Offline programming software for flying probe test of PCBA An offline programming software tool is very critical for test program development of PCBA flying probe tester, VayoPro - Test Expert is a powerful tool you shouldn’t miss. VayoPro - Test Expert comes with flexible & powerful functionality, which could greatly reduce offline programming & inline fine-tune cycle for flying probe test.
Takaya, Seica, Spea, Hioki, Acculogic, Digitaltest, Emerix and iFree, etc. are some common flying probe testers used in PCB test field. No matter what brand you are using, VayoPro - Test Expert could help generate a FPT (flying probe test) pogram in a short time.
Programming procedures of Takaya flying probe test Here we will use Takaya flying probe tester as an example to show you how it works in offline programming of flying probe test. It doesn’t matter whether your tester model is APT-8400, APT-9400, APT-1400 or APT-1600 series, VayoPro - Test Expert would generate a CA8 or CA9 file format with test sequences. Step-by-step workflow for Takaya flying probe tester programming greatly facilitate the ease-of-use of VayoPro - Test Expert, which greatly reduce the learning & master curve for new users. Firstly VayoPro - Test Expert loads PCB CAD sources like Altium, Cadence (Allegro or OrCAD), Mentor, Pads, Zuken, Autodesk Eagle, ODB++, IPC-2581, … then it loads BOM files (text or MS Excel format) and performs automatic validation before it moves to next step. Before nail selection, you could assign test type for component type, extract value & tolerance from BOM description, or assign property for special nets (power or ground). The advantage of VayoPro - Test Expert is that it could automatically extract value & tolerance from BOM description, which greatly saves the offline programming & inline fine-tune cycle for flying probe test.
