Production Test Tools

P&E

Low cost BDM links can be used for production flash programming but also, using a library of functions, can be used to develop your own test routines.  Their Cyclone Pro  and Cyclone Max are particularly effective as they are capable of both PC based development and flash programming as well as automated standalone flash programming.  A single PC can control multiple Cyclones for economical large volume production applications

Available for: 68HC08, 68HCS08, 68HCR08, 68HC12, 68HCS12, 68HCS12X, 68HC16, CPU32, Coldfire, PPC and MAC71xx,72xx (ARM).

Abatron

Use this faster BDM where large flash memories are to be loaded or where the extra speed or convenience of Ethernet (i.e. multiple stations) is of use. Production Flash programmers are available or for Flash programming in a more complex test environment ( serialisation or calibration ) Abatron provides a library of functions.

Available for:   68HC12, 68HC16, CPU32, Coldfire, M-CORE, PPC 4xx thru 85xx, ARM,  XScale  and MIPS32.

USB product testing

If you are developing and testing USB based products the first thing you will need is a USB protocol analyser.  The Ellisys units that we sell can also have a software development kit installed on their controlling PC which will allow the tester to carry out tests such as counting error rates, measurement of response times or decoding of proprietary protocols.

iSYSTEM ICE

iSYSTEM have an extensive script language including user interrogation and stimulus generation that has been used by a number of customers in test systems.

Paradigm RS232 Logging

StreamTeam can selectively log and report activity on multiple serial lines and they have a serial stimulation capability under development.

Component Programming and Testing

All the device programmers we sell also provide component test facilities.

Programmable DSO's and LA's

Our USB based large fast Logic Analysers all and have software support libraries available that make them usable within an automated test suite.  A new low cost range of portable instruments with parallel port and USB and LabView interfaces are also available ....  Logic Analysers    ......    Digital Storage Oscilloscopes
