This course teaches the student how to generate and debug basic test programs using both Teradyne’s built-in and student generated library models with emphasis placed on using Digital Testing concepts and the High Speed Test Source (DTS). Students will gain experience in the use of Xpress Modeler and Basic Scan software tools as well as standard Digital Modelling techniques. Tests will be created using the Automatic Test Options (ATO) technique. Frequency test will be developed using the System Frequency and Time Interval instrument (SFTM). Basic test program maintenance will be taught using component value and tolerance analysis and modification.
