TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies Introduces Fastest, Easiest Way to Bring Power of In-Circuit Test to Production Lines.Agilent Medalist i3070 is Industry's Most Advanced, Flexible In-Circuit Test System for High-Complexity, High-Speed Printed Circuit Board Assemblies LOS ANGELES Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. -- 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. Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced the availability of the Agilent Medalist i3070 in-circuit test system for printed circuit board assembly. For electronics manufacturers around the world, this system is the fastest, easiest way to bring the power of in-circuit test to the production line. Advanced algorithms provide analog test throughput The speed with which a computer processes data. It is a combination of internal processing speed, peripheral speeds (I/O) and the efficiency of the operating system and other system software all working together. 1. increase by up to 50 percent compared with legacy Agilent Medalist 3070 systems. Simple graphical user interfaces graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to are designed to maximize ease-of-use for operators in the fast-paced high-volume manufacturing environment. The Agilent Medalist i3070 includes another industry first -- VTEP v2.0 vectorless test technology that incorporates the new Network Parameter (1) Any value passed to a program by the user or by another program in order to customize the program for a particular purpose. A parameter may be anything; for example, a file name, a coordinate, a range of values, a money amount or a code of some kind. Measurement technology targeted at defect detection on power and ground pins for connectors. For more information on VTEP v2.0, which is also being introduced today, see www.agilent.com/about/newsroom/presrel/2007/20feb-em07015.html. Power and ground pins have long been considered off limits to vectorless test because, by design, the power or ground pins are tied together, making an opening in a pin virtually undetectable in any of the currently available vectorless test solutions in the market. Agilent's VTEP v2.0 is the innovative solution to overcome this test limitation. "The Medalist i3070 enables our customers to develop 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. their programs quicker than before," said NK Chari, ICT (1) (Information and Communications Technology) An umbrella term for the information technology field.

"We've also made vast improvements on the throughput and have achieved unprecedented coverage with VTEP v2.0. We have pushed the boundaries on the most flexible and industry-leading in-circuit test platform, and are helping customers improve their time-to-market, reduce their cost and protect their investments." Both the new Medalist i3070 and VTEP v2.0 capabilities can be enabled on existing Medalist ICT systems with a simple software upgrade. Concurrently, to further protect the investment of existing Agilent Medalist 3070 and i5000 users, the new Medalist i3070 provides a high degree of compatibility with the legacy Agilent ICT systems, making it effortless ef·fort·less adj.
