Abstract: A drag-and-drop workflow editor in an Automated Test Equipment (ATE) environment to create coherent time domain aligned test programs. This includes graphical interface channel diagrams with channel headers, channel timelines, designer items defining test operations, measurement references and trigger references to define temporal relationships in a time domain environment.

Abstract: The system includes an ATE which produces a plurality of test signals and test results for electronic devices by a test instrument or instruments therein. An execution engine responsive to the test results runs multiple test operations from the test instruments within a coherent time domain and maintains a temporal relationship between the multiple test results. The multiple test signals and test results are then displayed in a time coherent alignment.

Abstract: The system includes an integrated sequenced arrangement of parametric type instruments, automated guided prober test instruments, and a test instrument system using analog signature analysis for identifying faults in circuit card assemblies, under control of a software system with a mass interconnect system.

Abstract: A system and method for testing electronic circuit devices. The system has a central processing unit with a plurality of separate core processing units. The utility service program is initiated at the startup of the computer program which acts as an intermediary between user applications and the computer operating system. The utility service is responsive to an ATE execution engine to set an affinity for one or more processing cores for exclusive use for the ATE execution engine. The ATE execution engine communicates with the utility service to reserve one or more processing cores for execution of the program for testing electronic devices.
