Some general rules and approaches, when used with an analysis of the total test requirement, can often substantially reduce test time. New programming environments and new (to test equipment) interface standards such as Ethernet, when available, may provide significant throughput improvement in a test system. Agilent's recent work with manufacturers in the wireless industry has helped validate a variety of approaches to optimize test throughput for transceiver manufacturing. We have found that very significant gains can be realized from only a modest investment. This paper describes successful practices and techniques for optimizing test throughput, and gives specific quantitative examples of the improvements that have been achieved.","PeriodicalId":372875,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings, IEEE AUTOTESTCON","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115750202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problem can be solved optimally using dynamic programming or AND/OR graph search methods (AO*, CF and HS). However, for large systems, the associated computation with dynamic programming or AND/OR graph search methods is substantial, due to the rapidly increasing number of OR nodes (denoting ambiguity states) and AND nodes (denoting tests) in the search graph. In order to overcome the computational explosion, the one-step or multi-step lookahead heuristic algorithms have been developed to solve the test sequencing problem. In this paper, we propose to apply rollout strategies, which can be combined with the one-step or multi-step lookahead heuristic algorithms to obtain near-optimal solutions in a computationally efficient manner than the optimal strategies. The rollout strategies are illustrated and tested using a range of real-world systems. We show computational results, which suggest that the information-heuristic based rollout policies are significantly better than other rollout policies based on Huffman coding and entropy.","PeriodicalId":372875,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings, IEEE AUTOTESTCON","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127010329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The test equipment used to accomplish the comparison is comprised of four basic elements. These include a QWIP radiometer, a blackbody source with 0.6 cycles/mrad 7:1 aspect ratio four bar target, an infrared scene projector, and video frame capture electronics and analysis software. The video from the radiometer of each source is used as a means of comparing and contrasting the relative performance of an etched target in front of a conventional extended blackbody source and a resistive array source. The infrared image from each source is captured by the radiometer, digitized, and subsequently analyzed. Characteristics from the digitized imagery such as uniformity and intensity modulation of the 4 bar pattern and background are used as objective measures to assess the relative performance between the two approaches.","PeriodicalId":372875,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings, IEEE AUTOTESTCON","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124901644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This philosophy permits frequent reuse of the hardware elements (processors, A/Ds, D/As, signal conditioners and switches) when commanding different instrument functions. Substantially lower purchase and life cycle costs are therefore achieved. This paper describes the status of Honeywell's RF Measurement Synthetic Instrumentation, developed to meet the needs of both flightline test and Intermediate/depot testers (e.g. CASS). The functions developed included: spectrum analyzer, microwave transition analyzer, frequency/time interval counter, waveform digitizer, power meter and digital multimeter. Performance is competitive with standalone instruments. Honeywell's previous development work and our current Measurement Hardware Emulator (MHE) results show that Synthetic Instrumentation is sufficiently mature to: (1) be included in service life extension programs of legacy ATE, (2) be inserted in current ATE such as CASS, and (3) become the basis of next generation ATE architecture, such as NxTest.","PeriodicalId":372875,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings, IEEE AUTOTESTCON","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125092148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One member of this family, the IEEE P1451.4 standard, defines a mixed-mode interface that combines that traditional analog sensor signal with a digital interface that enables self-identification of the sensor for plug and play operation. This self-identification is provided by a transducer electronic data sheet (TEDS) that is stored within the transducer. In addition to explaining the components and mechanisms of IEEE P1451.4, the paper describes the implication of plug and play sensors for test and measurement systems. The paper also documents an example implementation of a computer-based data acquisition system that exploits the plug and play sensor concept.","PeriodicalId":372875,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings, IEEE AUTOTESTCON","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126334455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These days, due to the chip complexity following Moore's Law, testing is getting more difficult and more important. As a result, testing-related cost increases dramatically. To solve this problem, the concept of DFT was suggested, and there are several DFT methods. But, these DFT methods require some additional circuits and a little more complex register than an original register. This area overhead causes more production cost and fewer yields. Other problems occurred while implementing DFT, are performance degradation, EDA tool cost, increase of pin number, etc. Thus, it is very hard to decide which DFT method is most suitable. Optimization technique can be used to find the cost-effective test method if we have all cost models. But, defining cost models is very difficult. Some parameters of the cost models are not available yet because we need DFT selection sometimes before even a real design starts. Thus, we suggest using logical decision analysis to find cost-effective DFT methods. In this method, developing cost models is not needed.","PeriodicalId":372875,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings, IEEE AUTOTESTCON","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116436975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NFFs have plagued the avionics test and repair environment for years at enormous cost to readiness and logistics support. The costs in terms of depot repair and user exchange dollars that are wasted annually for unresolved cases are graphically illustrated. A diagnostic data model is presented, which automatically captures, archives and statistically processes test parameters and failure results which are then used to determine if an NFF at the next testing level resulted from a test anomaly. The model includes statistical process methods, which produce historical trend patterns for each part and serial numbered unit tested. An Expert System is used to detect statistical pattern changes and stores that information in a knowledge base. A Decision Support System (DSS) provides advisories for engineers and technicians by combining the statistical test pattern with unit performance changes in the knowledge base. Examples of specific F-16 NFF reduction results are provided.","PeriodicalId":372875,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings, IEEE AUTOTESTCON","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134230792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
