The S790VXI test system incorporates a modular design, enabling the system configuration to be tailored to users requirements.

The base configuration consists of a test head, which may be set to one of four tilt angles, accommodating up to 448 Universal Pins or 1792 Universal 8:7:1 Flexpins. For optimum flexibility, each individual pin may utilize any of the test techniques and the Universal and FLEXPINS™ modules may be freely intermixed to custom requirements.

All universal pins can be individually programmable for voltage levels, current levels, rise times, and termination, with software up-gradable pattern rates of up to 40 MHz. Digital activity may be synchronized to external clocks running at speeds up to 80 MHz.

Software Technology is key to a test system’s effectiveness.

Our powerful Computer Aided Test Engineering (CATETM ) software is at the heart of the S790VXI, providing an icon based object-orientated interactive graphical environment. CATE provides a highly efficient and effective set of test program development and diagnostic tools.
Software tools are designed to support the use of clusters to simplify verification. Cluster test programs can be combined to produce a complete diagnostics test program that combines all the advantages of the various test techniques that could be used- functional, in-circuit, boundary scan, mixed signal, bus emulation etc..

The S790VXI’s exceptional fast fault isolation speed and accuracy is derived through ANALYST’s expert diagnostic algorithms. ANALYST co-ordinates the diagnostic activities, gathering data on failing units, directing probing activities, collecting in-circuit failure information and finally analyzing all the data to accurately pin-point the fault.

Many powerful packages are employed within ANALYST. The Statistical Fault Dictionary goes beyond a normal fault dictionary by taking into account the possibilities caused by unknown states. Context-Dependent Probing reduces probing time by minimizing the number of probe operations needed to locate a fault and LOCATOR assists by visually guiding the operator to the correct probe location
Working throughout the system VALIDATOR software ensures test engineers only perform valid tasks, avoiding programming errors and delays.

Furthermore, the test system automatically takes care of all the software management tasks through the PROCESS MANAGER.

Upward compatibility has been designed into the S790VXI where hardware configurations enable re-usability of existing S720 / S730 / S750 / S770/ S790 test programs and test fixtures. This ensures that existing customers can begin to use the S790VXI without compromising their investments in test programs and test fixtures. In addition, off-line CATE workstations can be employed to generate S700 test programs.
