01
One board across benches.
Use the same serial through programming, functional test and burn-in.
INDUSTRIES / ELECTRONICS & CONNECTED DEVICES
Follow every board from first power-on.
Bring programming, functional tests, and burn-in results together. Keep your existing test code and connect every result to the board, its revision, and its production batch.
Testing challenges
02
Measurements behind the pass.
Compare rail voltages and current across batches and test versions.
03
Keep rework visible.
Preserve the first failure alongside every later test attempt.
WORKFLOW EXAMPLE
One board. Three checks. One history.
An example electronics workflow connecting programming and serialization to functional test and burn-in.

Program and identify
Record the board serial, hardware revision, and programming outcome.
Check the functions
Collect rail voltages, communications checks, and their limits.
Review burn-in
Keep stress-test measurements and any retests on the same unit.
ALERT & NEXT STEP · EXAMPLE
The functional test failed on the reference-voltage check.
Send the run and board serial to the engineering channel. Compare the batch and station before choosing a rework or retest.
Connect the next stepRESOURCES
Start with a relevant procedure.
MCU Programming and Serialization
Program each controller and record its unique identity.
