Application Specific Software Designed in Close Association with Load Board Designers

Load Board provides tools to automate the design and documentation of all Device Under Test (DUT) Load Boards. Netlists are quickly converted or created using powerful wizards. A special system graphically allocates tester resources to DUT pins. 

Complex test sockets or BGA patterns are generated quickly through parametric part creation programs. Advanced split ground plane capabilities make creating complex plane boundaries easy. Full ground plane generator adds thermals, reliefs and ties to each plane simultaneously. Fully automatic routing programs allow length tuning using trombone or accordion tuners. 

Key Features Include:

1. Intelligent control over assigning tester resources to DUT pins
   
   

2. Automatic tuning programs using trombone or accordion tuning sections
   
   

3. Automatic via array on test sockets and BGA patterns
   
   

4. Automatic prerouting of large BGA sockets including routing of differential lines using the minimum number of layers
   
   

5. Automatic creation of split and embedded negative planes including thermals and trace reliefs with airgap control by net, by block or by net/block
   
   

6. Electrical characteristics calculations including resistance, capacitance, inductance and delay
