Advantages
• Convenient storage and management of large numbers of test programs
(e.g. >1000).
• Easy storage and management of test results.
• Importing results into other Windows applications for analysis.
• The Server PC could be located away from the test area, for example in
a supervisor’s office, allowing results analysis to be performed where it
is required.
• Up to 8 AT Series testers may be connected to each Server PC
Limitations
• Requires the Server PC to be permanently connected. This is to allow
the tester uninterrupted access to the server, for the purposes of
accessing programs and storing results.
• Usually requires an additional PC (which could be a portable) to be
attached locally to (the Auxiliary Port of) one of the testers when a new
program needs to be developed and evaluated.
Small Production Facility
At the other extreme, possibly more suitable for a small production facility with a
single AT Series tester and limited or temporary access to a PC:
• Connect the AT to the PC (running both Editor and Server software) as
shown above when developing the test programs.
• Download a group of programs from the Server to the AT, where they
will be held in the internal non-volatile memory.
• Remove the PC, and run all the production test programs from the AT
internal memory.
