Before you can execute a Clarius project that uses the
PRBGEN
user library, you must create the
probe list using the appropriate vendor-specific prober-control software. Instructions for creating the
probe list for each supported prober are included in this manual (refer to
The example projects in the following topics describe a typical project setup. However, you can add
and arrange sites, subsites, and prober actions in the project in any order that is appropriate for your
system. The 4200A-SCS runs the items in the project in the order in which they are presented, from
top to bottom. You can also select the starting point for each run. For example, if you highlight a
device, only the tests and actions that are selected and under that device will be used when you
select Run.
If you use a semi-automatic prober, understand that a Clarius probe action only triggers movements
that are already programmed in the prober controller. Each execution of the action advances the
probe to the next site in this programmed sequence. Site numbers are not communicated between
the prober and Clarius. Therefore, if you evaluate multiple sites, the range of site numbers that you
specify in the Clarius Project window must agree with the sequence of site numbers in the prober
controller program.
