Technology | Customer Value |
Perpetual Focus Tech- nology (PFT) | PFT brings true ease of use and performance to customers by ensuring constant focus of test samples. PFT enhances probe station ease of use, reduces test sample, tip, and optics damage, and reduces probe station maintenance costs. |
True Cal | True Cal takes PFT advantages to the DUT calibration measurement plane, saving time and improving measurement performance for the highest frequency measurements. |
Infinity Focus | Infinity focus technology eliminates the need for cumbersome, obsolete “auto focus” routines. Infinity Focus simplifies operation because operators do not need to constantly adjust optical focus, and speeds up semiautomatic operation because old fashioned “auto focus” routines are not required, saving both setup and automated run times. |
True Guard | True Guard is the only approach that allows proper application of both coaxial and triaxial measurement setups, in a single system. Some probing vendors incorrectly apply driven guard methodology which can skew high frequency measurement data and complicate setups. Incorrect use of guarded technology places the burden of performance on the station operator. |
OS Freedom | Micromanipulator’s unique OS Freedom platform eliminates headaches associated with constant Microsoft OS migrations. This extends probe station life, eliminates down time, and significantly reduces cost of ownership. |
