Guides

A practical guide to replacing NI TestStand with Python and OpenHTF for manufacturing test, with step-by-step migration patterns and TofuPilot integration.

Zero-defect manufacturing aims to prevent defects rather than detect them. Learn what it means in practice, what it requires, and how test data supports it.

Learn how to accelerate hardware test cadence using TofuPilot to identify bottlenecks, reduce debug time, and optimize test coverage.

Link every test result to a specific serial number and track each unit's complete test history through its production lifecycle.

Learn how to track wafer-level and final test data for semiconductors using TofuPilot for CP/FT yield analysis and bin mapping.

A reference for SCPI commands in Python using PyVISA, covering measurement types, triggering, error handling, and OpenHTF integration with TofuPilot.

FMEA identifies potential failure modes before they happen. Learn how to apply FMEA to manufacturing test processes and track corrective actions with TofuPilot.

Map IATF 16949 requirements for production test records, MSA, and control plans to TofuPilot's traceability and analytics features.

Learn how to automate hardware verification and validation workflows using TofuPilot for structured test evidence and traceability.

Learn how to set up EMC pre-compliance tests, log radiated and conducted emissions data, and track EMC margins with TofuPilot.

Define what test data to capture, how to name procedures and measurements, and how to organize everything in TofuPilot for long-term traceability.

AOI, SPI, and AXI are automated inspection methods for PCB manufacturing. Learn what each does, when to use them, and how to track inspection data.
