  • Automatic test equipment control device
    Patent number: 8896333
    Abstract: A shutdown apparatus and method for use in conjunction with automatic test equipment (ATE) is provided. A unit under test (UUT) is inserted into an ATE receiver that couples the UUT to at least one electronic device during test and extracted from the ATE receiver after test. The shutdown apparatus comprises an electro-mechanical interface that inserts the UUT into the receiver prior to test and extracts the UUT from the receiver after test A shutdown module is coupled to the electronic device and to the electro-mechanical interface and connects the electronic device to the receiver after insertion of the UUT into the receiver and disconnects the electronic device from the receiver prior to extraction of the UUT from the receiver.
    Type: Grant

  • Automatic test equipment self test
    Patent number: 7936172
    Abstract: A self test adapter (STA) for automatic test equipment (ATE) is provided. The STA includes an enclosure. A backplane is housed by the enclosure. A dual data bus is integrated into the backplane. At least one STA card module is inserted into the backplane. The at least one STA card module has a port for interconnection with an ATE station receiver. The at least one STA card module includes a generic region adapted for interfacing with an additional STA card module over the dual data bus, and a resource specific region adapted for self test of at least one ATE station resource.
