The Agilent 3070 / 79000 family systems must include
a testhead and a controller. In addition, the 307X
systems include a support bay and either type of system
may include a POTS bay, a Quick Verify functional test
bay, test development centers, test development stations,
and peripherals. The testhead and support bay will
require the greatest site preparation effort.
Figure 2-1 on page 2-3 shows a 307X Series I system
with a control bay. It includes a 4-module (maximum)
testhead and a support bay.
Figure 2-2 on page 2-4 shows a 317X Series I system. It
includes a 2-module (maximum) testhead and no
support bay or control bay.
Figure 2-3 on page 2-5 shows a 307X Series II system.
It includes a 4-module (maximum) testhead with a
support bay. The 317X Series II system (not shown)
looks the same as the 307X Series II, but does not have a
support bay. The 327X (not shown) is a physically
smaller version of the 307X Series II, having only one
module.
The main difference between the 3070 Series I and the
3070 Series II systems is the latter has twice the test pin
capability, and in the Series II the controller is mounted
in the testhead pod. The Series II systems also have
redesigned testheads which include space for more
equipment.
Figure 2-4 on page 2-6 shows a 3070 Series 3 system
which uses an HP-UX controller.
Agilent 3070 / 79000 Site Preparation
The 3070 Series 3 systems are shorter in length than the
Series II, has a choice of two faster HP-UX controllers,
has new covers with new colors, uses a flat panel
display and optionally have vacuum valves mounted in
the testhead. The controller is moved to the right pod
with the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) and the left pod
is eliminated.
Figure 2-5 on page 2-7 shows a 3070PC Series 3
system. The right pod is slightly larger to make room for
the Visualize P-Class PC which utilizes the Windows
NT operating system.
Figure 2-6 on page 2-8 shows an Agilent 79000
Functional Test Systemis which is a one-module test
system with an E1421A 6-slot VXI mainframe in the
second module position. The DUT power supplies are
moved to the pod on the left end of the cradle.
