Welcome to the
Roos Instruments Inc.
RI7100C "CASSINI"
RF ATE System
Basic Training Seminar
The objective of this seminar is to provide Operators, Maintainers, and Test Engineers, the information needed to operate the RI7100C "CASSINI" Automated Test Equipment (ATE) in a production environment, handle daily troubleshooting tasks, perform routine system maintenance, calibrate Test Fixtures and Device Interfaces, design efficient Test Programs, debug Test Program operation, and perform correlation to the RI RF/Microwave ATE System.
Each Chapter is arranged to progress through the topic, but the in class presentation will jump around, introducing elements from different chapters as they make the most sense to a developer working with the test system.
The manual is available online at http://roos.com/manuals (user account required for access)
