Improving Test Throughput
with ASRU Speedup Feature on
the Medalist i3070 Series 5
Application Note
Introduction
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. all Microcontroller
new next-generation Medalist i3070 ADC
Series 5 comes with a new analog detector
stimulus response unit (ASRU revi-
sion N) card along with software
release 08.00p. The ASRU revision
N card not only provides classical
measurement operational amplifier Rref
(MOA) analog measurement capabil-
ity but also includes a new digitized
measurement circuitry (DMC) that DAC
can reduce unpowered analog test source DUT
time. Enabling the DMC for the ana-
log test is called ASRU speedup.

Figure 1: Digitized measurement circuitry (DMC) uses multiple microcontrollers
to process all the measured values simultaneously.
What is ASRU What's Needed to Use ASRU Speedup?
Speedup? The following are required when using the ASRU speedup feature:
ASRU speedup is a new software 1. ASRU revision N card or i3070 Series 5 testers
feature that uses the new DMC 2. Medalist i3070 with minimum software release 08.00p
engine to speed up the testing time. 3. Windows XP based PC Controller
The test source now accepts a new
test option,"as", which is the short Using ASRU Speedup for New Test
form for "ASRU speedup". This test
option will instruct the system to Program Development
measure the device under test (DUT)
with the DMC which employs multiple
