Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced that its 93000 SOC Series semiconductor test system received the first-ever Test of Time award from Test & Measurement World magazine at the Best in Test Product Awards ceremony held last month in Anaheim, Calif. The 93000 SOC Series conducts true parallel, multi-site, mixed-signal testing and offers the widest application coverage and test flexibility at the lowest overall cost of test. The award recognizes Agilent's impressive array of instrumentation and satisfied customers while building on its original, scalable platform architecture. The Best in Test awards are presented annually by the editors of Test & Measurement World to honor important and innovative new products and services in the electronics test and measurement industry. The Agilent 93000 SOC Series won a Best in Test award in 2000, following its release in 1999. The new Test of Time award acknowledges a product that continues to provide state-of-the-art performance at least five years after its introduction. "Test & Measurement World created the Test of Time award to complement its Best in Test and Test Engineer of the Year awards, helping to promote the electronics test industry and recognizing the people who make it a success," said Rick Nelson, chief editor of Test & Measurement World. "We are pleased to present the first Test of Time award to the 93000 SOC Series test system because of its market success and in honor of the entire Agilent team, which has posted a five-year record of ongoing technical innovation." "We are honored to receive this prestigious award from Test & Measurement World," said Tom Newsom, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Semiconductor Test Solution business. "Our vision in the beginning was to create a single, scalable tester-per-pin platform architecture to accommodate the combined analog and high-speed-logic test needs of emerging system on chips. We not only succeeded in that vision, but we have used the 93000 as a springboard to launch many new, exciting introductions. In fact, the last year has seen the strongest array of introductions in Agilent's automated au·to·mate v. au·to·mat·ed, au·to·mat·ing, au·to·mates v.tr. 1.
