SOFTWARE: esd.control

The ultimate ESD test software

esd.control is a high-sophisticated software tool that enlarges the outstanding features and capabilities of the EM TEST ESD testers to become an unreached ESD test facility.
The navigation is easy and configurable according to the user's profile by means of a password.
Help information is offerd to guide the user through the various steps of the functionality of the software.
esd.control is also used to update the firmware of the EM TEST ESD generators.

Every ESD test starts with the specification of the test points and the test levels that shall be applied at each test point, complemented by the number of discharges and the polarity. A test note can be generated including graphics of the DUT. This test note can be printed out and is then used during test.
esd.control helps to define the test routine either based on an a standard test routine of an existing test routine or to create a new test routine following the test note.

esd.control includes a large library of various standards test routines. Apart from standard test routines you can create your own, specific test routines. They will be added to the already existing test routine data base.
esd.control is capable to manage an unlimited number of test routines in its data base.

esd.control offers a separate menu to set up and run tripod tests. The parameters can be defined manually or based on a standard test routine with different test levels including a voltage sweep function.

Once the test routine is defined it is downloaded into ESD generator via the optical interface OptoLink. The ESD generator is now ready for the test. The test person is guided through the test as dito indicates the test point where the next discharges have to be applied. Hence ESD tests are now performed with highest possible reliability.
During test the ESD generator records all results and possible events (fail conditions etc.).
