Abstract
A method for use with automatic test equipment (ATE) having sites, each which accommodates a device under test (DUT), includes defining an object for use with the plural sites, where the object is to contain data associated with at least some of the plural sites, and where the object determines which sites are active. The method also includes using the object during testing of DUTs by the ATE.
Claims18
A method for use with automatic test equipment (ATE) having a plurality of sites accommodating a plurality of devices under test (DUTs), the method comprising:
- defining an object for use with the plurality of sites, the object containing data associated with the plurality of sites and computer code for:
- determining activity at active sites among the plurality of sites, the activity indicating that one or more DUTs associated with the active sites are suitable for testing;
- and
- recording changes in activity at the active sites over predetermined periods of time;
- and
- using the object during testing, performed by the ATE, of DUTs associated with active sites.

- automatic test equipment (ATE) having a plurality of sites to accommodate a plurality of devices under test (DUTs);
- a processing device in communication with the ATE, the processing device executing instructions to:
- define an object for use with the plural sites, the object containing data associated with the plurality of sites and computer code for:
- determining activity at active sites among the plurality of sites, the activity indicating that one or more DUTs associated with the active sites are suitable for testing;
- and
