In order to make quality measurements, repeatability is nonnegotiable. Studying variation in reproduced measurements determines the character of a desired RF ATE test measurement. RF test component measurements have extensive variables, and many factors can cause inaccurate measurements. This white paper takes a complete look into all of the considerations surrounding accurate RF test component […]

Conditions ranging from high temperatures and humidity to intense vibrations and pressures require the use of extremely rugged and portable test systems. But, before sending a system out to operate in harsh real-world conditions, the system needs to be properly tested in a controlled environment. This whitepaper explores the best practices for designing, testing, and

The most common mistake made in the design of test and measurement systems is to focus on the hardware and software while ignoring infrastructure issues such as data storage, deployment, and scalability. Often the problems do not surface until the system has been deployed in production and correcting them can be very costly and time consuming. This

The challenge in designing a flexible production test system is to provide a software architecture which allows quick test application development for many different products. Utilizing TestStand™ and LabVIEW™ test sequences developed for one product can be easily migrated to support the development of many new products. By abstracting the instrument drivers and building configurable
