Chassis and Instruments

A typical ATE includes Chassis and Instruments. ALTEN GT provides rack development solutions based on the client’s requirements. ALTEN GT performs an analysis of the client’s requirements based on which the appropriate COTS hardware is selected and design recommendations are made. ALTEN GT always procures and integrates instruments from reliable and approved vendors.

In addition, ALTEN GT delivers customized solutions in situations where Standard Instruments do not meet the requirements (e.g. Signal Conditioning Units and Power Distributions Units).

In addition to Instrument selection, Customization, and Chassis development, ALTEN GT takes care of Assembly and Wiring utilizing experienced In-house Production teams.

ALTEN GT is experienced in developing Full or Half Size chassis Solutions.

Test Fixture Solutions

ALTEN GT provides mechanical design solutions using platforms such as AutoCAD and Solid Works. The design of test fixtures is based on Customer Requirements such as a multi DUT testing for End-Of-Line production testing or a Single DUT test fixture for performance/validation purposes.

ALTEN GT also has expertise in designing robust Break-in Break-out Boxes which can split multiple signals to several connectors. This is highly essential in designing multi-DUT test systems. In Our design, minimal wiring is ensured with neat routing to reduce wear and tear as well as easy Maintenance.

For RF testing, ALTEN GT has designed RF shield boxes that ensure higher isolation from external components to test the DUT in non-signaling mode.

For single DUT testing, flexibility for connection and disconnection along with durability is a very important aspect and ALTEN GT uses an imperishable ITA (Interface Test Adapter) solution.

ATE Software Development

Our Engineers are experienced in developing ATE software using various tools like NI’s LabVIEW, TestStand, LabWindows/CVI and Python.

ALTEN GT provides a Layered Software Architecture as it simplifies managing the software. Additionally, it is also cost effective approach and saves development time.

ALTEN GT constantly strives to address the Customer’s challenges like parallel testing, test time optimization, reliable results, and test evolution. In addition, for keeping a track record of DUTs, ALTEN GT supplements Database Management Solutions on local as well as remote servers using popular databases like MySQL.

ALTEN GT also provides Test Engineering Services to cater to enhancement of legacy Test Systems.

Documentation

ALTEN GT delivers all aspects of the ATE design to the Customers in the form of a detailed Requirements, Design and Validation Documents along with the developed Source code. Release notes and Validation Reports of the ATE accompany each release of the Test System. ALTEN GT recognizes that documentation is a very important aspect of Test System Development Lifecycle and hence provides utmost attention in capturing every single detail in the documentation.
