Teradyne Demonstrates Advanced In-Circuit Test and Automated X-Ray Inspection Systems at NEPCON China.- New state-of-the-art PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. test equipment on display at stand 4F18 NORTH READING, Mass. -- Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :TER Third version. See bis. ), the industry's leading manufacturer of in-circuit PCB test systems and maker of automated x-ray inspection Automated x-ray inspection (AXI) is a technology based on the same principles as automated optical inspection. It uses x-rays as its source, instead of visible light, to automatically inspect features, which are typically hidden from view. equipment, today announced new equipment demonstrations at NEPCON China in Shanghai starting April 24, 2007 at stand #4F18. Equipment demonstrations include Teradyne's new UltraPin II 121 analog and digital pin tester cards for TestStation[TM], new 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. Pro software that improves time-to-market through more efficient development, and the XStation MX 3D X-Ray inspection system based on ClearVue[TM] technology. UltraPin II 121 Analog and Digital Pin Cards Teradyne's new non-multiplexed analog and digital UltraPin II 121 pin cards are designed to extend TestStation's scalability from cost effective MDA (1) (Monochrome Display Adapter) The first IBM PC monochrome video display standard for text. Due to its lack of graphics, MDA cards were often replaced with Hercules cards, which provided both text and graphics. See PC display modes and Hercules Graphics. (analog only) applications to the highest-performing digital in-circuit test (ICT (1) (Information and Communications Technology) An umbrella term for the information technology field. See IT. (2) (International Computers and Tabulators) See ICL. 1. (testing) ICT - In Circuit Test. ) available. Their unique functionality enables unrestricted pin assignments for both analog and digital test applications and gives users greater flexibility when programming driver/sensor logic levels, sense thresholds, slew rates and backdrive limits. The UltraPin II 121 pin boards lower the entry price point of pure-pin test configurations with ultra-low voltage and SafeTest[TM] capabilities by more than 30%. Debug Pro Test Programming and Debug Software TestStation users will benefit from Debug Pro, featuring a more intuitive graphical user interface 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 and providing users with more comprehensive tools, simplified commands and operational displays for faster, easier debugging (programming) debugging - The process of attempting to determine the cause of the symptoms of malfunctions in a program or other system. These symptoms may be detected during testing or use by real users. and qualifying in-circuit test programs. XStation MX Automated X-Ray Inspection System Using ClearVue technology, a patented off-center Tomosynthesis 3D image capture technique, XStation MX delivers the industry's highest resolution images to more reliably detect and diagnose PCB defects. XStation MX uses a stationary X-Ray source and detector and, unlike conventional 3D X-Ray inspection systems, does not require complex or rotating mechanical parts. Its new capabilities can significantly lower false call rates, reduce programming times, increase reliability, and improve repeatability. About TestStation Teradyne's TestStation family of high-performance in-circuit test systems provides high-volume electronics manufacturers with the industry's safest, most reliable and accurate test capabilities. Configurable from 256 to 7,680 test pins and designed to handle the latest PCB technologies, TestStation is also the most scaleable in-circuit test solution on the market. About Teradyne, Inc.
