) system that delivers the fastest time-to-money ratio for printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) through new software and tester-per-pin architecture. The Agilent Medalist i5000 provides broad test functionality in modular, scalable configurations, allowing the highest degree of operational flexibility in the ICT industry. This flexibility is vital to electronic manufacturers who need to quickly and accurately verify the quality of their PCBAs.

The Medalist i5000 system is easy to operate and deploy, even with limited ICT experience. The automated test development software and a new non-multiplexed tester-per-pin architecture provide electronic manufacturers with a solution that accelerates test and fixture development while greatly simplifying engineering change orders. All tests are transportable, stable and repeatable and can be moved from tester to tester, line to line or site to site with no impact on the quality of test.

Agilent works with partner organizations worldwide to deliver support, service, sales and parts replacements, maximizing system uptime and return on investment, and ensuring that assistance is available when and where it's needed.

The Agilent Medalist family combines the industry's largest selection of test and inspection technologies with Agilent's global support, technical resources and extensive knowledge assets. Together, these attributes form the most complete test and inspection solution in the industry, allowing response to ever-changing business conditions and success in a competitive world.
