LabWindows Adds Functionality to Teradyne's Z1800 Board Test System

December 19, 1994 -- Austin, TX - The National Instruments LabWindows for
DOS software is the graphical user interface used to equip the Teradyne
Z1800-Series in-circuit testers to meet customers' needs for adding
function test programming capabilities. Z1800-series testers are used by
550 customers in 40 countries, in industries such as computers,
telecommunications, automotive, portable electronics, and contract
manufacturing, to control manufacturing processes and ensure high yields
by finding assembly faults such as shorts, solder opens, and wrong,
missing, dead, or misoriented devices.

About Z1800 Series Testers

Z1800-Series board testers lower the cost of manufacturing process test and
increase fault coverage for manufacturers of printed circuit boards
(PCBs). "The integration of LabWindows into the Z1800-Series tester gives
our customers a fast, flexible solution for adding product function test
to the Z1800's proven manufacturing test capabilities," said Dominic
Haigh, product manager at Teradyne' s Assembly Test Group. "LabWindows'
ease of use, integration into the PC/DOS tester environment, and extensive
instrument driver library speeds function test design and debug. The
combination of LabWindows and the Z1800 makes practical, single-stage test
a reality."
