And with our software, you'll be ahead of the game. We know that programming your Test equipment can be a tedious and time-consuming task, leaving little room for other things. Our ProntoTEST-FIXTURE software, developed over the last 35 years, streamlines the test programming process, saving you valuable time.

Used by electronics manufacturers ProntoTEST-FIXTURE quickly generates accurate circuit description files for In-Circuit and MDA Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) and designs "Bed of Nails" test fixtures and programs Flying Probe ATE and boundary-scan systems support. ProntoTEST-FIXTURE also includes the basic features of ProntoVIEW-MARKUP. The Unisoft ProntoTEST-FIXTURE software translates CAD or Gerber and Bill of Materials (BOM) files into real reference designators, X/Y component pins, nets, trace runs, rotation, part numbers, etc. This data is then used by Test Engineers to program their Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) machines and boundary-scan systems. Instantly finds non-probable nets, optimizes probe placement and size, creates fixture fabrication files, test documentation, etc. Receive reports containing device and package type counts for quotation and cost estimations and reports such as nets that cannot be accessed with a test probe, total test probes needed by size, etc. ProntoTEST-FIXTURE programs popular newer and older Test equipment. Most Test machines are supported such as Keysight/Agilent/Hewlett Packard, Teradyne, GenRad, Takaya flying probe, Spea, Seica flying probe, Huntron, Jet Tester, Acculogic, Sprint Flying Probe, Javelin Flying Probe, etc. Supports boundary-scan systems such as Corelis, Flynn Systems, JTAG Technologies and XJTAG. Other Test equipmemt models can be programmed with standard outputs the Unisoft software creates. Also some ATE Test machines and boundary-scan systems need only standard CAD file formats to program them and the Unisoft software as options available to input one type of CAD file format and then export a standard CAD file format such as GENCAD, IPCD356, IPC-2581, MENTOR Neutral, PADS, Fabmaster, .XML, etc. that can then be used to program the ATE Test equipment and boundary-scan systems.

ProntoTEST-FIXTURE also includes, at no additional charge, the basic features of ProntoVIEW-MARKUP and is used by PCB assembly ( PCBA ) electronic manufacturers with features such as detailed viewing of PC board assemblies and aids troubleshooting technicians and debug, the creation of documents, etc. required throughout the PCB assembly ( PCBA ) test/assembly process. The software increases efficiency, communications and reduces errors across the production floor. With over 100 features ProntoVIEW-MARKUP aids every department every day on the shop floor of PCB assembly ( PCBA ) manufacturers where it is used by management, assembly, inspection, design, Test, troubleshooting technicians and other personnel. The software creates assembly instructions with unique colors for each part number and step in the assembly process and generates matching kitting labels. Locate any component, pin or part number, finds shorts between traces, netlist, paperless hyperlinked schematic linked to the asssembly, add annotation notes and graphics. The software provides fast PC Board first article inspection and general inspection. Create reports containing device and package type counts with quotation and cost estimations, etc.. With a current license distribute the Unisoft included PC Board viewer software to your production floor, vendors, customers, etc. to aid assembly, 1st article inspection, general inspection, repair/rework, technician debug, for better communications, etc. If needed ProntoVIEW-MARKUP can be controlled remotely from your application or equipment via the supplied external API programming interface.

You may already have Test software that you use to program your ATE Test equipment and boundary-scan systems but you need a way to convert newer or non-supported cad file formats to this software. Unisoft can import virtually any CAD or Gerber format and export a standard file for import to your existing ATE Test and boundary-scan software. Output formats include GENCAD, IPCD356, IPC-2581, MENTOR Neutral, PADS, Fabmaster, .XML, etc. For example Unisoft can import virtually any CAD or Gerber file format and export to Teradyne/Genrad D2B Alchemist or Fabmaster Test Expert software.

If you only have Gerber files for your Test project because the native CAD files are not available the Unisoft software can help you to program your ATE Test equipment and boundary-scan systems. The Unisoft software takes your gerber files and BOM and creates the exact Reference Designators, Net List, X/Y, Part Number, Values and Tolerance data you need to program your project. This feature of ProntoTEST-FIXTURE can automatically create the Netlist from your raw gerber files in addition to the real reference designators, theta rotation, part numbers, X/Y component pin geometries, values, tolerances, etc. The netlist is a mandatory item for most Test Departments and repair technicians. ProntoTEST-FIXTURE creates the netlist by automatically tracking and connecting the copper traces from the gerber files to the correct components, pins and vias for each net. Of course the Unisoft software also imports virtually all standard native CAD file types too!

Unisoft ProntoTEST-FIXTURE Software Overview Diagram

Test Documentation Process Sheets

The Unisoft software allows you to quickly create matching test documentation process sheets for each step in the test process. Part numbers can be automatically assigned to the test steps you wish. (For example: Step 1 "Connector - Place Test Probes here for trace opens testing!", Step 2 "Switch - Make sure all switches are in OPEN position prior to In-Circuit ATE testing!", etc.) The part numbers are then automatically uniquely colored. If needed, overlay annotation notes can be added to each step. Next for each step matching test assembly drawings and lists are created. These drawings can either be printed or save to a file (PDF Adobe, etc.) or displayed on the screen.

The trial software has HELP for most menu items by hovering over the menu item for a second then click any of the videos, manual or website links to learn about the software.

ProntoVIEW-MARKUP

The basic features of ProntoVIEW-MARKUP are included at no additional charge and adds features such as detailed viewing of PC board assemblies and the creation of documents, etc. required throughout the PCB assembly ( PCBA ) process. The software increases efficiency, communications and reduces errors across the production floor. With over 100 features aids every department every day on the shop floor of PCB assembly ( PCBA ) manufacturers where it is used by management, assembly, inspection, design, Test, troubleshooting technicians and other personnel.

The information and figures that follow outline a few of the features of ProntoVIEW-MARKUP.

Assembly Process Documents

The Unisoft software allows you to quickly create matching assembly lists and assembly drawing sheets for each step in the assembly process. Part numbers are automatically assigned to the assembly step you wish (for example: Step 1 for Hand Inserts, Step 2 Chip Shooter components, etc). The part numbers are then automatically uniquely colored. If needed, overlay annotation notes can be added to each step. Next for each step matching assembly lists and assembly drawings are created. These drawings can either be printed or save to a file (PDF Adobe, etc.) or displayed on the screen.

Kitting Labels

The Unisoft software allows you to quickly create Kitting Labels with barcodes for fast and accurate electronic component kitting. Quickly select the component part numbers for which you wish kitting labels created. Each label contains the part number, unique part number color, step number, p/n description, reference designator, etc. Fast and easy electronic kitting labels for kitting work orders.

Barcodes of various types can be printed on the kitting labels and shown on the display for quick kitting, fast assembly machine feeder loading, verification, inspection, etc.: 2d-qr code, 2d-data matrix, etc.

Paperless Assembly Instructions - use display only for slide line PCB assembly ( PCBA ) , etc.

Paper or Paperless assembly instructions are available using the Unisoft software. If paperless assembly instructions are desired then many options are available. For example two options might be that the below 3 operations for Mary, Jane and Joe can be shown as the same display, as pictured above, on each of their 3 monitors. The other option may be that the 3 color operations above can be separated into 3 separate .F2B database files and then each .F2B displays only their unique operation on each of their 3 monitors.

Further the operators can select one of their several part numbers to be install from below and only those components with the selected part number will blink on the display.

If paper assembly documents are desired from the paperless display simply click the PRINT ASSEMBLY DOCUMENTS button and the hard copy created can be ordered by step, color, operation, etc.

Export standardized BOM files to Part Sourcing, MRP and ERP software

All types of Bill of Material (BOM) formats can be imported into the Unisoft software and then exported to normalized standard BOM formats that can then be utilized by your other manufacturing software systems such as Part Sourcing, MRP, ERP, etc.

NETLIST window and blinking of all pins on the selected net

Easier drill down to component pins, trace runs and schematic. Display NETLISTS quickly using the "NET INFORMATION" window that displays the NET NAME of the selected component and pin and all the other pins on the net. The trace run of the selected net is highlighted and all pins on the net blink. If the schematic view is displayed then the net chosen is shown. The user can then select any one of the other pins on the net in the NET INFORMATION box. The result is the NET INFORMATION window will update to the new selected pin and the selected trace highlighted will update also. If the schematic view is displayed then that view will refresh too.

Included PC Board CAD Viewer & Gerber Viewer

The Unisoft software outputs a single board file of the PCB assembly ( PCBA ) that is compatible with the included PCB assembly ( PCBA ) viewer. Customers with a current license can distribute the PCB assembly ( PCBA ) viewer and the Unisoft PCB assembly ( PCBA ) board file to your production floor, other divisions, vendors, customers, etc. to aid assembly, first article inspection, general inspection, repair/rework, technician debug, for enhanced communications, etc.
