Migrating SPEA 3030 Fixtures and Programs for Use on the PTI-818S Test System

As an early-entering testing equipment in the market, SPEA 3030 has secured a certain market share with its stable basic performance. However, after years of operation, its limited functional scalability struggles to meet complex testing demands (e.g., burn-in, audio analysis). A cost-effective replacement solution designed for outdated equipment, PTI-818S deeply integrates with SPEA 3030’s test fixtures and programs, enabling one-click migration of testing capabilities. It offers richer modular testing functions and expansion interfaces, catering to diverse scenarios and helping users achieve testing upgrades at low costs.

Customer requirements：

The original SPEA 3030 equipment is aging and needs to be upgraded and maintained.
Test fixture sharing.
SPEA 3030 original program conversion.
Need to add MES function, key test function, bar code scanning test function, stamp function, data storage and reading and writing function.
Meet the production requirements and improve the testing efficiency and speed.
Improve the level of automation.

Fixture sharing

Hardware Seamless Compatibility: PTI-818S adopts the same fixture interface protocols and physical specifications as SPEA 3030. Existing test fixtures can be directly connected without modification or redesign.

Cost & Efficiency Optimization: Avoids resource waste from fixture obsolescence (custom fixture costs typically account for 20%-30% of total equipment investment) and eliminates fixture re-calibration time (saves 1-2 weeks on average), ensuring zero downtime during production line transitions.

Supports SPEA 3030 structure

The PTI-818S test master controller is compatible with all models in the SPEA3030 series of test mechanisms. The main unit supports up to 2048 direct channels and can be expanded with boundary scan capabilities, offering equivalent testing functionality to the SPEA3030.

Program conversion

One-Click Program Conversion: Zero-Technical-Threshold Process Migration

Plug-and-Play Migration: Using the supporting software “PTI-Converter,” testing processes can be migrated in 3 steps (import original program → auto-adapt → validation run), with a conversion success rate ≥99%. This solves the pain point of “equipment replacement = process rebuild.”

Intelligent Compatibility System: Built-in SPEA 3030 program parsing engine supports automatic recognition and format conversion of mainstream testing languages (e.g., C#, Python scripts), eliminating manual code rewriting.

Core Advantages of PTI-818S

Full-Scenario Testing Capabilities

Enhanced Basic Functions: Supports higher-precision analog/digital signal testing (30% improved accuracy), compatible with multi-type Device Under Test (DUT), including PCBs, modules, and finished products.
Expanded Features: Integrates burn-in (supports 30+ mainstream chip protocols), LED measurement (full-spectrum analysis of intensity/wavelength/color), boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1 standard), audio analysis (noise/distortion/frequency response), and serial communication (UART/I2C/SPI multi-protocol compatibility), covering full-process testing from hardware debugging to quality inspection.

Extreme Cost-Effectiveness

Drastic Equipment Cost Reduction: Priced at less than 1/5 of SPEA 3030’s comparable new models, it enables “double functionality per device” or “multi-device network deployment” within the same budget.
Long-Term Maintenance Friendliness: Supports OTA firmware upgrades and remote diagnostics, with 50% lower component costs and a 40% reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to traditional equipment.
