diagnosis and yield analysis. Specific
Tessent products include MemoryBIST,
LogicBIST, TestKompress (for compression and ATPG), MissionMode (for
on-chip mission mode control), and
ScanPro (for inserting scan, test points,
OCC, and wrapper chains). In addition,
Tessent Diagnosis supports scan diagnosis, Tessent IJTAG supports universal
access based on IEEE 1687 standard, and
Tessent Connect supports optimal implementation flow and automation.
"Tessent's DFT flow is the industry's
only production-proven hierarchical solution that enables the customer to fully
automate their core-level DFT tasks, as
well as all top-level logic and core interactions," Jahangiri added.
Several companies outlined their software support for their modular hardware.
Piotrowski at Ikonix said, "We have our
proprietary Autoware 3 software for test
and instrument control, test creation,
and data collection. It allows the user to

connect and control our instruments and
SC6549 scanners for a completely automated test system."
Semancik at MTS said, "ATEasy is a
comprehensive test executive and a rapid
application development framework for
functional test, ATE, data acquisition,
process control, and instrumentation
systems with exceptional cybersecurity
protection and controls. ATEasy provides
all the necessary tools to develop, deploy,
and maintain software components-including instrument drivers, test programs,
and user interfaces-as well as a complete
and customizable test executive." He added, "For OEM suppliers of test systems,
ATEasy-Lite offers a cost-effective, fullfeatured test executive and test development software suite that can be bundled
with the suppliers' ATE systems."
Shaw at DTS commented, "DTS offers
standalone test setup, control, and data
logging software that is purpose-built
for dynamic, embedded applications that

require rugged modular data acquisition.
Our software is designed to work out of the
box with modular DTS data-acquisition
hardware. For applications that require
integration with other modular architectures, we provide an API that can be called
from most popular languages used in test
such as C/C++/C#, LabVIEW, and Matlab."
"VTI includes a full suite of industry standard IVI drivers for use in the
most common application development environments, such as LABVIEW,
LabWindows/CVI, C++, and Visual Basic,"
said Gibson. "In addition, the operating
system-independent drivers will operate
in both the Windows environment and
the Linux environment." He added that
both the LXI and PXIe platforms have an
embedded web browser and graphical
user interface (GUI), and The LXI platform
has a turnkey test package called EXLab,
which allows engineers to design a mixedsignal, distributed measurement system
without any coding.
