ETS Software Suite

Every ETS system operates from an industry standard C/C++ visual studio programming platform and integrates the ATE tools required for successful implementation and deployment of your test solutions quickly and confidently every time. Using proven programming strategy, the EV software suite provides the tools necessary for rapid program development, offline test emulation, and a robust set of data analysis tools that provide engineers with the data when and where it is needed and in a industry compatible format.

The EV software suite is a robust test development environment, elevating applications program development and debug to new heights. Every ETS system is controlled via PC, running a standard Microsoft® operating system and using the Microsoft .NET C/C++ development tools for code creation. ETS software tools are easy to learn, easy to use and fully integrated into the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment. A suite of automatic code generation tools supports the complete test system command set, providing users with the program control they need without forcing them to memorize coding syntax. Wizard tools are available for creating tests, editing test limits, and changing the test execution flow. Graphical plotting tools are provided for simple point-and-click plotting of test-oriented waveforms. The eRAIDE debug environment makes it easy to view and change tester hardware settings. A robust help file system navigates users through the tool set and provides coding examples further reducing development time.

Multi-sector technology (MST) combines the capabilities of both hardware and software to achieve parallel test efficiencies in excess of 99%. To deliver on this promise, both fast and efficient multisite program generation must be easily achievable. EV-MST software is built upon a multi-core PC and operating system that optimizes high-speed data communication to all sectors simultaneously. This means that site counts can be expanded proportionally with each additional sector thereby improving PTE and optimizing cost-of-test.

Applications

Pattern based testing software tools are essential to make pattern based programming as simple as possible. EV-MST waveform generation tools and editing tools incorporate range and force mode changes. These display tools show the relationship between analog and digital stimulus versus capture, providing a window into the settling performance for each measurement. Tools in the EV-MST software suite provide developers with a variety of means for analyzing the programmed stimulus while comparing actual results obtained both online and offline in standard test data format (STDF), comma separated format (CSV), and EV’s log format. EV software is written to operate the way test engineers want to work.
