1 RF insert for 4 sockets - wait for all sockets to complete tests before RF head extraction

[Kriske]

Hi,

I'm looking for a good solution for a test setup were we have 4 sockets in a parallel model were the 4 UUT share

the same RF insert. All UUT have the RF insert atached to each other.

So each socket has to wait after test completion at the completion from the other sockets before we extract the RF insert.

I would like to have a flexible solution, even if I put 3 or 1 UUT on the tester without changing the number of sockets in teststand.

Thank you,

                Kris.

Have you thought about using the Batch model instead of the parallel model?  The batch model will do exactly what you are looking for.  You would put your head extraction code in cleanup and mark is as single execution so only one thread runs the extraction.

Other than that, use a rendezvous.  The only problem with that is you will have to know how many positions are running when you create the rendezvous.  All in all, I would use the batch model.
