In February of this year, we published a post that highlighted the new Velox™ 3.2 probe station control software features. We are excited to deliver the latest Velox 3.2.1 that introduces some additional features and benefits.

Here are some highlights:

  1. Velox for Manual Probe Station comes with a key feature set that has been optimized for the requirements of manual probe station users:
  • AugmentedAlign Tool: Improves RF, mmW and THz measurement accuracy and simplifies probe positioning
  • Find Feature Tool: Pattern recognition-based dimensional feedback of probe position with μm resolution
  • Live Vision with Analytical Tools: Maximum ergonomics with Measure On-Screen and Snap Image
  • Python-based Scripting Console: Allows user code for control of WinCal, VNA and more

This helps improve speed and accuracy of probing and assists design debug and presentation of measurement results. For RF/mmW/THz measurements it enables faster calibration and improves accuracy and repeatability.

  1. ReAlign™ for SUMMIT200 delivers autonomous operation for vertical probe cards, and helps bring faster time to data:
  • Near-on-axis technology: high thermal stability with small station footprint
  • Measurements over temperature with optional RF/DC cover: EMI-shielded, dark and frost-free
  • Modular design: interchangeable with other application layers, (i.e. RF TopHat)
  • Full wafer Z-profiling
  • Single die alignment without a microscope
  1. Interval Backup delivers automated backup of projects and configuration files, an easy-to-use recovery function. Data is stored separately from the Velox storage medium delivering user-relevant data protection.
  2. Finally, Auto Align has been optimized to be 10 percent faster, delivering faster time to measurement.
