Mission impossible? Open architecture ATE
D.R. Conti · 2003
Summary form only given. A premise behind the open architecture system is to have a single set of hardware and software standards across the test industry, allowing instrumentation to be exchanged between ATE supplier boundaries. This paper asks whether the ATE suppliers will cooperate to set and maintain these standards while maintaining competition, and if not, looks at whether there is a sufficient number of third party suppliers to support multiple open architectures.
