Overview
The E84 Emulator provides an automated method to test the active and passive E84 interfaces on
semiconductor processing equipment. The emulator utilizes a software based platform that runs on a PC
running Windows XP, 7, or 10 operating systems. This software provides the graphical user interface
(GUI) and the control algorithms. The
E84 Emulator provides the hardware required to interface with the
active or passive process equipment. The E84 Emulator interfaces with the laptop computers USB port.
The E84 Emulator performs automated E84 interface testing following pre-defined industry standard test
plans. These test plans provide a means of verifying the E84 compliance of both active and passive
process equipment. All defined handoff sequences are supported, including Single, Simultaneous and
Continuous modes.
E84 Emulator Application Version 2.4a requires a USB Interface E84 Emulator whose hardware has been
