Engineers turn to automated test equipment to save time
With engineers rushing tests in order to hit tight product deadlines, the market for test equipment that automatically detects faults in semiconductors and other components is growing. Setting aside time for testing has been a struggle for electrical engineers. The shrinking size – and increasing complexity – of semiconductor circuits is not making life any […]

Semiconductor Testing
Automated test equipment (ATE) is a computer-controlled test and measurement equipment that allows for testing with minimal human interaction. The tested devices are referred to as a device under test (DUT). The advantages of this kind of testing include reducing testing time, repeatability, and cost-efficiency in high volume. The chief disadvantages are the upfront costs […]
WHAT IS RS-232, WHAT IS RS-422, AND WHAT IS RS-485?
RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 are serial connections which can be found in various consumer electronics devices. Namely, RS-232 (ANSI/EIA-232 Standard) is the serial connection which can be historically found on IBM-compatible PCs. It is employed in many different scenarios and for many purposes, such as connecting a mouse, a printer, or a modem, as well […]
HOW STACK MACHINES MEET THE NEEDS OF VARIOUS SYSTEMS
There are various characteristics which need to be met in order for these machines to be suitable and to be fully and successfully implemented into real time systems. These characteristics are as follows: size and weight, power and cooling, operating environment, cost and performance. Size and Weight It has been observed that stack computers are […]
AUTOMATION TO REPLACE HUMAN HANDS?
As we move deeper into the technologically advanced methodologies and manufacturing processes, we realize the power of the human mind. The mind which has developed a new league of technical procedures which have made our lives easy and working easier. Manual labor is on the way to extinction in a few years from now, thanks […]
3 REASONS TO AUTOMATE YOUR BUSINESS
Let’s accept the fact that with every technological development that takes place, it’s major focus is improved efficiency, cost cutting and better output. This is the major reason we are focused on the implementation of latest solutions for our businesses. An increasingly popular term that we come across is automation. And rightly so, it is […]
REAL-TIME PROCESSOR
An industrial 400 MHz Freescale MPC5200 processor that deterministically acquires one’s LabVIEW Real-Time applications on the reliable Wind River VxWorks real-time operating system features the CompactRIO installed the system. Built-in operations for transferring data between the real-time processor within the CompactRIO embedded system and the FPGA are available in LabVIEW. One can pick from more […]
COMPACTRIO SCAN MODE TUTORIAL
This section will teach a person how to create a basic control application on CompactRIO using scan mode. One should see the LabVIEW FPGA Tutorial if the choice is to use the LabVIEW FPGA Interface. One should then have a new LabVIEW Project that consists of the existing CompactRIO system, including the controller, C Series […]
SIMPLE WIRING OF CLOCK AND TRIGGER
One last part of “non-standard” information obtaining and control frameworks is the manner by which bigger frameworks are synchronized. Regularly, it is important that you know “what” happened, as well as “when” it happened. In little frameworks, this is normally simple to fulfill as the simple sources of info and even the yield excitation, are […]
