Prober error?

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 True or False. 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 = True.

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 11-18.

Note: To ignore the Arguments, set the GPIB address and log file name in the prober_info.ini.
