ATE Modernization Kits

ATE Modernization Kits

Modernization of HP 1000 Series ATE Systems
Modernization of an existing/obsolete ATE tester using an HP 1000 series computer/controller can be performed using the Modernization Kit, where the modernized tester will be able to test and utilize existing TPSs and ITAs. The Modernization Kit provides for the replacement of the obsolete HP 1000 series computers and equipment through the use of COTS software, emulators, and/or tester equipment to ensure the integrity of the TPSs and ITAs.
Levels of complexity categorize the Modernization Kits. Complexity is determined by the quantity and intricacy of the equipment/instruments to be modernized. The Modernization Kits consist of four levels from Complexity 1 to Complexity 4, with level 4 the most complex. Within each complexity, nine additional subcomplexity levels exist.
Example: Modernization Kit - Complexity 2.0 to 2.9

MK-131	Modernization Kit - Complexity 1
	This kit includes the replacement of an obsolete HP 1000 series computer and up to a total of six Analog/Digital/Video/Hybrid IEEE programmable instruments or assemblies. The Modernization Kit instruments/assemblies may be rack mountable, VXI, or configured assemblies.

MK-132	Modernization Kit - Complexity 2
	This kit includes the replacement of an obsolete HP 1000 series computer and up to a total of eight Analog/Digital/Video/Hybrid IEEE programmable instruments or assemblies. The Modernization Kit instruments/assemblies may be rack mountable, VXI, or configured assemblies.

MK-133	Modernization Kit - Complexity 3
	This kit includes the replacement of an obsolete HP 1000 series computer and up to a total of eight Analog/Digital/Video/ Hybrid/RF (up to two RF instruments) IEEE programmable instruments or assemblies. The Modernization Kit instruments/assemblies may be rack mountable, VXI, or configured assemblies.

MK-134	Modernization Kit - Complexity 4
	This kit includes the replacement of an obsolete HP 1000 series computer and up to a total of ten Analog/Digital/Video/Hybrid/RF (up to four RF instruments) IEEE programmable instruments or assemblies. The Modernization Kit instruments/assemblies may be rack mountable, VXI, or configured assemblies.
