Digitaltest Introduces Flying Prober and New Software


Stutensee, Germany — Digitaltest Inc. is showcasing its Condor Flying Probe system — second generation, Sigma 300 in-circuit tester with a new migration tool and state-of-the art software offerings — QMAN soft- ware and C-LINK DTM (digital-to- manufacturing) software. Capabilities for the Condor fly-


ing prober: test probes can land on small SMT leads of components, using C-LINK DTM, which has an improved flying probe algorithm. If a pad is accessible by more than one head, the new calculation will deter- mine the head which guarantees the best and most reliable contact. With the latest improved software it is now possible to create very robust test programs in much shorter devel- opment time. Combining the benefits of flying


prober with boundary scan creates a powerful test solution. The Condor fly-

ing prober permits functional tests using up to 1012 fixed probes access- ing from the bottom side. The fixed probes can access the UUT using a simple magnetic probe bed or a sophis- ticated vacuum operated adaptor. Contact: Digitaltest, Inc., 5046
