To specify the start procedure in the Repeat Measurement Setup dialog box, enter the full path
name of Start_xxxx.exe into the Start Procedure field.
After the repeat measurement is started, this procedure displays the Device ID Entry dialog box
and waits for your input. On the dialog box, enter a string used for the prefix of device_id. After
that, you will see the Start Confirmation dialog box that is used to confirm your wafer setup
status. Load wafer and perform wafer alignment, then click OK on the dialog box. The procedure
moves wafer chuck to the first probing position, checks the prober status, gets the X-Y coordinate
of the probing position, and sets the wafer chuck to the UP position. At last, the procedure
returns the response.
The status is 0 or 1. It is used for the EasyEXPERT repeat measurement stop function. When the
Procedure return condition box is checked in the Repeat Measurement Setup dialog box, the
repeat measurement will be stopped if status is not 0.
The device_id is a string for the Device ID of the test result record. When the Automatically fill in
Device ID box is checked in the Repeat Measurement Setup dialog box, the device_id will be
entered to the Device ID of the test result record.
If you use the subsite procedure, the flowchart must be changed. See page 7-18.
Note:
To ignore the Arguments, set the GPIB address and log file name in the prober_info.ini.
