- Seica will be presenting its electronic test systems at electronica 2024, held in Munich from November 12 to 15.
- On its booth A3 – 459, the Italian company will present its Pilot VX and Compact SL test systems in a fully automated configuration.
Like all the Italian manufacturer’s solutions incorporating the Viva integrated platform (VIP™), Pilot VX and Compact SL testers can be combined on the same line to optimize productivity by selectively configuring the test process to use different technologies to achieve maximum test coverage in minimum test time.
The Pilot VX is equipped with a mechanical architecture and a motion controllers enable reduction, according to Seica, of up to 50% in test time. 12 multi-function test heads provide the capability for double-side probing of up to 44 points simultaneously and a measurement hardware and a new microwave-based measurement technique.

Viva platform saves even more time by enabling the parallelization of different types of tests, and analysis capabilities based on the principles of artificial intelligence can automatically optimize the test flow in run-time.
The FlyPod option extends testing capability even more by specializing a single mobile probe to carry up to 14 channels, enabling access to boundary scan circuits and adding onboard programming capability without any external fixed cables while the FlyStrain™ option can also generate pressure/force topology maps of the device under test.

The Pilot VX is deployable in every phase of today’s product lifecycle, from concept, to design, to prototype, to production. The intrinsic capability of the Pilot VX flying prober to give precise access to all of the points on a first prototype board, coupled with a suite of measurement hardware and software tools, including the PR boost feature with the capability to power the board (up to 2A per probe) with all of the 8 standard electrical probes enables the test and validation of prototypes.
The Compact SL is designed to maximize configurability and customization, satisfying a range of test requirements: from in-circuit, to functional, to combinational, as well as performing other tasks such as onboard programming (OBP).
The test solution on display includes the new ATE Booster module, the latest addition to the suite of options available, designed to maximize LED test capability and OBP performances, while reducing costs by means of optimization of the hardware resources required.

The Mini 80 test solution, part of Seica’s VIVA Integrated Platform (VIP™) will also be on display. A platform to develop customized ICT and functional test benchmarks, it provides a range of integrated instruments, switching matrices and user power supplies. The user has discretion in the choice of configuration and programming languages: the VIP™ platform allows integration of off-the-shelf instrumentation, and test sequences can be developed using the Viva Test Studio environment as well as a wide range of third-party software including LabView©, TestStand©, C, and Python.
Canavisia, a Seica Company, will also be present at Electronica Booth A3-459 with a series of Smart Tools for electronics designers, test and production engineers which can be deployed as stand-alone solutions or embedded in integrated manufacturing systems, whether for small or high-volume production.

DeviceClip is a universal ISP (In-System Programming) programming tool designed for programming all types of semiconductor devices (microcontrollers, serial memories, programmable logic devices) from any semiconductor manufacturer. The solution is modular and can be configured to provide up to 64 parallel, totally independent, multi-protocol ISP channels, and is provided with an embedded control panel compatible with any operating system. Its integrated microcomputer enables DeviceClip to reach the programming speed of any device, and each channel within the module can be configured to support different targets.
Visitors will also see the new LedMeter tool for testing the LEDs which are commonly assembled on electronic boards. This tool measures RGB, Hue, XY chromaticity, color saturation and relative intensity and wave length in nano meters. LedMeter has a modular architecture, based on i2C communication: each control module can manage up to 64 sensors and is available in a TTL <> USB and RS232 version.

All of the solutions on display include Seica’s Viva Next software platform, which is able to provide integration with all aspects of the customer’s manufacturing processes – data collection, traceability, interaction with MES, repair operations – and all of the Next> series systems have Canavisia’s Industrial Monitoring solution on board, for remote monitoring of current and voltage consumption, mains supply, temperature, light indicators and other parameters useful to indicate correct operation, provide information for predictive maintenance…
