At ATS Test Systems, we develop sophisticated, custom PC-based software solutions for advanced data acquisition, factory floor information systems and product testing. We have developed an in-house library comprising approximately one million lines of code. This allows us to design systems with standard features that go far beyond simple pass/fail testing.

All of our test systems include our Test Executive software to control all of the testing, data analysis and data archiving operations of the test system. Utilizing subsets of robust Visual C++ test modules, our systems exceed simple Pass/Fail testing to offer in depth qualitative and quantitative data that can be used for detailed SPC analysis; enabling our customers to continually optimize their manufacturing processes.

Typical ATS test software features include:

• Fast cycle times, optimized for maximum throughput
• Verbose error and product failure messages to assist in root cause analysis
• Intelligent use of intuitive color schemes on our Graphical User Interfaces allow operators to quickly determine equipment and product status
• Pareto analysis, management reports by hour, shift, day, week, etc…
• Server-based statistical quality reporting via ATS Production Quality & Management System (PQMS) software
• Full online configuration, viewing and editing
• Unlimited part type software setup
• Full “black box” time stamped result logging
• Archiving of all product related test measurements to standard file formats
• Pallet-based RF tag interfaces
• Advanced diagnostics and tools to support engineering analysis and product debugging
• Standard PLC interface via RS-232, Digital I/O and Profibus

Our programmers are expertly versed in a variety of software programming languages, including:

• Microsoft Visual Studio C++, Basic
• National Instruments Labview and Component Works
• National Instruments CVI and Test Bench
• Inprise (Borland) C++ Builder, Delphi and Pascal

Industry and Automotive bus protocols supported:

• CAN and Extended CAN
• J1850: SCP, Class 2
• K-Line, etc…

	ATS builds in-process gauging and testing systems to handle a variety of applications including electrical testing, leak& flow testing and performance testing.
	To reduce cycle times, our split-screen interface displays detailed information for multiple concurrent test operations. The screen's color-coded messages can be easily read from a distance.
	Test systems, designed and built by ATS, provide on-line real-time factory floor data collection, distribution and archiving.

Our test systems are totally database driven. Every aspect of the test setup and pass/fail determination may be user modified without ever needing to exit the application. We integrate standard tools for data filtering and signature analysis such that any physical property may be quickly measured / analyzed with a high degree of gauge reproducibility and repeatability. We typically validate our systems with GR&R well below 10%.
