A3 is used to translate CAD designs, import
bills of materials data, optimize data for selected
manufacturing equipment, assign test probe locations
and output customized files.
- D2B Strategist™ is a decision-making software
solution that enables the deployment of complementary
distributed test strategies and the ability to run
multiple "what if" scenarios in seconds.

shorts and opens testing; analog value and digital function
testing; vectorless opens testing using Deltascan and
Framescan™; reduced-access boundary scan testing
using Teradyne's advanced Victory™ software; fast
programming of on board FLASH and ISP components using
Lightning hardware, and combinational testing using
optional VXI test instruments.
The TestStation SE provides all these capabilities
