Tests

When the form opens the default UUT - Map Name will be set to the current UUT; if the current UUT has been under test and there are still results to be compiled, then the Serial No will be auto-filled using the last Serial No tested.  Other UUTs can be selected by using the Map Name dropdown to select the desired UUT. 

 

          Clicking on the Pencil button, will open the Test Point Add/Edit form.

Use this function to create stand-alone Test Files independent from NODES™; see File Creation for more details.

Select to carry out Intermittent Fault Detection and Isolation using the Intermittence Testing application for the selected UUT.  The traditional Legacy Intermittence application is only available on request.

Select to perform a Continuity Test on the selected UUT, using CON-Default Test Profile and other continuity Test Profiles as selected.

Select to perform an AutoMap™ of a UUT.

Select to perform a Shorts Test on the selected UUT.

If shorts are found during the Shorts Test, the Trace button will appear in the P2P Testing application. Select to perform a Trace Test on the selected UUT.

The world-leading IFD™ Technology and its associated hardware & processes are powered by Universal Synaptics Corporation.

The status of the IFD™ TE is shown here and it includes the number of Test Points available on the IFD™ TE to carry out testing.  Testing can only be carried out if the IFD™ TE is connected and switched on and the status is showing Green.

The NODES™ can run in Simulated mode (status will show Orange) if no IFD™ TE is available; the number of test point in the UUT will be made available for Simulated mode to operate.  Simulated mode is very useful on an independent computer, to ensure that the UUT and it test points are configured correctly before porting to a real system.

Shows the status of the DMM selected by NODES™ to perform automatic and User selected Click&Test™ testing.  The DMM status indication shows Green if there is a valid DMM fitted and connected with a valid serial number indicated.  The panel will show in Orange if the DMM is in simulated mode.  To Refresh the DMM, click on the Refresh DMM button.   To setup the DMM, and its connecting string, double-click on the DMM Status panel.  To setup a new DMM or review a DMM's setting, including finding the device's connections string etc, refer to the NI-Max topic.

The SSTDR Status panel will show in Green if fitted and connected with a valid serial number displayed.  The SSTDR's serial number has to be entered into SPIDER™ in the appropriate field.  If there is no serial number entered or 'None', then the SSTDR will not try and connect, and the SSTDR functions will not be made available.  To run SSTDR functions in simulated mode (status is shown in Orange), then enter a serial number in SPIDER™ that starts with the phase 'Sim'.  To Refresh the SSTDR, click on the Refresh SSTDR button.

The Tracker Status panel will show in Green if fitted and connected with a valid serial number displayed.  The Tracker's serial number has to be entered into SPIDER™ in the appropriate field.  If there is no serial number entered or 'None', then the Tracker will not try and connect, and the Tracker functions will not be made available.  To run Tracker functions in simulated mode (status is shown in Orange), then enter a serial number in SPIDER™ that start with the phase 'Sim'.  To Refresh the Tracker, click on the Refresh TRACKER button.

Click to Exit from the Tests form.

Resolution details of the GXY graphic is displayed on mouse-over for the selected UUT.

Select this option to open the Point2Point application and display the GXY graphic ready for test point selection.

The test mode will default to Continuity.  Using the GXY, mouse-over the various TPs and select two TP to perform a Click&Test™ for LogScope™.  Other test modes will be made available from the GXY including Diode Testing, and depending on model and options, and may include: SSTDR Testing, Tracker Testing and the ability to connect to an External Instrumentation connector.
