Averna, a test company in Montreal, is introducing the Proligent 4.0 test engineering platform to help test engineers develop and deploy test systems for eventual off-site deployment. The software has remoting capabilities such as data buffering, unique identifier management, and enhanced compatibility with NI TestStand 4.0. Proligent 4.0 incorporates data buffering to safeguard against network failures and latencies. The central server limits data transfer, releasing information only after remote station nodes receive it to ensure data integrity. The identifier management capability enables engineers to generate a distinct product ID, such as a MAC address or serial number, for each unit or subcomponent under test. By managing the identifier centrally, they can be produced sequentially across several test sites, with no duplication, which helps track products independently, even when test systems are deployed to several contract manufacturer or EMS provider sites. This feature is particularly useful in multivendor networks, such as when MAC addresses are being issued. For more information, visit Averna online at www.averna.com.
