1. Getting Started

A. Introduction

The RTX2300 Smart ATE is a highly optimized automated test solution for calibration and
functional test in the production of wireless devices (including DECT, GSM, Wi-Fi, Blue­tooth™, etc.). The design of the RTX2300 is based on extensive experience within devel­opment and installation of Automated Test Equipment (ATE) systems, and hence, key
parameters as handling-time, flexibility and size have been considered as part of the design
process.

The RTX2300 Smart ATE is a multipur pose solution to simplify and cost-reduce the pro­duction test environment dramatically compared to traditional “rack and stack” wireless
test implementations. The RTX2300 reduces the complexity and size of the ATE system
through the inclusion of mo dular instrumentation internal to the test unit, including a digital
volt meter, tone generator, and signal multiplexer. Optional internal instrumentation
includes a programmable power supply, and a frequency counter. These components allow
for the calibration and test of the baseband and audio portions of a Device Under Test
(DUT) without the need for additional external equipment.

The flexible nature of the RTX2300 Smart ATE enables a swift physical reconfiguration and
it can streamline th e manufacturing process, since in literally a matter of seconds, it can
be physically reconfigured to accommodate different products and test types. The RF
shielded compartment of the RTX2300 can be customized with a device-specific probe
fixture, including a pneumatic capture unit to automatically hold the DUT in place during
test. Furthermore, the RTX2300 can decrease overall product test time since it has been
designed to allow several units to be set up in parallel, enabling optimal use of RF, base­band, acoustic test resource, and effectively reducing the handling time of the DUTs.

The RTX2300 Smart ATE can be used for Printed Circuit Board (PCB) as well as final product
testing. It features a customization area that enables the interco nnection betwee n internal
and external measurement functionality and the DUT, hence reducing both space
requirements and complexity for the total test system. The flexibility of the RTX2300
simplifies the customization of the test platform, and enables economical replication. A
production test system can be implemented by using one or more RTX2300 Smart ATE
units in combination with an RF communication test e r (s uch a s the RTX2011/RTX2012 HS
DECT/DECT 6.0/CAT-iq RF Tester or Agilent 8960) and a PC for executing the test appli­cation.

• Rear panel Connectors

• Internal Connectors

o Shielded Fixture Bay Connectors
o Controller Chamber Connectors

• Front Panel Functions

Each of these categories will be descibed in more detail in the following.

i. Rear Panel Connectors

The RTX2300 Smart ATE provides rear panel inputs/outputs for many functions. Below a
brief overview of the available connectors is provided alon g with a description of each of
the connectors.

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 13

Available rear panel

• AUX Port (): Connector (type 25-pin DSUB female) for external acquisition unit
measurement channels (e.g. Agilent 34970A or similar). For a detailed pin
description please refer to section

v on page 112. Th e AUX Port can be used for
connecting external measurement equipment to the DUT, and it provides the fol­lowing internal routing:

o 10 voltage measurement channels (20 wires) are routed to the Customized

Connector Block (CCB) selection matrix (for more information regarding the
CCB block please see chapter 5)

o One channel (2-wire) for current measurement is routed directly to the

Standard Connector Block (SCB) matrix (for more information regarding the
SCB block please see chapter 5)

o One channel from the internal AD converter can be routed to the acquisition

unit

• Ground connector (): This ground connector is used for connecting all instru­mentation together to avoid ESD problems.

• CLK Port (): Connector (type SMA female) for connecting to external equipment.
The port has the following functions:

o DUT CLK output to external frequency counter (e.g. Agilent 53181A)
o 10MHz reference in (a reference signal from an extern al source is used as

reference for the optional internal frequency counter to measure the DUT
Clock)

o 10MHz reference out (a source signal from the optional internal frequency

counter and to external equipment)

• USB Interface (): This interface should be used together with a Windows®
based PC to control the test set and to query data from the test set. The USB
interface on the RTX2300 unit is a Type B receptacle, and hence, a standard USB
cable with Type A-B plugs can be used to connect the RTX2300 unit to a PC. Please
note that the external USB connector is internally connected to a 7-port USB HUB
to provide both USB connection and a serial connection. Furthermore, 4 of these
ports are available as USB ports for the 4 expansion slots. The USB ports support
USB 1.1.

• LAN/PSTN () (optional): This connector (RJ45 type) is optional and is a con­nector for Ethernet testing options. Furthermore, this connector can also be used

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 20

i. Digital AC & DC Voltmeter (DVM)

The DVM is divided into two parts – an AC part and a DC part. The DC part is an 8-channel
digital voltmeter with an operational range from -10V to 10V in 10mV steps. It can operate
in two modes (static / differential) and it supports a wide range of scale configurations.

The AC par t is a 2-channel digital voltmeter. It can operate in static or differential mode
and it can be configured to measure RMS or peak value. A built-in attenuator enables
attenuation of the input signals and distortion measurements are also supported. Please
refer to the formula for THD outlined in section v on page 131.

ii. Tone Generator

The RTX 2300 has tree signal generators – one with high-level output and two with low­level outputs. The two low-level outputs can be confi gured to operate in differential mode.
The level, frequency an d confi guratio n of the g enerators can be changed from the SW API.

iii. Signal multiplexer

The RTX2300 Basic unit has 8 relays for signal switching. They are all available through
the option matrix (i.e. the customization connectors) and can be routed to the CCB con­nectors. Each relay has two sets of contacts.

In addition to the relays there are 16 connections to the expansion slots. These connections
can be used to route signals from the option-board in the expansion slot to the test bed
via the option matrix.

iv. GPIO

The RTX2300 Smart ATE has 16 digital output ports (8 sink outputs an 8 source outputs)
and 8 digital input ports. The port state of all ports can be controlled and read from the
SW API. The 8 digital inputs are 5V TTL logic and the sink and source outputs are as
outlined below.

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 21

In addition to the digital input and output ports the RTX2300 also includes two DACs.
Please note that these DACs are only intended for DC values (i.e. they do not support audio
signalling).

v. Main functional blocks in the RTX2300

From a functional perspective the functionality of the RTX2300 Smart ATE can be divided
into the following categories:

• Fixture and box control

• Power supply

• Communication interfaces

Each of these categories will be outlined in more detail in the followin g.

Fixture and box control

To control the fixture fu nctionality the following signals are av a ilable:

• 4 sense signals (e.g. for detecting fixture position)

• 4 control signals (e.g. for motor or relay control)

• 1 signal for controlling the lid closing mechanism

• Signals for controlling the pneumatic slide is available through a pin header

connector

Power supply

The main power supply for the RTX2300 Smart ATE unit is a 12V external switch-mode
adaptor connected to the power-plug. This adaptor supplies all the internal circuitry
including the installe d modules. By adding an optional Programmable PSU module to the
RTX2300 unit the DUT can also be powered through the RTX2300. A more detailed
description of this optional module is given on page 82. An alternative way to supply the
DUT with power is to connect an external power supply to the DUT Ext. Power connector
on the rear panel of the RTX2300 (see figure below). The power supply to use for the DUT
can be controlled from the SW API.

Communication interfaces

The RTX2300 Smart ATE is equipped with one USB connector which serves as the only
communication interface between the PC with th e test applicat ion and the RTX2300 unit.
Inside the RTX2300 the USB connection is split into 7 USB ports through in an internal full
speed USB Hub. Furthermore, a serial communication port is available for DUT com­munication – i.e. the following communication interfaces are supported at the DUT:

• Four USB ports are available for the expans ion-slots (i.e. one for each slot)

• One USB port is converted to a UART for communication channel to the RTX2300

main board CPU

• One USB port is used as communication channel to the CCB

• One USB port is used as communication channel to the DUT (i.e. from the PC with

the test program directly to the DUT) through the SCB

Expansion slot USB interfaces

Each expansion slot (except the PSU module slot) is configured with a separate USB
connection, and hence, these are used for communicating with the installed modules.

RTX2300 control interface

This interface is used for communication to control the functions in the RTX2300 unit.

CCB USB interface

This interface is a general-purpose USB connection and it is connected directly to the CCB
interface.

SCB USB interface

This interface is a general-purpose USB connection and it is connected directly to the SCB
interface.

DUT serial communication configuration

To communicate with the DUT the RTX2300 has an UART for serial communication. Seen
from the PC the UART is a USB com-port. The UART is implemented as outlined below and
it has automatic level detection.

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 23

Simplified DUT UART Port

As indicated in the figure above the UART has tree modes (can be controlled from SW):

• Disabled - In Disabled mode the UART is disconnected from the DUT. This is the
default mode after power up of the RTX2300.

• Normal - In Normal mode th e UART is connected to the DUT and ready for com­munication.

• Boot-mode - In boot-mode the RX-line is connected to ground-level to bring th e
DUT in boot-mode (RTX equipment). When the DUT is in boot-mode the UART must
be set to “Normal” before communication can be established.

E. Installing RTX2300 Options

As mentioned before, optional components for the RTX2300 are available – these can be
categorized into four different categories:

• Modules

• Quick-Swap Kit

• Fixture Kits

• Connectivity options

Installation of the firs t three categories will be outlined in more detail in the following.

i. Installing modules

The modules are installed in the controller chamber, and hence, the lid to the controller
chamber must be removed (see figure below). Please use a screwdriver to remove the four
screws holding the lid.

Removing the four screws holding the controller chamber lid

After removing the lid, the controller chamber is now accessible and the extra module(s)
can be installed in the empty extension slots (see figure below). Please be aware that the
right most connector is different from the other four connectors. This connector is reserved
for the programmable PSU module. Please make sure to install the module correctly in the
connector – i .e. with t he front s ide of t he modul e (i.e. the top-side of the PCB with all main
components mounted) pointing to the right. To ensure correct operation of the module
please also make sure to press the module tightly into the connector on the controller
board.

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 25

tighten the four screws holding the lid. To use the modules from the test program a SW
package installation might be necessary. For more details on this issue please refer to the
specific module descriptions in chapter 4.

ii. Installing Quick-Swap Kit

The Quick-Swap Kit (QSK) is divided into two parts – a fixture bay part and a fixture part.
Installation of each of these parts will be outlined in the following.

Installing the fixture bay part of the Quick-Swap Kit

The first step is to remove the fixture part (if installed) to gain access to the fixture bay.
Place the QSK in the fixture bay close to the standard DSUB (male) connectors in the
fixture bay and connect the DSUB connectors on the QSK to the standard connectors in
the fixture bay. Please ensure tha t the connectors are connected correctly.

Next step is to connect the two p neuma tic conn ec tors o n t he QSK to th e con necto r s in the
fixture bay. When all connectors have been connected please mount the four spacers
(included in the QSK fixture bay part package) in the fixtur e bay a nd p lace the QSK o n top
of the spacers. Please ensure that the spacers are tightened. Mount and tighten the four
screws (also included in the QSK fixture bay part package) to fasten the QSK on top of the
spacers.

Installing the Quick-Swap Kit (fixture bay part)

Installing the fixture part of the Quick-Swap Kit

To enable easy installation of the fixture part QSK a new fixture plate should be used (i.e.
without any connectors or other equipment installed). However, the installation steps
outlined below should apply to all fixtures, but it could be necessary to remove some of
the items installed on th e fixture.

The first step is to mount the QSK spacers (included in the QSK fixture part package) on
the fixture. Place the QSK on top of the spacers. Mount and tighten the four screws as
shown in the figure below.

Please note that only the SCB connector, CCB connector and one of the connectors on the
top side of the QSK are mounted, and hence, connecting the QSK interface to the fixture
pins must also be done. This is, however, outside the scope of this section but for more
information on customizing the fixture please refer to chapter 6 (especially section D on
page 115).

iii. Installing a fixture kit

The first step is to remove the fixture part (if installed), hence unlocking the two locks on
each side of the fixture and removing it fro m the RTX2300 unit. The next step is to prepare
the new fixture and mount it in the fixture bay.

Installing a fixture kit in the RTX2300 Smart ATE unit

The installation process defers slightly depending on whether or not a QSK has been
installed:

With QSK installed:

If a QSK has been installed the installation process i s quite straightforward. Just make sur e
the (pneumatic, CCB and SCB) connectors on the fi x tur e QSK part are connected p r o perly
to the fixture bay part QSK connectors and secure the fixture by locking the two fixture
locks.

It is recommended that following steps are followed to mount the fixture insert into the
fixture bay of the RTX2300 unit.

1) The fixture must have a guide-pin (see picture 1)
mounted at each corner opposite to the quick-swap­connectors of the fixture insert.

2) In the fixture bay are there two guide-holes (see picture 2) in which the guide-
pins in which the guide-pins must fit.

Picture 1

Picture 2

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 29

3) The mounting of the fixture insert in
the fixture bay must begin with an
alignment of the guide-pins with the
guide-holes (see picture 3).
When the guide-pins and holes are
aligned the connectors can be pressed
in place (see picture 4)

Without QSK installed:

To connect a fixture without a QSK installed the connectors on the fixture must be
connected directly to the standard interface in the fixture bay. If the fixture includes a
pneumatic slide the pneumatic tubes must be connected to the pneumatic connectors on
the back panel of the fi xture bay (see the figure on page 14 for an overview of the standard
fixture bay connectors). The next step is to connect the fixture SCB and CCB connectors
to the connectors in the bottom of the fixture bay. Please make sure to connect the fixture
correctly and secure the fixture by locking the two fixture locks.

C. RTX EAI Port Server

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 45

The RTX EAI Port Server is a central element in the communication channel between the
RTX2300 unit and the RTX2300 Detective debug SW. Since only parts of the functionality
provided by the RTX EAI Port Server is required in the RTX2300 system, the applicat ion
will only be described briefly in the following. The most important parts are the Transport
Layer selection on the General tab and the settings (specifically Port, Stop bits, Parity
and RTS Input Flow Control) on the UART tab.

i. Setup - General Page Overview

The user interface always opens with the General page displayed (see below ) and the
main functionality that can be set through this page is related to the transport interface
and logging. it is only necessary to check that the transport layer is set to UART (default
value), and hence, the rest of the functionality is not needed for normal operation of the
RTX2300.

The General page contains the following panels:

3. Using the RTX2300 Windows SW

A. Introduction

In this chapter, the focus is on using the supplied RT X2300 SW. The following items of
information will be described:

• Using the RTX2300 Detective debug application – This section includes im-

portant items of information in relation to launching the RTX2300 Detective appli­cation. Moreover, a brief description of how to use the application when debugging
customization cards is also included.

• Performing unit tests with the RTX2300 – This section includes a brief de-

scription on how to perform unit tests with the RTX2300.

B. Using the RTX2300 Detective debug application

This paragraph outlines how to launch and use the RTX2300 Detective debug application.
Prior to launching the RTX2300 Detective debug application, please ensure that:

• The RTX2300 Detective debug application has been correctly installed on your PC
(as part of the RTX2300 Basic Unit SW package)

• The RTX2300 unit is connected to your PC using the USB interface

• The RTX2300 unit is switched on

• The RTX EAI Port Server has been correctly conf igured

It is strongly emphasized here that it is crucial to configure the RTX EAI Port
Server correctly. Hence, if an error is encountered when launching the RTX2300 Detec-

tive debug application it is mo st likely related to an erroneous configuration of the port
server. Please refer to paragraph i in this section for instructions on how to configure the
RTX EAI Port Server correctly (i.e. select the correct transport layer, setup the correct COM
port and other communication settings).

i. Configuring the RTX EAI Port Server (REPS)

The RTX EAI Port Server (REPS) is started automatically when needed by the RTX2300
DLL. It can also be started manually by selecting the RTX EAI Port Server from the
Start->All Programs menu (specific location depends on the location entered under in­stallation of the REPS – default is Start->All Programs->RTX). Once started the REPS
will run in minimized mode and a RTX EAI Port Server icon will appear in the notification
area of the Windows task bar (as shown in the figure below).

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 71

The Setup window can be opened by selecting Setup in the context menu. To open the
context menu move the cursor to the REPS icon and click on the right mouse button (see
below).

Select Setup by clicking the left mouse button and the RTX EAI Port Server Configu-
ration window should now appear (see below).

Select the UART radio button on the General tab to select the UART Transport Layer and
click OK. Next select the UART tab and select the correct COM port to use for
communicating with the RTX 2300 and ens ure that the fol lowing is set (as al so indicated i n
the figure below):

• Speed (bps) is set to 115200

• Stop bits set to 1 stop bit

• Automatic RTS input flow control set to Automatic

In this example COM port number 7 is the correct port number but it is strongly emphasized
here that the correct COM port number is related to a specific PC and the COM port number
of the installed RTX2300 Basic Unit Communication Interface driver must be checked in
the Windows Device Manager (steps on how to do this is given later in this paragraph).

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 72

Press OK and the REPS should now be able to communicate with the RTX2300 (if connected
to the PC and the correct COM settings have been entered). The RTX2300 Smart ATE unit
should therefore now be ready for use.

As mentioned above it is crucial to configure the REPS correctly – i.e. using the correct
communication settings and COM port. To figure out which COM port to use for RTX2300
unit communication the available ports on the PC needs to be checked in the Windows
Device Manager. To open the Device Manager please refer to the steps outlined below.

 Select Settings from Start button. Select Control Panel.

If the drivers have been correctly installed and the RTX2300 unit is connected to the PC
the list should include the two indicated COM ports for the RTX2300 Basic Unit Communi­cation Interface and the RTX2300 DUT UART, respectively. Pleas e note that the RTX2300
Basic Unit Communication Interface is available through COM port number 7 on this PC,
and hence, this is the port number to use in the REPS configuration.

ii. Launching and use of the RTX2300 Detective application

Launching RTX2300 Detective

After checking that the REPS configuration is correct the RTX2300 Detective debug appli­cation can be launched. The RTX2300 Detective application can be launched either through

All Programs->RTX->Rtx2300->Basic->Detective (see below) or by double clicking the
Detective.exe file in a windows explorer (default location is C:\Program
Files\RTX\Rtx2300\Basic).

The RTX2300 Detective application should start-up after a few seconds and the main ap­plication window shou ld appear (see figure below).

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 75

Please notice the green indicator in the b ottom right corner. This indicat es that the con­nection to the RTX2300 unit has been established. Please note that the status for the
connection can be seen in the Status page in REPS (see below).

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 76

Using the RTX2300 Detective application for debugging purposes

The RTX2300 Detective application is an essential tool when debugging for example
customization boards or performing specif ic measurements on DUT test points. From this
application the user has complete control over the functional blocks of the RTX2300, and
hence, for example the signal routing can be effectively controlled by switching internal
relays. Furthermore, the support for monitoring of internal RTX2300 signals also makes
the Detective application valuable debug tool.

The RTX2300 Detective application is quite straightforward to use, and furthermore, the
specific usage of the application depends to a large extent on the configuration and usage
of the RTX2300 unit itsel f. Conse quentl y, it is not p ossi ble to prov ide exact instructions on
how to use the application but in general terms a debugging procedure typically inv olves
three steps:

1. Execute steps (i.e. the test program) to bring the DUT into the correct state – i.e.
the state in which measurements should be performed

2. Configure the signal path by switching the correct relays in the RTX2300 through
the RTX2300 Detective application

3. Perform measurements with the RTX2300 Detective application

To illustrate how to use the RTX 2300 De tective applica tion using the three step debugging
approach outlined abov e a small example will be included below. The example will not
include any screen dumps but instead refer to the relevant RTX2300 Detective pages and
selections.

In this example it is assumed that the test program will put a DC voltage on a test point
and that the task is to check the DC voltage at th e test p oint (see figure below). Further­more, it is assumed that the test setup is correctly connected and operating (i.e. the DUT
is placed in the fixture and ready for testing).

Example – setup for measurement of DC voltage at a test point

The first step is to execute the test program (from the connected PC) to bring the DUT into
the correct state – i.e. so that the DC voltage will be set at the test point. Next the RTX2300
Detective application is started and the relevant relays are set in the Relay panel of the

Output category on the IO page (i.e. the startup page of the RTX2300 Detective

RTX2300 unit

PC with test program

and RTX2300 Detective

application). To measure th e DC voltage at th e t est p oin t , go to the Ad/Da page (i.e. the
DC DVM functionality) and check the measured DC voltage in the Adc panel . Please ensure
to use the correct range configuration. If the DUT should output say 1.55V at the test
point, the measured value in the Adc pane should be 1.55V.

C. Performing unit tests with the RTX23 0 0

Performing unit tests with the RTX2300 requires as a minimum a RTX2300 unit and a PC
with the test application along with a DUT. Furthermore, in a typical test setup for wireless
devices an RF tester is also included in the test system (see the figure below). Additional
components are typically not needed since the RTX2300 includes all the necessary basic
functional blocks and extension modules can be added if needed.

Example test setup – RTX2300, RTX2012, PC with test application, and a DUT

A central part of the system is the PC test applicatio n. this appl ication controls all aspects
of the test procedure. Please note that the visual appearance of the PC test a pplication
(i.e. the GUI) as well as the test suites must be implemented by the customer since this is
not a part of the RTX2300 SW package. It is therefore strongly emphasized here that the
PC test application described in this section is an e xample only. The main objectives are to
show typical functionality of a PC test application and to provide inspiration for custom PC
test applications. Please note that example PC test application is built on top of the
RTX2300 API, and hence, customers can create test applications with exactly the same
features as the one outlined here. The GUI part of the PC test application can be im­plemented using Java Swing, Microsoft .Net or similar frameworks.

In the following the unit test procedure using the above test setup will be outlined. How­ever, since the detailed unit test procedure to a large extent depends on the specific de­vices to test, the procedure will be outline d in general terms o nly. It is assumed that the
above system is operational and ready for test execution (i.e. all equipment is switched on
and a suitable test suite can be executed from the implemented PC test application).

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 78

The first step is to place the DUT in the fixture and start the test from either the RTX2300
unit (by pressing the start button) or the test application on the PC. The test suite will sta rt
executing and from the PC test applicat ion it is possible to keep track of both the current
test case and the completed test cases. If test cases pass the background of the test cases
will be green and likewise if te st c ases f ail t he bac kg ro un d will b e re d. Be low some screen
dumps from the example PC tes t a pplication are outlined.

The first screen dump s hows a run ning test case – please note the test progress status bar
in the bottom of the page. The test execu tion c an be s toppe d by pre ssing the Stop button
on the PC test application (or on the RTX2300).

The test suite will run for some time hence performing the defined test cas es. Upon com­pletion of the test suite the results can be seen in the PC test application (see the screen
dump below).

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 79

Please notice the items of information in the bottom left of the window regarding passed
test cases. The test suite can be restarted again by pressing the Start button on the PC
application (or on the RTX2300). The two screen dumps above show the flow in normal
mode.

For debugging purposes, it could be feasible to implement some level of debugging func­tionality in the PC test application (or in a separate PC application). The example PC test
application outlined here includes a special debug mode. In this mode the user has access
to some advanced features for debugging purposes. For example, it is possible to enable
single step, hence stepping through a test case one step at a tim e. Furthermore test cases
can also be enabled/disabled on-the-fly. A screen dum p from a running test sui te in debu g
mode is outlined below. Pl ease notice the extra functiona lity in the l eft pane of the wind ow
and the extra Continue button in the bottom of the window.

Below another screen dump with the test application in debug mode is shown. Here the
test suite is almost completed (91% progress) but some of the test cases failed (i.e. indi­cated with the red background). Please note the reason code in th e last line of the test
case information.

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 80

If all test cases in the test suite passed, then the test run was successful. If some of the
test cases failed the reason for this must be identified. Here th e single step feature is a
valuable tool.

4. RTX2300 Smart ATE Options

The basic configuration of the RTX2300 includes a wide range of functionality but it can be
further extended through some options. These options can be categorized into four
different categories:

• Modules (Programmable PSU, frequency counter, RF switch)

• Quick-Swap Kit (fixture bay part and fixture part)

• Fixture Kits (with or without pneumatic slide)

• Connectivity options (RJ45 connection to the DUT and SPI or I2C DUT interface)

The available options in each of the categories will be outlined in more detail in the following
sections. In addition to the options above the RTX2300 can also be delivered without the
shielded lid (option).

A. Modules

The first category is modules and currently four types of optional modules are available:

• Programmable PSU

• Frequency Counter (standard and high-stability)

• RF Switch (4 or 8 channels)

The RTX2300 Smart ATE supports up to five modules (i.e. one PSU and four other mo­dules). The optional modules are inst alle d in t he extension slots in the controller chamber
(see figure below).

C. Fixture Kits

A wide range of fixture kits are available for the RTX2300. The fixture can be delivered
both with and without a pneumatic slide. Furthermore, fixtures with different slide sizes
are also available.

i. Standard Fixture Kit with pneumatic slide

The standard fixture kit with a pneumatic slide is available in three versions with different
pneumatic slide sizes (Ø6, Ø8 or Ø12).

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 85

Standard fixture with pneumatic slide

ii. Standard Fixture Kit without pneumatic slide

The standard fixture plate is the sam e as the one with the pneumatic slide, and hence, the
only difference is that the pneumatic slide is not included in this kit.

D. Connectivity o ptions

Some connectivity options are available for the DUT. Two types of connectivity options
are available – interfaces at the DUT and extra connectors (including added interface
functionality at the DUT) on the rear panel of the RTX2300 unit.

i. DUT Interface

To provide flexible interfaces the RTX2300 supports addition of connectivity options to the
DUT, hence providing a SPI or an I2C interface.

SPI interface to DUT

One of the internal RTX2300 USB interfaces can be converted to a SPI interface which can
be routed to the DUT. The conversion will be made in a SPI interface module card, hence
making use of the USB interface towards the module card to provide the SPI functionality.

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 86

I2C interface to DUT

One of the internal RTX2300 USB interfaces can be converted to a I2C interface which can
be routed to the DUT. the conversion will be made in a I2C interface module card, hence
making use of the USB interface towards the module card to provide the I2C functionality.

ii. Rear panel

An extra RJ45 connector can be added to the RTX2300 unit, hence enabling PSTN/FXO/
FXS testing options.

RJ45 connection

This option includes addition of an RJ45 connector in the empty slot on the rear panel of
the RTX2300 unit. The connector is directly connected to the fixture bay.

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 87

5. Fixture Bay Connector Interfaces

The objective of this chapter is to provide an overview of both the available interfaces in
the fixture bay and a list of pin functions in each connector. Throughout this user manual
SCB and CCB have been mentioned but in the following these two interface blocks will be
described in more detail.

As already mentioned a Quick-Swap Kit (QSK) for the fixture bay is available for the
RTX2300. The QSK consists of both a fixture bay part and a fixture part, and hence, three
different interface levels are available (as indicated in the figure below). Please note that
the CCB interface is connected to the customization output connector in the controller
chamber and the SCB interface is connected to the external AUX Port (providing an
interface for external current measurements).
