Production Interface is used in production line for all customers, each customer will develop their own customized OI based on different needs or setup.

For easier development of OI tools, Teradyne provides a control library named “ProductionControls.ocx” which was developed by VB6 more than 20 years ago. From time to time, customers are requiring an easier and more modern way of OI development, especially the VB6 development environment is not supported by latest OS. Therefore, we developed a new OI Controls library based on .NET(WPF), which is very flexible to create customized interface by dragging built-in controls even you don’t need to write any codes. At the same time, the new .NET Production Controls Library provides plenty of APIs to support fully control of test program execution, including the control drivers.

Here are the main topics of this paper:

  1. .NET Sample Production Interface
  2. Built-In Controls of .NET Production Controls library
  3. APIs provided by .NET Production Controls library
  4. Demo of how to create a Production Interface with .NET OI Controls library
