ASA Corp. Adds No-Cost Fully Buffered DIMM Compliance Test For M1-OT
ASA today announced the publication of a no-cost test script for their M1 Oscilloscope Tools software
family that enables FB-DIMM compliance testing on Tektronix, Agilent, LeCroy or Yokogawa oscilloscopes.
Amherst, MA USA…. June 12, 2008
Amherst Systems Associates Inc (ASA Corp.) today announced the release of a TestScript for
the Fully Buffered DIMM specification (JEDEC Standard 8-18) for their M1-OT product family. The
TestScript is available to any M1-OT customers for immediate download from the ASA web site at
www.M1OT.com/testscripts.htm
The FB-DIMM TestScript will test for compliance of the regular and “clean” reference
clocks per the specification, as well as the PLL. It will also test the receiver input
and the transmitter output for compliance to the JEDEC 8-18 standard. These tests are
backed by M1 OT’s powerful analysis engine, including SEEj RjDj decomposition. Coupled
with efficient and easy reporting, this provides a strong automated solution for your FB-DIMM testing needs.
ASA President Mike Williams noted “When I checked in with my sales team on Monday morning, they
noted that a customer had inquired whether we had a TestScript for FB-DIMM or not. We didn’t,
so I grabbed one of my engineers and told him to fix that. Thanks to M1’s rapid automation capability,
he was able to put that together with just a few hours of effort.”
Williams added, "While clicking an FB-DIMM script together isn't really the level of inventive
contribution we brag about after work.. the rapid automation capability we've built into M1 is.
Our automation approach.. ScriptBuilder... allows any customer to do this kind of thing quickly
themselves inside of M1. They can have the test or the automation the same day they decide they
want it. It eliminates the bottleneck created by relying on the scope companies to do this. I'm
guessing there are already M1 customers out there that have created their own FB-DIMM script in
M1, since it's pretty much read-and-click from the spec. The automation abilities in M1 provide
an open solutions architecture for compliance test users and authors that puts the power to rapidly
prototype and share any series of measurements they might need to make. And if M1 doesn't have
one of the measurements already onboard... very, very unlikely by the way... you just create
that in M1's MeasurementBuilder and you're off to the races."
M1’s FB-DIMM TestScript now provides customers a common testing process independent from specific
manufacturer oscilloscope tests from Tektronix, Agilent, and LeCroy. ASA’s M1 Oscilloscope Tools
can deliver a more cost-effective option to all scope users, as well as the only product in the
marketplace that can provide correlated results because engineers can now use an analysis engine
that is identical no matter whose scope they are using. Further organizational efficiencies are
contributed by other commonalities such as a common data format, a common interface, and a common
automation standard.
