All-in-one development and analysis tool

A facility manager's yardstick for optimization might be maximizing daily production yield, while a test-engineer might want to easily define a test setup and have it loaded on each device in a factory in seconds. A tester might want to just see measurement results, after scanning a barcode, while quality managers might find it convenient to be able to download real-time yield statistics on their way to the factory.
The R&S®ZNrun software suite was designed with optimization in mind and acknowledges the requirements needed to expedite workflows as much as possible.

Features & benefits

DUT-centric graphic user interface

The R&S®ZNrun workbench interface focuses on the device under test. The user just characterizes the DUT by specifying the ports and input stimuli.

All tools for test development

The R&S®ZNrun Workbench is one application included in the software suite and is designed for every user whose tasks range from test developing to results analysis.

Streamlined workflow

Every test specification (parameter to be measured, triggers, etc.) is added step-by-step through a wizard-like guide, which streamlines the workflow and allows users to save each piece of configuration. The configuration can be loaded again or different ones combined to import a particular stimulus for a completely new defined DUT.

**R&S®ZNrun workbench: user-friendly tool**

Flexible and customizable

R&S®ZNrun does not require any adaptation of previously implemented controls that drive sequencers, trigger post processing, or even ask for user input. The architecture provides .NET remoting API, a C# plug-in interface and a generic plug-in to support Python code snippets. This ensures the coexistence of existing solutions and R&S®ZNrun. Specify the code in the R&S®ZNrun Workbench plugin section and integrate custom actions into the measurement.

**Integrating external code in workbench**

Uncomplicated control for challenging tests

The R&S®ZNrun Measurement Client is programmed to give operators an interface that contains only the functions they use. The measurement can be started with a click and no need for additional configurations. Only meaningful results such as pass/fail tests can be displayed. The R&S®ZNrun Measurement Client is a client that can be installed where the tests are taking place and allows a straightforward control of the most challenging measurements.

Test tuning

With R&S®ZNRUN-K6 the test engineer has in the R&S®ZNrun Workbench a perfect tool to tune a specific measurement configuration for optimization purposes. The option lets a setup be tweaked using re-al-time observations.
