Success Story – L200 to Spectrum 9100 TPS Rehosting

The U.S. Military has TPS that were developed on older generation test systems. As these products stay in the field for longer periods of time, these TPS have to be migrated to a newer test platform.

ASP developed a process to re-host multiple Teradyne L200/L300 TPS to Teradyne Spectrum 9100 with consistency and traceability. Non Standard Functions (NSF) were developed to supplement TPS Converter Studio in order to provide a complete translation. The process also accounts for differences in system hardware as well as personality circuits in the ITA. A total of 22 TPS were rehosted using this process.

TPS rehosting helped to protect customer’s legacy TPS investment. It also prolongs the ability for the customer to support the product.
