Agilent Technologies Demonstrates Automatic Test Program Generator, Powered by IMS Virtual Test, At SEMICON Europa.Business/High-Tech Editors BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 2001 Agilent Technologies This article needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. this week demonstrated their new SmarTest Program Generator See application generator. (TM) at SEMICON SEMICON Semiconductors Equipment and Material International Conference Europa. The Agilent SmarTest PG incorporates virtual test technology provided by Integrated Measurement Systems (Nasdaq:IMSC IMSC Integrated Media Systems Center (University of Southern California) IMSC Information Management Steering Committee IMSC International Mobile Satellite Conference IMSC Interworking Mobile Switching Center ), a recognized leader of design-to-test productivity tools. The solution, expected to lower the overall cost of test, is in step with Agilent's goal to bridge the gap between electronic design (EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. ) test software and automatic test equipment (ATE) hardware. Agilent's SmarTest PG is an automatic test development and debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. environment that provides fully automatic generation of Agilent 93000 test programs. As an extension of the Agilent 93000's operating system, SmarTest PG software now provides a bi-directional link from the EDA domain to the test system. The product is expected to begin shipping in June.
