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! .
