Teradyne’s Z1888 Elite is an improved and full-function, low-cost, in-circuit tester developed to combine reliability and proven performance with accelerated test times, to reduce overall test costs. The system includes rapid program turn-on, high-quality throughput, Windows OS, and lower cost of ownership. It is well suited for fast-paced, high-volume, short-cycle-time board manufacturing. This system is faster and easier to operate than its predecessor, and features an over 30% price reduction. Reportedly, with over 2800 systems installed, the Z1800-series has shown an impressive figure of installations on which the tester builds on. It features Prism-Z, a DSP-based analog measurement system designed to improve product quality, increase throughput and accuracy in testing. Lightning-Z is an integrated environment and cost-effective solution for adding flash and ISP programming needs. MultiScan vectorless test provides a comprehensive tool set for power-off board test. The non-multiplexed architecture allows changes to programs within minutes, and Momentum APG enables users to move quickly through the complete program and fixture development process.
