Program production system for semiconductor tester

A program production system for generating a test program for a semiconductor tester comprising:

• a sequence setting unit which displays a sequence setting screen possessing a plurality of program cells corresponding to an execution sequence of a program and which, when specifying any of said program cells, sets an execution sequence for commands on a target in correspondence with the positions of the specified program cells;
• and
• a function setting unit which displays function setting screens which, when a plurality of previously prepared functions for semiconductor testing and parameters corresponding to said functions exist, includes those parameters, and which, when specifying any of said functions, sets said specified functions so as to correspond to said commands on a target and sets the values of said corresponding parameters, and
• further comprising a parameter calculation unit for converting the values of parameters of said functions set by said function setting unit into an execution format;
• for making groupings of prescribed codes corresponding to the types of said functions set by said function setting unit and the values of said parameters corresponding to said functions following conversion into an execution format by said parameter calculation unit;
• and
• for producing a program as an object by arranging said groupings into an execution sequence set by said sequence setting unit in absence of performing a compiling operation.
