Multi-Metrics

Description:
Multi-Metrics is a collection of electronic instruments integrated into a small desktop box. Instruments are accessed through front panel jacks or ribbon cables, and are controlled by computer using a USB interface and software GUI's and API's.

Applications include:
* All-In-One benchtop instrumentation for product development & general purpose lab work.
* Fully automatic ATE test system with binning, datalogs, and summaries.
* Local or remote reliability monitoring & burn-in testing.
* System, sub-system, and component characterization & final testing

Three Software Packages:
* GUI organizes instrument groups with tabs, or use individual windows.
* ATE GUI automatically sequences through tests using min/max limits for pass/fail binning.
* API's for C/C++ and Python with static libraries for custom applications.
This software is open sourced. Code and example programs are included.

Instruments include:
Analog:
* 2 Source Measurement Units (SMU), with 4-wire connectivity and high precision 0.05% accuracy. ±10V, ±500mA.
* 4 Fixed Power Supplies +3.3V at 2A, +5V at 2A, and ±15V at ±1A.
* 4 Programmable Voltage Sources DAC1 to DAC4, ±10V.
* High-Precision 24-bit DVM and PGA with gains of ¼ to 128 in binary steps.

Digital:
* 16 General-Purpose Input / Output drivers & receivers (GPIO).
* 8 open drain relay drivers (OD).
* Programmable Pulse Generator (PULSE), 20 nsec (50 MHz) to more than a minute, with programmable burst mode, gated through GPIO drivers.
* 2-channel Time Interval Counter (TIC), 10 nsec resolution, via GPIO receivers.

Serial:
* I2C serial port (I2C), is programmed easily in a grid.
* SPI serial port (SPI), uses flexible all 4 clock modes.
* UART serial port (UART) with programmable baud rates, parity, etc.
