ProgramGuard™ - Quality Assurance Software

ProgramGuard™ - Quality Assurance Software Description:

Test program Auditor flags any unauthorized changes to ATE programs.

With ProgramGuard for Spectrum Version 1.0, the user is able to compare two generated Spectrum ASCII files to catch eventual differences between them. These files are called ‘Source Program’ and ‘Target Program’. The first file is the ‘Golden’ file and plays the ‘master’ role and the second file plays the ‘slave’ role.

ProgramGuard is able to distinguish Sections, Steps and Pages inside both mentioned ASCII files. The sections listed in the ProgramGuard panel are those that taken from the master file.

After processing the two files and obtaining the results, the differences between the two files are displayed in the 'Results' box. The following differences are displayed when detected:

• Running Permission Status for all sections, steps and pages.
• Test vectors and digital patterns.
• Digital-analog test measurements.
• ‘COUNT’, ‘HIGH’ and ‘CRC’ values of digital sections.
• ‘High’ values and ‘Low’ values of passive and active devices.
• ‘Pin Type’ values in Frame Scan.

The ProgramGuard supervisor can update the master file with any differences displayed in the results box. This transaction can be saved as a formatted text report file.
