Keysight i3070 (antes HP3070) Board Test InterfaceInterlatin
Conoce las caracterísiticas técnicas y utilidad del Keysight i3070 Board Test Interface (BTI) y cómo su nueva versión permite a ingenieros nuevos y con experiencia a realizar sus testplan de la mejor manera posible.
Through four use cases with examples, we describe how IEEE 1687 can be extended to include analog and mixed-signal chips, including linkage to circuit simulators on one end of the ecosystem and ATE on the other. The role of instrumentation, whether on the tester or on the device itself, is central to analog testing, and conveniently also the focal point of IEEE 1687. We identify enhancements to the modular netlist and test languages (ICL and PDL) to facilitate the description of the components involved in analog tests as well as the content of the tests themselves.

Most system designers and project managers look at the
project procurement, installation and deployment costs when
they price a project.
However, the costs of an automation system spread over the
life cycle of the plant and should include maintenance, faultfinding
and health-checking.
Perhaps most important is the cost in terms of loss of
production should faults develop during the lifetime of the
plant. Spending a little more at procurement time can repay
many times over.
Good fault tolerant design need not be more expensive.
Sometimes fault tolerance can be achieved with just a little
thought at no additional cost.
PROFINET is a member of a family providing industrial communications over Ethernet.
PROFINET is:
completely standard Ethernet (IEEE802.3).
High speed, operating at 100Mbit/s or faster over copper or fibre-optic cables,
makes use of existing IT standards. But, is “real-time” and deterministic,
PROFINET is very well thought out to incorporate all the requirements of automation and control systems.
PROFINET is totally compatible with PROFIBUS but is NOT PROFIBUS over Ethernet.
PROFINET wiring is quite different to PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS:
Uses multi-drop segments with many devices on one cable. Segments are separated by repeaters.
Two-core screened twisted pair cable.
Termination is in the hands of the user – many problems arise because of this.
PROFINET :
Multi-drop connection is not used; all cables connect just two devices together. Switches are used for branching to devices.
Four-core screened twisted pair cable.
Termination is provided within every Ethernet device; no longer in the hands of the user – should eliminate termination problems.
PROFINET – Commissioning Guideline
This is one of several free-to-download guidelines documents from PNO (PROFIBUS and PROFINET User Organisation).
It provides guidance on how to verify the installation aspects of the network as well as how to commission the live system.
These tests are additional to the application-specific, System Acceptance Testing that would usually be performed.
Failure to follow these guidelines puts you at risk of having your application tests pass without a detailed knowledge of the underlying performance of your network

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

4. ICT Incircuit Test RNS International continues to establish itself as a leader
in high-quality In-Circuit Test (ICT) and Functional
Verification Test (FVT) equipment.
We offer a full range of products and services for the
“industry standard” test systems, including HP/Agilent and
Teradyne (Genrad, Spectrum and Zenthel), VXI, PXI and
any other test system. RNS also has strong capabilities in
developing and manufacturing of wireless test fixtures.
ICT Backer Gate
RNS' Backer Gates are manufactured of extruded alumi-
num to surround the circuit board under test and allow for
mounting of push elements and sensors, as well as keeping
the board under test flat and free of stress. This fixture
design is suitable for a large variety of products.
Our most common test fixture contains a backer gate, also
known as a Mechanical Over-Clamp.
ICT Vacuum Cover
The “Vacuum Box” or „Vacuum Cover“ utilizes the tester
vacuum to lower the board under test onto the test points
with the aid of the upper plate, with its push elements.
We constantly design variations of this product, and appre-
ciate challenges that allow us to continually expand our con-
siderable library. The smallest probe size we currently incor-
porate is 25 Mil. Test probes for 40 and 50 Mil are standard
in fixtures built by RNS.
ICT ZSK Clamshell
If a particular application requires testing of top side points
the use of a Vacuum Box and a ZSK, or Clamshell unit is
the answer. While similar to other companies, Vacuum
Clamshells (ZSK) contains proven innovations that give it
superior action and reliability.
ICT Pneumatic
If vacuum is not an option, and node count exceeds the
capability of a manual fixture, a Pneumatic Fixture may be
the answer.
RNS has developed and built pneumatic fixtures to satisfy
this need. Turn to RNS to solve all your test fixture needs.
ICT Manual Actuation
If vacuum and pneumatic actuation is not an option, and
node count is less than 500, a manual actuation will be the
most suitable solution. Please contact us for more informa-
tion.

product vendor ID, batch number, barcode data and any
other variable data. The data encryption feature coupled
with LAN connectivity allows manufacturing companies
securely synchronize local data with distant production faci-
lities.
A built-in relay barrier allows ISP lines to be disconnected
from the target system, thus allowing other operations (i.e.
functional test) to be performed by other euqipment.
These and many other features makes the WriteNow! pro-
grammers the most complete, powerful and cost-effective
solution for every in-system programming need.

10. Quality & Additional Fixture Services
In-process QC and Final QA
To RNS, quality counts. RNS always ships a quality working
product. Our workflow entails several steps to ensure the
highest possible quality.
Quality Control (QC) at RNS begins at the Engineering
Department and goes through the entire production process.
Each component is carefully checked, with in-process QC, to
assure both dimensional accuracy and suitability for the
application.
After wiring is completed the fixture goes onto our verifying
machines to make sure the wiring is to customer require-
ments.
Before the fixture will be shipped, it has to pass a thorough
final Quality Assurance (QA) inspection.
Every aspect of the fixture is carefully tested.
