| The BRAT Test System |
|
The Benchtop Reconfigurable Automatic Tester (BRAT) is an economical Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS), flexible test system, based on an open architecture of commercial equipment in a modular design. 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 environments. The physical Benchtop Reconfigurable assembly allows easy access to all of the modules as well as room for expansion/reconfiguring, and makes transporting simple. The interface provides over 400 universal analog test points, 192 dynamic digital test points, 32 static digital test points, and 20 two-wire, 50 Ohm dedicated RF paths, reducing the number and complexity of ITAs.

| State-of-the-Art-Technology The BRAT features VXI instrument-on-a-card and modular technologies to provide complex testing capabilities in a compact workstation. |
| High Speed Dynamic Digital The timing control lines operate at up to 160 MHz while the I/O pins operate at up to 20 MHz. 64K of memory are behind each pin, which can be run continuously or in segments for multiple tests. |
| Multiple Programmable DC and AC Power Supplies The power system is a reconfigurable precision power subsystem designed to meet the challenges of high tech ATE. |
| Operating Environment The standard operating environment is Windows(tm). The software packages installed are determined by the user's test requirements. |
| Multiple Instrument Synchronization Complete access at the interface of all instrument "trigger" signals allows multiple instrument synchronizations, or "event" testing. This technique can reduce the software overhead for a test and increase throughput. |
| Measurement Capability to 250 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 250 MHz. |
