Figure 4 shows test results stored for Tool ID TOOL001A. The
folder for TOOL001A contains two different test results, one
from a Cycle Test, the other from a Emulator Test Suite test.
The filename for the Cycle test is CY000001.DAT, which
indicates it is the first CYCLE test saved for TOOL001A. The
.DAT extension indicates it is a binary file that is formatted for
use with the GCI E84 Analysis Application. A second file of
the same name, with a .TXT extension, contains additional test details in a formatted ASCII report. This
file can be viewed with any text editor.
The filename for the Emulator Test Suite is TS000001.DAT, which indicates it is the first Test Suite test saved
for TOOL001A.
If another Cycle or Test Suite test was saved, the index number would be incremented. The file time-
stamp indicates when the test results were stored, and can be used as a method of determining the
desired file when viewing on the PC.
Tool ID File Format
Tool ID files can be created using a text editor (Notepad) on the PC. Simply create a file with the
following format, and save it to the HHT_DATA folder on a SD Card. If the SD Card has not been used
previously with an HHT, you must first create the HHT_DATA folder.
Figure 5 shows the Tool ID File Format. The file should contain 9 lines of text. Each line contains a
specific piece of information about the Tool, and is terminated with a carriage return.
Line 1: Tool Name - maximum of 8 characters. This will also be the
name of the file, with a .TXT extension. The Tool Name is
used as the filename, and the name of the folder where
test results will be stored, therefor the name cannot contain
the following characters: \/:*?"<>|.
Line 2: Tool Location - maximum 20 characters. This is a free
format text string that can be used to define the location of
the Tool in the FAB (i.e. bay number, EFEM number).
Line 3: Tool Details - maximum 100 characters. This is a free
format text string that can be used to describe the Tool.
This can include Tool manufacturer, tool type, etc.
Line 4: Number of Cycle Test Results stored (set to zero for newly created Tool ID files).
Line 5: Number of Electrical Test Results stored (set to zero for newly created Tool ID files).
Line 6: Number of IR Transceiver Test Results stored (set to zero for newly created Tool ID files).
Line 7: Number of Strip Chart (manual) Results stored (set to zero for newly created Tool ID files).
Line 8: Number of DLD Log Files stored (set to zero for newly created Tool ID files).
Line 9: Number of Emulator Test Suite Results stored (set to zero for newly created Tool ID files).
Save the file to the HHT_DATA folder on the SD Card. The filename should be the same as the Name
string (line 1), with a .TXT extension.
