ATE Toolbox
Metroltek is pleased to announce the ATE Toolbox, a collection of LabVIEW VIs organized in a project to perform advanced tasks for automatic test applications. The functionality categories include:
- Data Visualization: Correlation, Histogram, Pareto Chart, Percentile Plot, Run Plot
- Metrology: Measurement Uncertainty, Type 1 Gage Study, Step Interpolation to correct measurements in real time
- Test Control: Input Adjuster to adjust input stimulus in linear or binary steps, Settling Detector to monitor settling status
The Run Plot shown above is an example Data Visualization tool. Individual data points are taken from a run, a life test for example, and out-of-control points or trends are detected.
The Input Adjuster results shown above adjusts an input stimulus to achieve a target output result. In this example a Binary Search method is used. A Linear Search option is also provided, but it generally takes much longer due to many more steps.
The Type 1 Gage Study example shown above provides metrics to assess instrument capability in light of a standard Reference and stated specification limits of the instrument. The study results are instrument metrics Cg and Cgk, similar to product Cp and Cpk but applicable to test instruments.
The Settling Detector example shown above provides a VI to monitor the signal from a slower moving signal (msec and above) and indicates when the signal has settled based on user specifications of pp and sample interval size. Another signal example type is an exponential.
The ATE Toolbox Reporter is a Windows application provided with the ATE Toolbox that lets the user create Excel report directly from a reporting tool, such as Histogram as shown above. This application eliminates the need to have the LabVIEW Excel Report Generation toolkit installed. Instead, this functionality is provided within the ATE Toolbox Reporter when a report is requested by one of the ATE Toolbox VIs that produce reports. Other capabilities are provided that include merging reports into other workbooks and performing other instrument or product analysis.
