The availability of form, fit, function (FFF) replacement instrument solutions offers a viable path for extending the life cycle of automatic test systems and preserving the investment in associated test programs. And for those applications where a significantly large number of active TPSs are involved, the FFF approach offers the only real viable solution. By employing a FFF replacement solution, test system maintainers are able to extend the life cycle of ATE and the associated test program sets as well as improve performance and reliability of both the ATE and the test programs.
