HCATS Test System

The Hyper Custom ATS (HCATS) is an economical, Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS), flexible test system based on our proven open architecture of commercial equipment and modular system design principles. Its primary use is as Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), either through test programming languages or by the use of the latest object-oriented graphical programming interfaces. The packaging allows for easy access to all of the modules and provides room for expansion. The interface provides over 200 universal analog test points, 192 dynamic digital test points, 64 static digital test points, and an impedance-matched integrated instrument backplane to reduce the number and complexity of ITAs.

State-of-the-Art-Technology
The HCATS features PXI, VXI, LXI and IP modular technologies to provide the required testing capabilities in a compact workstation.

High Speed Dynamic Digital
The I/O pins are per clock bi-directional and operate at up to 50 MHz. 1Meg of memory are behind each pin, which can be run continuously or in segments for multiple tests. LASAR Post Processing, fault dictionaries and guided probe capabilities are included.

Multiple Programmable DC and variable DC Power Supplies
The power system is a designed to meet the challenges of high tech ATE. This specific group is designed to meet the needs of the Comet and DTS70 Unit Under Test requirements provided.

Operating Environment
The standard operating environment is Windows™. The software package installed is TCASE, which encompasses all of the runtime system software. The typical environment includes software libraries to execute TBasic test programs and numerous ATS operation and maintenance utilities. Included also are runtime engines for national instruments VISA, Labview and Labwindows and supports IVI compliant OEM objects. 

Measurement Capability to 330 MHz
Dedicated RF channels are used to route signals of up to 3 GHz to the analog bus; however, instrument measurement capability in the standard configuration is to 330 MHz.
