Teradyne Introduces GRADE-X OTX Editor for Interoperable Automotive Diagnostics

Defense News: NORTH READING, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teradyne (NYSE:TER - News) introduced today the GRADE-X™ OTX Editor, an authoring environment for the emerging ISO13209 Open Test eXchange (OTX) standard, at the CTI conference in Stuttgart, Germany. Built on the widely used GRADE-X diagnostics platform, the GRADE-X OTX Editor enables users to create, edit and test diagnostic sequences that can be reused across design, manufacturing and service groups and thereby help automotive companies improve diagnostic effectiveness and reduce costs.

The GRADE-X OTX Editor is a powerful graphical authoring environment that stores data in the native OTX format (a dialect of XML). The new tool offers automatic layout for OTX documents from any source and allows for specification and implementation views while providing protection from schema changes. It can be used as a stand-alone tool used to create and modify tests or be integrated into complete toolsets, like the GRADE-X Diagnostic Toolset. Teradyne has shipped multiple platforms to automotive customers in Europe.

“The GRADE-X OTX Editor enables our customers to leverage the power of OTX today, while insulating them from future changes to the ISO standard,” said Brian Westhead, OTX Editor architect, Teradyne. “Our editor helps authors create complex, reusable test sequences without worrying about programming or XML formats.”

Teradyne Names Huawei 2008 Strategic Technology Partner

NORTH READING, Mass.-- September 2, 2009, (BUSINESS WIRE)--Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE:TER - News), the industry’s leading manufacturer of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) test and inspection systems, has named Huawei its 2008 “Strategic Technology Partner.” Huawei is a leading provider of next-generation telecommunication solutions for companies around the world. Its key contract manufacturing suppliers have ordered multiple Teradyne TestStation™ LH systems during the first half of 2009 to test Huawei’s latest generation, 3G telecommunication equipment.
Huawei, a long-time customer of Teradyne, has leveraged the capabilities of Teradyne’s TestStation LH in-circuit test systems to test advanced PCB technologies. Huawei values the TestStation’s unique SafeTest™ protection technology which safely tests their low-voltage, state-of-the-art digital devices. The system’s flexible architecture allowed Huawei to customize a boundary scan test solution to meet their specific needs. And the high accuracy instruments and dedicated system controller provide exceptional diagnostic accuracy and test throughput.
“Huawei has been a valuable partner to Teradyne over the last several years,” said David Hyer, general manager, Teradyne Commercial Board Test group. “They have provided input on new features for TestStation development and worked closely with Teradyne’s engineering group in development and verification of new product releases. Without this help, we would not have such a complete solution in test program development and production. Huawei has been especially helpful in improving the ‘user friendliness’ of our products for the Asian market. We’re proud to name Huawei our 2008 Strategic Technology Partner.”
“Huawei is able to ensure that it has a robust supply chain able to fully support its efforts in transforming All-IP networks for the future,” said Richard Zhuang, manager of Huawei's Test & Auto Test Equipment Department.
