Test areas of TOPTEST

You need help in the realisation of a test system?

We can assist you in selecting a test system suitable for your requirement. Based on the test specifications we create a testing concept based on your test system or a PXI rack with appropriately selected components.
We can thus develop application specific test systems which remain compatible for subsequent generations of your products.

Looking for a suitable in-circuit or functional test system for your product?

PXI-based test system

Based on a PXI rack cabinets, we provide you with a test system corresponding to your test specifications.

Flexible components for in-circuit programming

elowerk eloZ1

Test system elowerk eloZ1

Do you want to buy a new ICT / FKT test system?

The eloZ1 Manufacturing Defects Analyzer is an in-circuit tester of the very latest generation, reliably detecting connection and assembly faults on printed circuit board assemblies. The eloZ1 can be integrated into table systems as well as into inline-systems.

The eloZ1 has a modular structure. Stimuli units and switchgear units are designed as plug-in modules. There are different types of containers, which differ in the number of slots and the number of controllers. This modular structure makes it possible to adapt the equipment of the test system of the respective test task.

NI LabVIEW

Test Programming with National Instruments LabVIEW

National Instruments introduces LabVIEW with an industry standard for developing a test environment.
Our staff have years of experience in many areas of this development environment.
Our focus is on automatic test systems.

Creation of individual VIs (virtual instruments)
Development of user interfaces
Integration of external hardware such as programming devices, power supplies
CAN, CANopen and other protocols
Integration of script files for test control - for test procedure changes without LabVIEW skills
State Machines / Sequencer for flow control of the test VIs
Creation of .NET assemblies for integration into Aeroflex AIDE
VIs for TestStand applications
RIO (reconfigurable IOs with NI-RIO FPGA hardware)
Setting up the generation of log files

NI TestStand

Automated Testing with National Instruments TestStand

TestStand from National Instruments is a standard software for automatic testing. Complex and flexible test systems can be created by integrating a wide range of hardware and software modules (e.g. LabVIEW-VIs, C#-Modules).

Some highlights from TestStand:

Parallel testing
Integration of PXI measurement, stimulus and communication cards
Optimisation of flow control
Integration of data logging

Aeroflex AIDE

This programming environment for analog and digital InCircuit and functional test enables high test depth in the realisation of the test tasks. We have many years of extensive experience with AIDE.

TOPTEST DrillView

DrillView

DrillView is used to create and display test point plans from CAD data

DrillView was developed by Toptest for easy visualisation and creation of fixture-drilling data, test point plans, as well as support for wiring.
Flexible and programmable filters allow reading and processing of almost all netlist data formats.
The X, Y coordinates and identifiers of the test points are displayed in actual size 1:1 format. Printout via Windows printer driver is also in 1:1 format.
The test points are shown for all freely definable drill sizes.
Multi-board orientation and numbering can be freely defined.
The separation between neighbouring test points is calculated, and can be displayed in the case of a proximity conflict. The acceptable separation threshold is definable. This check avoids problems during fixture manufacture.
A demo version without memory capability can be downloaded.
