Frequently asked questions

What does a test and probe system do?General reference — not yet source-verified

It makes temporary electrical contact with a device and measures its response so the device can be verified or screened.

What kind of output does this class produce?General reference — not yet source-verified

It produces electrical test results that indicate whether the device meets required behavior or should be rejected.

Why is probe-based testing used in manufacturing?General reference — not yet source-verified

It allows devices to be checked before later process steps, helping identify defects early and improve process control.

What is the main function of the motion system in this class?General reference — not yet source-verified

It positions the test interface accurately so consistent contact can be made with the device under test.

What is this class generally used for?General reference — not yet source-verified

It is generally used for electrical inspection, functional screening, and device verification in semiconductor production.
