With the I2C development kit (ProgramIC), you can communicate with integrated circuits via the I2C or SPI bus using National Instruments LabVIEW software. The kit consists of a hardware interface which connects to a PC using the parallel (printer) interface.
The LabVIEW toolkit for the SECS I, SECS II communication protocol is written in native LabVIEW and contains examples and an editable state machine template for implementing your SECS II application. The toolkit contains utilities to convert clusters of data automatically into SECS II data structures (traditionally, the most time consuming part of using other packages). The driver uses VISA for low-level communication over RS-232. Most of the source code diagrams are available for troubleshooting or optimization.
The Electroglas Probe Station Driver supports the most utilized commands for Electroglas 20xx series probe stations. The driver uses the VISA calls so it supports both GPIB and RS-232 interfaces to a prober. Developed with the technical support of ElectroGlas and National Instruments, the driver has been thoroughly tested on the 2001 model prober.
The LabVIEW driver enables fast and easy integration between a LabVIEW diagnostic or manufacturing testing application and the positioning capabilities of the prober system. By combining these modules with computer-based or GPIB test equipment, an automatic test system can quickly be assembled.
With the SUSS MicroTec Probe Station LabVIEW Interface, you can seamlessly incorporate LabVIEW into SUSS MicroTec manual, semiautomatic, and fully automatic probe stations to customize and automate wafer-level test applications.
