Custom Integrations-Workstation Remote Control

Description

The Huntron Workstation optional Remote Control feature allows control of the software from other programs. Its main
purpose is to allow other programs to control Huntron hardware products through Huntron Workstation and control other
software or instruments. Tests are created and verified in Huntron Workstation and then “controlled” by other programs.
Other features include controlling a Prober to put the pin down on a pin to take a measurement with another tester,
capturing a camera image over a selected pin and retrieving scan and reference signature data for the selected pin.
The process of adding Huntron Tracker and Prober capabilities to other programs and testers using drivers requires a lot
of programming by the customer. Huntron Workstation Remote Control makes this a lot easier by providing most of the
functionality needed with minimal programming.
Remote Control is used by programs talking to the Huntron Client VB.NET DLL (HuntronClient.dll). The DLL exposes
functions that are called by the programs to control Huntron Workstation. The DLL communicates to Workstation through
Microsoft Remoting Technologies

Real World Example using Huntron Remote Control

This system used a custom head design added to a Huntron Access 2 Prober. The entire system was enclosed in a custom cabinet. The customer required the ability to test unpackaged RF FET modules by precisely placing eight pins and executing the test. Mounted on the test head are a Holsworth RF synthesizer, Aeroflex fixed coaxial attenuator, Boonton RF power sensor meter interfacing to a multi-point sping probe assembly. The multi-point spring probe is lowered to the PCB under test using a leadscrew motor assembly. This motor assembly allowed the system to handle the heavier load of the combined assemblies mounted on the head. A version of this leadscrew design was later incorporated into the new Access DH head assemblies. Separate power and USB cables were installed into the Access Prober cable harness for control and power.
The customer wrote their own instrument measurement software but used Huntron Workstation with Remote Control to control the test point locations and Prober movement.
