Engineer Mark Roos founded Roos Instruments with one vision: a high-performance, efficient design for Automated Test Equipment (ATE). The test instruments available then did not have high-frequency measurement capabilities, so the need for a new platform allowed Roos and his team to rethink how an ATE system could work. They found that the way to make a tester more intuitive and efficient was to pare each instrument down to its essentials. One principle became central to the work of each engineer: minimalist design. As inessential components were subtracted, the ones that remained were more focused, and the resulting synergy between hardware and software made for a more intuitive work flow. The end result was an ATE system with industry-leading speed, ease of use, and accuracy in a full range of applications from DC to 81GHz.
Cassini is the culmination of years of research and refinement: the next step in the evolution of ATE. It features an expanded set of capabilities while still keeping to a minimalist design. The result is a more flexible infrastructure which supports a wider range of RF, mixed-signal, and millimeter-wave applications. Cassini and its software work in concert, which helps create complex test plans without increasing complexity of use.

A major breakthrough in ATE architecture
| Operational Efficiency Removing base system overhead creates a feature rich modular environment tailored to the needs of your current production environment. Cost per TIM is on par with benchtop equipment allowing product engineers and operations managers to meet cost per device tested targets in multiple or single site test scenarios. Cassini can be easily updated and reconfigured in the field by swapping out or adding additional TIMs. TIMs simplify spares planning (simply replace the TIM) which reduces Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) to minutes. Enabling, for the first time, Five 9s availability for ATE. |
Infrastructure Options
CASSINI Infrastructures enable 16 Test Instrument Modules along with an Auxiliary rack for standard rack mount instruments. They vary in how many Infrastructure Source slots and TIM slots are available. Each size includes a manipulator arm to interface the Fixture with a handler, a handler interface pod, and a system controller with human interface devices (mouse, keyboard, monitor). Images are not to scale.
