An automated test bench for the ATLAS shapers and SCAs

An automated test bench has been developed for the ATLAS shapers and the analog memory integrated circuits. The measurement setup is based on a Labview application and the testing printed circuit board has a GPIB bus interface. The testing program works a handshake with a four axis table-top mounted robot, which handles carefully the QFP100 packaged circuits during the positionning pick-up and sorting phase. This test bench provides an autonomy of 660 chips.
