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. It also provides a method to automate a majority of scanning-related tasks for SFDC/Conduit.
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
Figure 1: Home
Once accessing this portlet, the screen will show the menu with three options':'Instances, Users, and Packages.
Figure 2: Main screen
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
- Communicating to SFDC
Note: Only Global Administrator users can manage instances (Projects).
As a Measurement installation, an instance is composed of a Measurement Engine Service, a Measurement Database, and Parsers. An instance may have multiple Projects running in the same server reaching different Measurement databases as well as different MESR databases.
To access the Instance module, go to the Measurement administration page at the top menu and click the Instances tile.
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.
Figure 3: Search
To unfilter the instance list, clear the text from the alias and server name fields and click the Search button again.
Instances List
Upon accessing the Instance module, Measurement loads and displays all instances. To see instance information, expand the instance item by clicking the Expand button on the left of the instance name.

Create a new instance
To install a new instance on a site, go to the Instances module and click the New button 
at the top right.
Figure 5: Create Instances
Once the button is used, a new screen will pop up, showing the different fields:
- Alias: An organizational name was given to an instance to identify it on the tool.
- Server Name: Server name configured on the OS from the Measurement server that is configured with the given instance.
- Remote Desktop User: The username on the server used to remotely connect to the desktop. This is used if necessary to access for the purpose of troubleshooting.
- Remote Desktop Password: User password to remote connect on the desktop. This is used if necessary to access for the purpose of troubleshooting.
- Connection String: Measurement database connection string used to run Measurement configuration modules.
- Token: Automatically generated unique identifier.
- URL: URL of the instance.
- Version: Core version.
- Site name: Desired name for the Site.
Figure 6: Create an Instance
Note:At a minimum, the mandatory fields 
must be completed.
Click the Save button when done to save changes, or click the Close button to abandon changes.
Upon clicking the Save button, Measurement will display the new instance on the list.
Edit an instance
To change an instance value click the Edit button 
at the right side of the instance item.
Figure 7: Edit an Instance
The Update Instance screen with allowable fields to modify.
Figure 8: Update Instance
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 9: 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.
Figure 10: Users
The following roles are available via the access control module within Measurement:
Instance Administrator: A user with the ability to manage instance-related configuration, such as Shop Floor Configuration and Instance Configuration Groups.
User: A user with the ability to manage all configurations containing inaccessible instances.
Operator: A user with the ability to use checklist and activity monitor modules inaccessible instances.
Search for a user
Upon entering the Measurement User Management module, Measurement loads all users on the application from all instances. The following information is shown:
Username: The active directory username or Measurement account name.
User ID: The user ID number; is used in the Checklist module to send when registering a test.
Instances: The Instance list to which the user has access.
Permission: The Role (and associated abilities) to which the user is assigned.
Click the Search button to filter the results according to the filter criteria specified.
To erase the filter, clean up all filters and click the Search button.
