Teradyne Integrates SEDana(TM) Data Analysis Tool from Salland Engineering with IG-XL(TM) Software.NORTH READING, Mass. -- Teradyne Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :TER Third version. See bis. ) announced an agreement with Salland Engineering to include a basic version of the SEDana(TM) Statistical Data Analysis tool with the Teradyne IG-XL(TM) software operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. environment. The addition of the SEDana tool provides users with a familiar, industry-proven test data analysis tool, further extending the capability of IG-XL software. "We chose to include Salland's basic SEDana analysis tool in IG-XL to benefit our customers," said John Arena, IG-XL Marketing Manager, Teradyne. "Including one of the industry's latest data consolidation and analysis tools helps improve time-to-market and time-to-yield. SEDana receives high marks from our customers and has been used for several years by Teradyne's Test Assistance Group (TAG)." The SEDana tool is a window into the manufacturing process. It provides a comprehensive suite of data analysis functions to assist test, product, and design engineers in evaluating device test response under varying conditions. This analysis enables optimal determination of test limits, device specifications, and product/process modifications to maximize production test yields and minimize test application development time. The basic version of the SEDana tool, SEDana Lite, is anticipated to be integrated into additional releases of IG-XL software for the FLEX(TM) Test Platform and the J750 Test System. Customers can purchase the full release by contacting Teradyne or Salland Engineering. The full release provides advanced statistical analysis, gage repeatability and reproducibility (to quantify Quantify - A performance analysis tool from Pure Software. error in measurement systems), scripting, and full report generation capabilities. "Salland has worked hard to develop SEDana as a first class solution and we are pleased to have SEDana technology included with Teradyne IG-XL software." said Paul van Ulsen, Salland Engineering Managing Director, 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. . "We have applied considerable resources to create a solution that makes test data analysis easy and efficient. By identifying market requirements and combining our experience in semiconductor test, we have developed an excellent data analysis tool."

About the J750 The Teradyne J750 high-throughput parallel test capability provides high multi-site test Multi-site test, or "multisite test", or "concurrent test", or "parallel test" are all semiconductor Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) terms that generally refer to testing of multiple "devices" at the same time. efficiency in a zero-footprint "tester in a test head" system that delivers up to 1,024 I/O channels See channel. . The J750 offers a suite of options, including the Converter (1) A device that changes one set of codes, modes, sequences or frequencies to a different set. See A/D converter. (2) A device that changes current from 60Hz to 50Hz and vice versa. Test Option, Memory Test Option, Redundancy Analysis, and Mixed Signal Option that broaden the range of test capabilities. The system also features IG-XL(TM) test software that combines the power and performance of the latest PC technology and Windows operating system with the familiarity of standard Windows(R) productivity tools, such as Microsoft Excel (tool) Microsoft Excel - A spreadsheet program from Microsoft, part of their Microsoft Office suite of productivity tools for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh. Excel is probably the most widely used spreadsheet in the world. Latest version: Excel 97, as of 1997-01-14. and Visual Basic(R). The J750's small footprint and high parallel test throughput provide the most economical approach to testing complex VLSI VLSI: see integrated circuit.

About FLEX The Teradyne FLEX Test Platform advances test technologies in a test architecture designed for high efficiency, multi-site test. The Platform offers multiple systems so customers can optimize for performance, capacity and capital cost to achieve lower cost-of-test. FLEX Platform systems span test requirements from DFT DFT - discrete Fourier transform and structural test to standard analog and mixed-signal to the latest high-integration System-on-a-Chip (SoC) and System-In-Package (SiP) devices for consumer, automotive, mass storage, wireless, and data communications data communications, application of telecommunications technology to the problem of transmitting data, especially to, from, or between computers. In popular usage, it is said that data communications make it possible for one computer to "talk" with another. applications. The FLEX Platform architecture delivers instrument synchronization (1) See synchronous and synchronous transmission. (2) Ensuring that two sets of data are always the same. See data synchronization. (3) Keeping time-of-day clocks in two devices set to the same time. See NTP. and control in device clock time on a vector-by-vector basis, even in multiple time domains. A Universal Slot test head design allows easy reconfiguration for changing test needs. The IG-XL software operating system provides fast program development, including instant conversion from single to multi-site test. And, the OpenFLEX(TM) open system architecture complements the FLEX Platform's broad set of high-density instrumentation, allowing focused instruments to be added and further enhance system performance and test economics.
