Qmax Panther,
| is designed as an ultra fast open/short tester, for flexible circuit, PCBs manufacture or IC manufacture that need testing, during production. | |
| It can be interfaced to any type of fixtures as required. | |
| Its fast test time of 1 micro-second per pin combination, is useful, for it helps, to increase test yield and productivity. | |
| It uses the Learn from a Known Good Board and test against target board technique. This reduces the time required to generate, otherwise, tedious test program. | |
| Fast turnaround time to test new products. | |
| Typical test time for a 300 pin devices ( 44,850 tests) is estimated to be about 0.04 second excluding software overhead for display. |
