Product Integration

Software

Efficiency, throughput and reliability are very important in the production environment. One of the major components that define a tester’s performance in production is the production software.  Is the tester easy to use by an operator yet flexible for engineering personnel?  Are the production displays informative and clear?  Does the operating system help enforce test floor procedures and protect valuable test programs and device data?  Is the communication between the handler and prober efficient yet reliable enough to allow production to run continuously?  Are the datalogs manageable and error free?

The answers to these sorts of questions are as close as the Production Integration Applications team.  We help you prepare for the rigors of the production environment and provide the key support to avoid downtime.  The PI Applications software team covers the following aspects of both IMAGE and IG-XL:

  • Tester operator interfaces
  • Handler / Prober communication drivers
  • Test results data collection
  • UNIX and Windows system administration
  • SECS/GEM control
  • Integration of 3rd party production software

Whether you are designing a new production software environment or enhancing an existing one, the PI Applications team is ready to help.
