Replace Obsolete Signal Generators With Minimal Changes To Your Test Program Sets

Aging test instrumentation is a concern for engineers supporting old Automated Test Equipment (ATE) systems. Users of these systems are faced with the dilemma that test instruments in these aged systems are no longer available, are becoming too costly to maintain and repair and are no longer supported by the original equipment manufacturer. One solution is to replace the obsolete model altogether.

The primary concern when replacing old test equipment is editing the existing Test Program Sets (TPS) or ATE program code. This can be a time consuming and costly solution. In some cases it is almost impossible to reprogram the existing code because some of the TPS use older compilers that are no longer available.
