Simplify
Test Program Execution for the Operator
Contract manufacturers and off-shore manufacturers often need to
run boundary-scan tests using non-technical operators who have
limited computer knowledge and applications experience. The
standard Corelis ScanExpress Runner gang tester and programmer
application, one of the easiest programs to use in its class, is
often too complex for such personnel to operate without errors
and confusion. This is especially true when testing different
types of Units Under Test (UUTs) which requires loading test
plan (“.tsp”) files from various directories on a network drive
in a remote manufacturing facility.
Based on inquiries from contract manufacturers, Corelis has
created a special purpose Windows application program
specifically for contract manufacturers that is designed to
minimize operator errors and further simplify the test process.
The operator is presented with a simple Graphical User Interface
(GUI) which only requires the test operator to enter the serial
numbers of the UUTs and the program will then automatically find
the correct test plan (“.tsp”) file related to these particular
serial numbers and execute the tests. The boundary-scan test
process of first entering a serial number and then clicking the
RUN button is simple and not error prone which is very suitable
for a manufacturing environment. The GUI is compatible with
wedge type optical bar-code readers and production test
personnel can even use this program without a keyboard by using
an optical bar-code reader.
The Express RunnerClick application program will only execute on
computers with an installed and licensed ScanExpress Runner
application. The Express RunnerClick program calls the
ScanExpress Runner DLL and runs the various boundary-scan tests
using ScanExpress Runner, but without the ScanExpress Runner
GUI.
As shown below, this program presents a simple, single-dialog
user interface that is easy and safe to use and can be utilized
by low-skill operators.
