TSM 2024 Q3.1 Changes

Learn about new features, behavior changes, and other updates in TSM 2024 Q3.1.

  • Perform tasks before lot testing begins with the PreLotTesting callback sequence. Pre-lot testing tasks include calibration or DIB initialization.
  • View, compare, and modify test limits files in TSM Test Limits Editor.
  • Save and load files that contain configuration presets for production or development. Configuration presets allow you to use the same configuration across multiple stations. You can save and load files with presets for TestStand and TSM. To load or save a presets file, navigate to Semiconductor Module » Configuration Preset.
  • For a given sequence file, TSM notifies you when an instrument in the pin map is missing from the Offline Mode system configuration file.

TSM 2024 Q3 Changes

Learn about new features, behavior changes, and other updates in TSM 2024 Q3.

  • Automatically generate test numbers for Semiconductor Multi Test steps.
  • Raise an alarm when a lead in remote sense measurements disconnects.
  • Raise an alarm when a current or voltage measurement circuit is saturated.
  • Differentiate when a compliance alarm is for an instrument entering a current or voltage compliance state.
  • Control relays with digital output lines of DAQmx devices.
  • Batch configure the data evaluated in Offline Mode for all tests in a Semiconductor Multi Test step.
  • Pause and debug a .NET code module at publish time without freezing the TSM Runtime Data Viewer.
  • View the tester channel information of your STS in the Pin Map Editor.
  • Use new API methods to query alarm status, change its behavior, and report alarm information when an alarm latches.

TSM 2024 Q1 Changes

Learn about new features, behavior changes, and other updates in TSM 2024 Q1.

  • Run TSM with TestStand 2023.
  • Use LabVIEW 2023 Q3 to run TSM examples and tutorials and develop TSM code modules.
  • Use a new API method to enable and disable alarms.
  • View triggered alarms and publish time data in the Runtime Data Viewer.

TSM 2023 Q1 Changes

Learn about new features, behavior changes, and other updates in TSM 2023 Q1.

  • Use the TSM Runtime Data Viewer to see test results and debug issues at runtime.
  • See which alarms were raised during the execution of a test program in the Lot Summary Report.
  • When used with STS Software 23.0 and later, TSM uses the STS blind-mate port names for RF instruments instead of the instrument driver port names. TSM displays the blind-mate port names in the Pin Map Editor and returns the blind-mate port names as the channel names for RF pin queries.
