"DUT Site Signals" offers a for the parallel test optimized virtualization. For each test site, a stimulation and measurement instrument is defined. (Site1: DMM1, Site2: DMM2,…) Programming is done on freely definable virtual instruments. Data handling is done within Tecap and you do not have to program any loops. The test projects are fully scalable.

"Multiplex Signals" allows, to define one or several channels to one keyword, e.g. several analog input channels to the virtual channel "ALL_IN".

Both methods allow human readable code, which has a clear reference to the DUT.

• Listing of all defined signals

Tecap is designed for parallel test. Thorugh virtualization instruments can be configured to the corresponding DUT. The wiring creates the concrete hardware reference.

Under ideal conditions, the project can be scaled from single site to multi site parallel test without touching the source code.

• Site definition for parallel test
• Simple De/activation of active DUTs

Endpoints are a component of the system connection setup. Every single connection can get a user defined name. This enhances the software reference to the DUT and the tracebility through the system.

• Naming by pin
• Description fields for documentaion
• Site definition for parallel test
• Signal isolation

All wire connections are defined within Tecap. Cable connections, pcb track, however your system components and DUT is connected to each other – Tecap knows the connections and routes from pin to pin.

• System connection base
• Pin-to-pin connection for the whole test setup
• Automatic system connection documentation
• DUT integration

Routes describe the ways through the test system. Regardless of which type of instrumentation is used, routes along the cards will switch relais, digital outs, multiplexers, and so on.

• Routes for switching
• Switching by logical names
• Any amount of switch elements per route
• Predefined static routes
• Dynamic routes, which are calculated at runtime
• Short circuit detection

If a predefined route is favored, you can also use static routes instead of the autorouter.

• Automatic route finder will suggest a route
• Clone and part replacement of existing route segments

All prior definded configuration elements configure:

• Solution
• Test Plan Sequence
• Test Program
• Test System
• Data Logger
• Factory Integration

to one unit.

Configurable data logger can be attached per Variant. Independently from if you want to store into a databse or into the file system, Tecap does this job for you.

By this means, different profiles for development and evalutation can be used, than for mass production.

The test program itself contains no datalogging related source code.

• Open data logging interface
• Data logger are attached by configuration
• Several data logging profiles per project and by that differently useable per sequence variant

Every project can have its own Factory Integration.

Factory Integration contains the handling of the DUTS. Independently from handling manually by an operator, partly automated with a feed or fully automated with a robot, handler or prober. Additional information about the test rig (Touch downs, SPS status, …) can be shown.
