  • Patent number: 11755440
    Abstract: A configuration device in a test and measurement system including an event generator and a Device Under Test (DUT) to receive one or more events generated by the event generator includes an output display structured to graphically illustrate a first event timeline that includes source event markers for a first test channel for a second test channel, in which the first event timeline and the second event timeline appear on the output display as separate timelines vertically separated from one another. The position of the event delay indicator or a position of the event width indicator may be movable by a user, and moving the position of the event delay indicator or moving the position of the event width indicator causes the event generator to change one or more event generation parameters of the first event based on such movement. Methods are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20230153989
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for automated inspection, an image is acquired of an object under inspection and a difference image is generated showing the difference between the acquired image and a reference image of a defect-free object of the same type. Characteristics of the difference image, or detected isolated regions of the difference image, are passed to an automated defect classifier to classify defects in the object under inspection. The characteristics of the difference image may be pixels of the difference image or features determined therefrom. The features may be extracted using a neural network, for example. The automated defect classifier is trained using difference images and may be further trained, in operation, based on operator classifications and using simulated images of defects identified by an operator.

  • Publication number: 20220381813
    Abstract: A safety container for high-power, electronic device testing, the safety container including a first shell and first and second ports in the first shell. The first shell is configured to substantially surround a testing chamber sized to accommodate a device-under-test (DUT). The first shell is substantially rigid. The first port is configured to allow a fluid into the testing chamber, the second port configured to allow the fluid to exit the testing chamber.

  • Publication number: 20220291278
    Abstract: A test and measurement system includes a power device having an interface to allow connection to one or more devices under test (DUTs), and one or more processors configured to execute code that, when executed, causes the one or more processors to receive a selection between static and dynamic characterization, and to configure the power device to perform the selected one of static or dynamic characterization of the one or more DUTs, a measurement device, having a user interface, one or more processors configured to execute code that, when executed, causes the one or more processors to: receive user inputs through the user interface, the user inputs including at least the selection between static and dynamic characterization, and send the selected one of static or dynamic characterization to the power device, and a connector to connect the power device to the measurement device.
