  • Diagnose and repair boards

D2B Alchemist

Efficient Test & Inspection Program Preparation and CAD Translation

D2B Alchemist software accurately generates all of the information required to execute the increasingly complex manufacturing test, inspection and repair processes required by today’s electronics manufacturers. D2B Alchemist includes a Probe Placement solution that analyzes the printed circuit board design for in-circuit test access and automatically assigns test probes to board nets.

D2B Alchemist accepts data from different formats and generates programs for Teradyne and non-Teradyne test and inspection equipment.

Features:

  • Single-point solution for managing design data necessary for all popular test and inspection platforms
  • Reduces test and inspection program development time with a single integrated environment
  • Simplifies data preparation and data correction using software wizards
  • Implements practical and customizable probe placement rules for maximizing use of test points and pads
  • Automatically increases fixture accuracy and reliability by generating fixture wiring files

D2B DesignView

One Tool to Quickly View Physical and Schematic Design Data

D2B DesignView software helps test engineers and users in manufacturing by enabling them to quickly view and navigate both physical and logical design data, thus eliminating tedious and error-prone information retrieval processes.
