GuideTech Welcomes New President and CEO Frank McKiney.SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- GuideTech, the leading provider of high-throughput performance-gap-filling ATE solutions, today announced that industry veteran Frank McKiney has accepted the position of GuideTech's president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "As early as 2000, while still at Agilent (then Hewlett-Packard), I have followed GuideTech's progress entering the market to provide high-throughput precision timing and jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle solutions to the ATE industry since their first Femto 2000 installation on the Agilent 93000 for testing cell phone and graphics controller PLLs in production," stated Frank McKiney, GuideTech president and CEO. "I have been very impressed with the company's success in becoming the de facto standard Hardware or software that is widely used, but not endorsed by a standards organization. Contrast with de jure standard. de facto standard - A widespread consensus on a particular product or protocol which has not been ratified by any official standards body, such as ISO, precision timing solution in all the major fabless subcontract sub·con·tract n.

About GuideTech GuideTech is the leading innovator in high-performance CTIA-based timing measurement instruments, providing semiconductor manufacturers with the solution they need to minimize timing-related component failure and to dramatically reduce production test costs through test-time reduction and extended ATE lifecycles. GuideTech's unique CTIA (1) See CompTIA. (2) (Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association, Washington, DC, www.ctia.org, www.wow-com.com) A membership organization founded in 1984 that is involved with regulatory and public affairs issues in the wireless industry. Continuous Timing Interval Analyzer technology enables critical, high-speed, functional, timing and jitter test coverage for PLLs and multi-gigabit serial interfaces such as PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although sometimes abbreviated "PCX," PCI Express is not the same as "PCI-X" (see PCI-SIG and PCI-X for comparison). As a result of the confusion, "PCI-E" or "PCIe" is the accepted abbreviation. and Serial ATA See SATA. Serial ATA - Serial Advanced Technology Attachment , in milliseconds, in parallel, and in production. Headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA, the company is the first to deliver cost-effective, advanced timing measurement solutions that easily integrate onto any ATE platform.
