Note:
MAX allows the user to reset, self-test and self-calibrate (if applicable) any NI hardware. For
VISA instruments (such as Keithley), MAX is shipped with an equivalent
VISA
Test Panels
. In addition,
it gives direct access to these instruments via text-based command strings. These functionalities
usually require that the corresponding full hardware drivers are installed on the host computer (see
SuperFACT Software Installation
)

Operation Mode
SuperFACT can automatically acquire OFET/TFT output and transfer characteristics of a multi-device
substrate by switching between the different channels of a multiplexor, with each channel (pogo)
being connected to a different device. Alternatively, if a manual test fixture is used instead (such as
probe station, manual test board, etc), SuperFACT can be set to acquire a single device at the time.
These two modes of operation are referred to as
Automatic Mode
and
Manual Mode
, respectively.
