Automatic Test Generation (ATG) – Program Development
Navigate™ is the software environment used for generating and running test programs on the TestStation™ and 228X™ test systems. The Navigate software was designed to be intuitive and easy-to-use. The user interface allows you to select your test goals and desired test techniques and then illustrates the steps that must be performed to generate a test program. Status feedback features are provided to help you monitor progress towards your selected test goals.
Key Features
Easy to learn and use
Integrated Software Development Environment for 228X/TestStation test programs
Supports popular Windows NT Operating System
Comprehensive online help and electronic books
Simple browser-like user interface
Customizable sidebar
Multi-Level Digital Isolation (MLDI) - High-performance test generation and circuit analysis software automatically disables or inhibits any outputs on the PCB connected to nets that are being driven. This capability is critical to avoiding potentially harmful voltage spikes that can cause CMOS latchup when an output being backdriven suddenly changes its logic state.
Hybrid Test Generator (HTG) - simplifies the generation of complex analog, digital, and mixed signal device tests. The Navigate Hybrid Test Library includes built-in models for many device types, including DACs, ADCs, Oscillators, and filters.
The Hybrid Model Editor simplifies the development of hybrid test models by providing a graphical user environment, including pull-down menus, cut and paste capabilities, point and click commands, and online help. Hand-written tests can be imported and modified so that they can be automatically generated for future board tests.
Key Features
Speeds generation of complex and custom tests
Increases test fault coverage by testing device types normally ignored by traditional test generators
Automatically generates functional and cluster tests
Library utility simplifies management of hybrid test models
