Testronics Model 406 Electronics & Software Upgrade for TESCON MDA & ICT

RICHARDSON, TEXAS -- Testronics announces advanced test capability and expanded fault coverage without the expense of re-fixturing.

Many times when product advancements do not continue to move forward, a good test system can quickly become obsolete. This lack of product development forces you to use a test system that suffers from poor fault coverage, absence of new capabilities, and limited technical support. Even simple things such as networking and datalogging are extremely difficult due to obsolete operating systems and slow PCs.

DebugTo further compound the problem, the investment over the years in fixtures makes the purchase of a new test system a very expensive alternative. Until now, to upgrade your test capability, you had to buy a new test system and replace all of the fixtures. In today’s tight economic environment, this is normally not an option. The reality is that you have been forced to compromise your test coverage as the capabilities of your test system have not kept up with the test requirements of today’s advanced products.

Testronics, one of the global leaders in advanced In-Circuit Test Systems has developed a cost effective upgrade for the Tescon MDA / ICT test systems. The upgrade from Testronics replaces only the Tescon electronics and PC. The Tescon press and fixtures continue to be used. Also included in the upgrade is a software utility that converts the existing Tescon test programs into the more advanced Testronics format.

By replacing only the Tescon electronics and PC, increased fault coverage can be achieved without the expense of re-fixturing. 

Primary advantages of the Testronics Upgrade: 

  • Immediate increase in fault coverage due to the Testronics “vectorless” I/C junction testing algorithms
  • Very fast Pentium based PC with Windows ’98 operating system
  • Current production system with free software updates
  • Open architecture test system versus closed architecture

Additional advantages of the Testronics Upgrade:

  • Networking via Microsoft Windows ‘98
  • Easy integration of external IEEE 488 / GPIB instruments
  • Supports Dual Stage fixturing for functional applications
  • Ability to run external .exe function calls
  • Agilent TestJet hardware option
  • Ability to integrate 3rd party Boundary Scan and Flash Programming
  • Supports test pin counts from 64 test points to 61,440 test points
  • Conditional branching within the test program for advanced program flow
