ABI, the UK-based test and measurement systems supplier for electronics manufacturing, has officially released PremierLink and CompactLink. PremierLink is a PC-based package that allows users to add new devices to the library, select a variety of tests and create new functional tests to suit special applications. Test routines for devices included in the System8 built-in library can also be viewed.
New IC functional tests can be created using PremierLink IC Programming (PLIP), a high level descriptive test programming language optimised for generation of both analog and digital IC test programmes.
CompactLink serves a similar purpose than PremierLink for the Compact Professional Range (LinearMaster and ChipMaster). With CompactLink, users can add new devices to the library and create functional tests to suit special applications. Thanks to an RS232 link, software updates (available on the Internet) can be downloaded and programmed into the compact units. Test results can also be uploaded to the PC for analysis.
Additionally, CompactLink is included in the PremierLink package.
