description |
<p>Guided probe testing of printed circuit boards is a technique that has been well developed by
automatic test equipment manufacturers to pinpoint faults. Though the guided probe technique
of testing printed circuit boards is a process capable of providing high diagnostic resolution, the
technique is inefficient when it is performed manually. The throughput of board testing is bottlenecked
because of the time required for an operator to manually move a probe to a specific location
on the board under test in order to measure a stimulated response. Integration of a CAD driven
X-Y prober is a way to automate guided probe testing of printed circuit boards.</p>
<p>This research integrates a personal computer based automated guided probe testing system. A
CAD tool provides geometric and circuit connectivity information. Automatic test generation,
CAD information post processing, and automatic guided probe testing software tools are developed
to implement the system. The ultimate result is increased circuit board test station throughput.
This makes the circuit board manufacturing process more efficient and less expensive while maintaining
high quality products through more extensive testing.</p> === Master of Science |
