Digitaltest at Nepcon Shanghai 2006, April 4th to 7th, 2006, Booth E1 B02


Shanghai, March 2006 - Digitaltest GmbH is a worldwide leader in advanced hardware and software testing solutions for electronics manufacturers, and, as a truly global supplier, Digitaltest offers customers a worldwide network of field service, parts service, applications support and training. Exhibiting with its distributor, Wacky International (Booth number E1 B02), Digitaltest will showcase the following test systems and software, perfectly suited for any Asian electronics manufacturing needs:

MTS 300 SIGMA In-Circuit Tester

This system has been designed by Digitaltest to meet the demands of modern manufacturing - flexibility, high fault coverage and easy programming. Flexibility is guaranteed by the combination of its modular design and its comprehensive range of test methods. This modular design allows the MTS300 SIGMA to be optimally configured for current needs without limiting the possibilities of future expansion. Future changes to individual test methods, as well as to the number of test pins, can be easily performed with the MTS300 SIGMA. The range of test techniques incorporates analog and digital in-circuit test capabilities, vectorless testing, functional test, Boundary-Scan (optional) and on-board programming. The system is also one of the fastest machines on the market - its capacity for 1000 measurements/sec making it ideal for high volume applications.

Due to the non-multiplexed system structure, the MTS300 is able to emulate existing test programs and fixtures from other platforms like Aeroflex (Marconi) GenRad, Teradyne, Agilent (HP), Rohde & Schwarz. This ability to exchange programs and fixtures with other test manufacturers' systems effectively makes the MTS300 a 'neutral platform', which can save both time and money.

The MTS300 can also be integrated into a handling system. The handling system offers enough space for the MTS300 tester rack plus additional space for IEEE or VXI instruments. The press system, driven by a servomotor, allows double-sided fixturing and dual level for both ICT and functional test. Short wire connections guarantee signal integrity and quality.

MTS 180 In-Circuit Tester

The MTS 180 is Digitaltest's economical solution for high volume production. Equipped with a Press Down Unit and a combination of analog and hybrid in-circuit test pins, the MTS180 occupies a unique place in the market. Furthermore, the tester can be equipped with functional test modules to provide higher fault coverage and satisfy the test requirements of a vast number of customers. The economics of the tester are not limited to the initial cost. For example, the press-down fixturing solution dramatically reduces the costs of test fixtures. Users can create the most complex fixtures with features such as double-sided board access, OpensCheck probes from both sides, etc. - all at reasonable costs that are far below vacuum fixture costs. The system can be equipped with up to 1400 analog or 1400 hybrid pins.

C-LINK DTM, CITE & QMAN Software

C-LINK DTM allows fast test program development directly from CAD data and parts-lists. With 64 CAD interfaces, Digitaltest is leading this area of CAD software links. The unique Design Change interface allows customers to identify the differences from two designs and shows the changes in the fixture and test program in a simple chart. , Panels and different versions of PCBs are supported by the CITE Off-line simulation software, which simulates the tests available. These can include in-circuit and functional test, opens check, memory test/and programming, boundary-scan and vision. The unique implementation of boundary-scan allows the heads and further pins to be driven parallel to boundary-scan, which enables an increase in test coverage while reducing test time. When employed in a Digitaltest flying probe tester, the net test method ensures a 3 to 5 times higher throughput in production over conventional flying probe systems. The software is complimented with an integrated quality management tool, QMAN.

New Boundary-Scan Solution

In partnership with G-PEL electronics, world-class vendor of IEEE-Std. 1149.x compliant JTAG/Boundary-Scan solutions, Digitaltest is pleased to announce the launch of the next generation Boundary-Scan option for the Digitaltest In-Circuit Tester series MTS 180, MTS 300, and MTS 888. The solution is based on a complete integration of the recently launched hardware architecture SCANFLEX® in combination with the Boundary-Scan system software CASCON GALAXY®, and also involves the ICT digital pin electronics.
