Introbotics Softwareimage

 

 

The CI1000™, HFT-1500, and ACCU-Prober™ come with 1 license each of the following software:

 
WaveForm Viewer
HFT Report Writer
HFT Cam Importer

 

 

WaveForm Viewer image

The WaveForm Viewer™ is a software package from Introbotics for both the ACCU-Prober™ and the CI1000™ that allows graphic viewing of the testing results of each controlled impedance trace. Viewer features are:

Allows easy selection of impedance measurement zone.
Dynamically recalculates impedance for each selected measurement zone.
Displays controlled impedance, propagation delay, and dielectric constant information for each trace.
Displays end and midpoint VIA affects.
Dynamic cursor provides readout of impedance along entire trace.
Creates printouts for documentation purposes.
 

TDR waveforms can be captured for each test point, viewed off-line, and sent electronically to your engineers or customers. The Waveform Viewer™ allows easy selection of the impedance measurement zone and dynamically recalculates impedance for each selected zone. The Viewer displays controlled impedance, propagation delay, and dielectric constant information for each trace. End and midpoint VIA affects are displayed and a dynamic cursor provides readouts of impedance along the entire trace. Printouts can be produced for documentation purposes.

HFT Report Writer image

The HFT Report Writer™ is designed to produce a customize report of all the numerical controlled impedance test data and to generate histograms. The Writer also provides the capability to generate an “Out of Center” report with programmable conditions against any data set. The HFT Report Writer™ provides a way to customize a query of the CI1000™, HFT-1500, or ACCU-Prober™ database to extract only the test results you need regardless of when or for whom the test data was taken. The Writer also allows you to sort the data results by board serial number (for pass/fail reports) and by test point (for statistical analysis). You can then select only the data you want to appear on the test report (mean impedance, prop delay, effective Er, Equivalent Trace Bandwidth, etc.) including statistical data calculations.

HFT Cam Importer
image

The CI1000™, HFT-1500, and the ACCU-Prober™ supports the importation of CAM files to define the test specifications and job information of products to be tested. The Introbotics formatted CSV file contains the information necessary to test product on a tester including X,Y locations, Test Point names, min/max expected impedance values, job number, etc.

The “HFT Cam Importer” program has the following capabilities:

  • Imports the CAM data file into testers.
  • Runs detailed syntax checking on CAM files to ensure data quality
  • Finds the closes reference node (ground or power pin) and associates it with the desired test point to assemble the necessary set of probe points on the board
  • Eliminates duplicate nets during the importation
  • Optimizes the robotic movement in determining test point order.
  • Optimizes the set of robotic probes needed to probe a board (e.g., reduces needed probe set to 40mil, 75mil and 100mil probes only)
  • Allows the user to define the acceptable tolerance between the probe pitch and test point-to-reference pin pitch
  • Provides graphic image of imported test points, reference pins, and fiducials.
  • Provides an archive file of file imported data set.
