ATest™ ... State Of The Art Manufacturing Test Environment


Powerful Test Execution Using Low Skilled Operators!
In our experience, no matter how comprehensive test programs may be, unless easy to use, they will not be effective on the manufacturing floor. It's better to use pictures and buttons than require operators to type, file search, or make decisions. During execution, low skilled operators are the norm.
Anagon's ATest™ software system makes it easy to embed online pictures and step by step instructions throughout test sequences. The ATest architecture is "data enabled". This makes it easy for non-programmers to modify online pictures and instructions without redesigning and recompiling the test software.

Flexible, Easy To Use Test Development Environment!
Special test languages and test sequences have been in use in the commercial, automatic test industry as early as 1971. Even today, most commercial test environments are complicated and difficult to use.
ATest, on the other hand, was designed by Test Engineers for Test Engineers! It's simple to use, simple to learn, and flexible enough to accomplish the job quickly and efficiently. The system supports a large library of instrument drivers from all major vendors. ATest contains a flexible set of code assemblies that perform common system tasks. And best of all, ATest provides a comprehensive set of debugging tools, critical for test development productivity.

Direct Support Of National Instrument's LabVIEW®
Anagon designed ATest™ to be directly compatible with the test industry's most popular, state of the art, programming languages such as National Instrument's LabVIEW®. This enables users to easily port and adapt existing test code into the ATest™ environment, as well as use existing instrument libraries.

Direct Support Of Microsoft's .Net® Architecture And SQLServer®
ATest™ is directly compatible with Microsoft's state of the art .Net® architecture. Tests written in VB, C++, and C# integrate seamlessly. Visual Studio.Net's® debugging tools work directly with ATest™ sequences. All ATest™ sequences automatically record measurement data into Anagon databases running under Microsoft's SQLServer®. Test information is automatically available from the beginning of test development all the way through to manufacturing floor deployment! .
