Whether you're looking to improve throughput, increase measurement consistency, or automate more of your RF and DC characterization workflows, Velox 4.0 provides the tools needed to operate more efficiently and prepare for future test requirements.
As semiconductor devices become more complex, test engineers are under increasing pressure to reduce time-to-test, improve measurement repeatability, and increase throughput, all while managing more advanced test workflows.
Velox 4.0, the latest generation of FormFactor’s probe station control software, is designed to help engineering teams meet these challenges. Built on the proven Velox platform and paired with a powerful new Windows 11-compatible PC architecture, Velox 4.0 delivers the performance, automation, and long-term platform support needed for today’s semiconductor test environments.
Building on a Proven Foundation
For years, Velox has been the software backbone of FormFactor probe systems, enabling precise, repeatable wafer-level measurements across both R&D and production environments.
With Velox 4.0, customers benefit from:
The result is a platform that supports current test requirements while providing a clear path forward as technologies and workflows continue to evolve.
Designed for Autonomous Measurement
One of the most impactful capabilities of Velox 4.0 is its support for autonomous measurement workflows.
When combined with FormFactor’s Autonomous RF and Autonomous DC packages, engineering teams can perform unattended RF and DC measurements over temperature with minimal operator involvement. This allows systems to continue running while engineers focus on higher-value activities, helping teams get more from their test resources.
Benefits include:
For organizations performing large volumes of RF and DC characterization, Velox 4.0 helps make around-the-clock testing more practical without compromising measurement quality.
More Performance for Demanding Test Workflows
Today’s measurement environments generate more data and require more computing power than ever before. To support these demands, Velox 4.0 is available with a next-generation Windows 11-compatible PC platform designed to improve performance across processing, memory, and graphics capabilities.
Faster Processing for Complex Measurements
At the heart of the new platform is an Intel® Core™ i5-13500E processor that delivers significant performance improvements:
(Based on Geekbench 6 benchmarks)
This additional processing power helps accelerate measurement routines and improves responsiveness when running complex test applications.
Expanded Memory Capacity
The upgrade from 12 GB DDR4 memory to 32 GB DDR5 memory provides:
Enhanced Graphics Performance
The addition of the NVIDIA RTX A400 GPU delivers more than 60% overall performance improvement while providing enhanced graphical performance for visualization and analysis tasks.
Together, these hardware improvements help ensure that test systems can keep pace with increasingly sophisticated measurement requirements.
Simplifying Everyday Test Operations
Performance gains are only part of the story. Velox 4.0 continues to provide the intuitive user experience and workflow efficiency that engineers have come to expect from the Velox platform.
Key benefits include:
These capabilities help shorten setup times, simplify training, and improve consistency across measurement environments.
Broad Compatibility Across FormFactor Systems
Velox 4.0 is designed to work across a wide range of FormFactor systems and applications, including:
Support extends across numerous FormFactor platforms, helping customers modernize their systems while continuing to leverage existing test infrastructure.
Please note that some legacy systems may require additional hardware upgrades to support Windows 11 compatibility.
Upgrade with Confidence
Windows 11 PC upgrade packages start at $6,579 USD (standalone PC pricing).
Customers upgrading to the new Windows 11 platform are also eligible for a 10% discount on Autonomous RF and Autonomous DC packages, making it easier to adopt unattended measurement workflows and further increase test efficiency.
Because system configurations vary, FormFactor recommends contacting your local representative to determine the best upgrade path for your specific application and platform.
