In-circuit tester for production lines
Agilent Technologies' Medalist i3070 in-circuit test system for printed circuit board assembly brings in-circuit test to the production line
Advanced algorithms provide analogue test throughput increase by up to 50% compared with legacy Agilent Medalist 3070 systems. Simple graphical user interfaces are designed to maximise ease-of-use for operators in a fast-paced high-volume manufacturing environment. The Agilent Medalist i3070 also includes VTEP v2.0 vectorless test technology that makes use of the new Network Parameter Measurement technology targeted at defect detection on power and ground pins for connectors.

Power and ground pins have long been considered off limits to vectorless test because, by design, the power or ground pins are tied together, making an opening in a pin virtually undetectable in any of the currently available vectorless test solutions in the market.
Agilent's VTEP v2.0 is the innovative solution to overcome this test limitation.
'The Medalist i3070 enables our customers to develop and debug their programs quicker than before', says NK Chari, ICT Marketing Manager of Agilent's Measurement Systems Division.
'We've also made vast improvements on the throughput and have achieved unprecedented coverage with VTEP v2.0'.
'We have pushed the boundaries on the most flexible and industry-leading in-circuit test platform, and are helping customers improve their time to market, reduce their cost and protect their investments'.
Both the new Medalist i3070 and VTEP v2.0 capabilities can be enabled on existing Medalist ICT systems with a simple software upgrade.
Concurrently, to further protect the investment of existing Agilent Medalist 3070 and i5000 users, the new Medalist i3070 provides a high degree of compatibility with the legacy Agilent ICT systems, making it easy for end-users to transport across systems with the same configuration.
The Agilent Medalist i3070 system is available starting March 2007.
