Administration Measurement Instance Admin Version MES 15.82

Introduction

Test Integration (Measurement) application is a flexible, extensible, high-performance software solution designed to be an integration platform between test equipment (AOI, AXI, 5DX, FP, ICT, FCT, System Test, Burn-In, etc.) and MES.

Measurement provides a common gateway for automating simple and complex task chains. It also provides a centralized repository for test parametric data collection and reporting.

Measurement allows engineering to design and build powerful, quick, and error-free mechanisms that automatically perform checks against data available in current or previous test outputs in any MES application.

The basic off-the-shelf solution provides AutoLog mechanisms (to PASS/FAIL UUT - Unit Under Test), test step mapping to symptom codes (allowing Pareto of symptoms, grouping similar faults, etc., as well as link key process indicators to SPC monitored attributes (allowing for a broad range of statistical process control techniques to be used to take actions based on deviations, control charts, CPK analysis, etc.) and test parametric data collection reported DHR (Device History Report). This feature also provides tabular "measures vs. specs" reports that can be imported into Minitab for histogram, dispersion, control charts, and normal distribution-curve creation thereby giving engineering statistical reporting over volumetric test data.

Measurement Instance Admin

Measurement Instance Admin can be accessed from the 42Q page.

To access, go to Administration> Meas Instance Admin

Once accessing this portlet, the screen will show the menu with three options: Instances, Users, and Packages.

Figure 1: Main screen

Instances

Select the Instances icon from the Measurement Administration screen to access the Instances. An instance is used to handle a group of jobs (Parsers) that are responsible for:

Importing test results from many channel types
Processing test results

Note: Only Global Administrator users can manage instances (Projects).

An instance is a Measurement installation composed of a Measurement Engine Service, a Measurement Database, and Parsers. An instance may have multiple Projects running on the same server, reaching different Measurement and MESR databases.

Instances List

The instance page will display all available instances upon accessing the Instance module. To see instance information, expand the instance item by clicking the expand button on the left of the instance name.

Figure 2: Instances List

In each of the instances, the user will be able to see:

Server Name refers to the server's name, where the measurement instance is hosted.

Token: This is auto-generated by the system, and used to connect with the instance.

Remote Desktop User & Remote Desktop Password: The login credentials of the server where the instance is hosted

URL: This URL corresponds to a measurement instance URL. Since the measurement is a stand-alone application, 42Q will call the measurement instance using the following URL.

If users click the URL, it will be routed to the solitary measurement instance website.

Note: This only applies to Global Administrators.

Connection String: It is a phrase (contains information like Server, Port, Database, User ID, Password, Application Name) used to connect and communicate to measurement instance, this provides the information from the current connection.

Version: Refers to the current version of the instance the user is working on.

Site Name: The name of the instance users will work on.

Instance ID: It is an autogenerated ID to the instance whenever users create a new instance, it will be used to identify the instances.

Search

The Instance module also offers the ability to filter instance items. To search for an instance, click the Expand button on the left of the Search Panel at the top of the instance’s list. Fill in the appropriate filter fields, and click on the Search button.

Measurement provides filtering instances by Alias and Server Name.

Click the Update button when done to save changes, or click the Close button to abandon changes.

Upon clicking the Update button, Measurement validates the changed values, stores the data(if valid), and refreshes the instances list after closing the Update Instances screen.

Remove an instance

This feature is used when a Measurement installation is no longer necessary in a plant or is merged between installations.

An instance removal does not erase any test result data from the Measurement database. Removing an instance only removes the web access to this database. If it is necessary to erase measurement or parametric data, the user is advised to contact the Measurement support team.

To remove an instance from the list, click on the Delete button at the right side of the instance item.

Figure 8: Remove an Instance

A confirmation box is displayed. If the operation is confirmed, then the Instance is removed from the list and from the Measurement database. List items are refreshed without the removed Instance.

Users

To access the User Management module, select the Users icon from the Measurement Administration screen.

The roles listed below are related to privileges to access various levels in the application and are offered to users based on the requirements within Measurement:

Global Administrator: A user with this level of access can manage all of the measurement instances on the portal. Also capable of managing configurations across multiple instances.
Instance Administrator: A user with this level of access can manage configurations for that specific instance, such as user access and measurement configurations.
Engineer: A user with this level of access is capable of performing special actions such as inspection review in Activity Monitor and setting up Checklists.
Operator: A user with this level of access can perform the checklist operation and check the activity monitor and transaction monitor for data updates.
