Tracer 2000 Functional Test System

Tracer 2000 Functional Test System Description:

Acculogic offers commercial functional test systems for a broad range of manufacturing test applications, including automotive and military-aerospace. Designed for production testing, our solutions are optimized for throughput, reliability, repeatability, and cost.

Functional test systems feature a scalable architecture and are designed to meet a wide range of requirements, such as:

• High speed analog & digital functional test - VXI, PXI, and GPIB based instrumentation
• High speed digital test pattern generation, acquisition, and analysis
• Visual C/C++ and Windows CVI software development
• Boundary Scan (JTAG IEEE1149.1) test integration
• On-board Flash and other non-volatile device programming
• In-system programming (ISP) of PLD, CPLD, etc.
• Full turnkey fixture design and integration service

Tester availability

Intuitive graphical user interfaces together with comprehensive documentation allow operators to start production within hours after commissioning. Self-test routines and detailed documentation also allow fast and efficient maintenance of the equipment by customer personnel. Ultimately these factors translate into longer MTBF, shorter MTTR, and therefore high equipment availability at low cost.
Tester design

Software

Tester software is developed using LabWindows CVI™, Labview™, Visual C/C++, Visual Basic, and where appropriate, a combination of programming languages is utilized to develop the graphic user interface (GUI) and the tests. In addition to managing various user interface in test development applications, software routines are employed mainly to initialize instruments, set triggers, and configure instruments for proper stimulus, capture, and measurement modes. Finally individual tests are assimilated into a test sequence using a test executive software.

Hardware

Systems can be configured with VXI, PXI, GPIB, serial port, and PC based instrumentation to meet technical and budgetary requirements. Tester-fixture interfaces are chosen from among historically tried and proven solutions. Depending on the project requirements, customers may choose MacPanel™, Virginia Panel™, VG2271™ style, or custom fixture interfaces which can be developed with commercial or military connectors and suitable wire harnesses. The fixtures will be easy to use, and will guarantee low noise, and quick change over.

Self-test and tester diagnostics

All systems are supplied with self-test/self diagnostic capabilities and the documentation is provided in both paper and soft copy.

Documentation

Functional test systems are delivered with complete documentation facilitating rapid deployment and maintenance of the equipment.

Installation, Training and Technical Support

Acculogic functional test systems are delivered as true turnkey solutions. Training on system operation and maintenance is provided during installation and commissioning. Our application engineering group supports the systems during warranty period. Long-term maintenance contracts are also available for life cycle system support.
