Abstract
A method, a system and/or a computer readable medium for accessing design data including an electronic image of an integrated circuit to be tested; determining whether a pin of the integrated circuit has been assigned to a port in a multi-port automated test environment; enabling a displayable pin indicator based in part upon the determination of whether a pin is assigned to a port; and displaying the electronic image and the displayable pin indicator.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- accessing design data including an electronic image of an integrated circuit to be tested;
- determining whether a pin of the integrated circuit has been assigned to a port in a multi-port automated test environment;
- enabling a displayable pin indicator based at least in part upon the determination of whether a pin is assigned to a port;
- and
- displaying the electronic image and the displayable pin indicator.
A method for developing at least a portion of an integrated circuit test in a multi-port automated test environment comprising:
- accessing design data including an electronic image of an integrated circuit to be tested;
- determining whether a pin of the integrated circuit is assigned to a port in a multi-port automated test environment;
- indicating with a displayable indicator the result of the determining step;
- and
- assigning a pin to a port as a result of the determining and indicating steps.
A system for developing at least a portion of an integrated circuit test in a multi-port automated test environment, the system comprising:
- an automated test controller which is adapted to communicate test information to automated test equipment, said controller also being adapted to provide for:
- accessing design data including an electronic image of an integrated circuit to be tested;
- determining whether a pin of the integrated circuit is assigned to a port as desired;
- and
- assigning such pin to a port if not assigned as desired.
Apparatus comprising:
- a computer readable medium;
- wherein a computer program is stored on the computer readable medium, the computer readable medium being adapted for developing at least a portion of an integrated circuit test in a multi-port automated test environment;
- said computer program comprising:
- program code to access design data including an electronic image of an integrated circuit to be tested;
- program code to determine whether a pin of the integrated circuit is assigned to a port;
- and
- program code to assign such pin to a port if not assigned as desired.
