All-in-one development and analysis tool

For a facility manager the yardstick for optimization could be maximizing the daily production yield, while for a test-engineer it might mean being able to easily define a test setup and have it loaded on each device in the factory in seconds. A tester might be interested in seeing only the result of the measurements, after having started it by 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 these re-quirements by offering each party the possibility to expedite their 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 is only required to characterize the DUT by specifying its ports and the 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 specification to the test (e.g.: parameter to be measured, triggers, etc.) is added step-by-step through a wizard-like guide, which streamlines the workflow and allows the user to save each piece of configuration. This allows to load the configuration again or combine different ones, e.g. importing 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 controls already implemented to drive sequencers, trigger post processing, or even ask for user input. Its 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 to be used 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 by a click, without need for additional configurations, and 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 allows tweaking a setup according to re-al-time observations.
