Calibration Types
The user has full control over which calibration approach and error correction model that is used by the system. Calibrating the system requires using a user definable test plan similar to a DUT test plan. The error correction algorithms are easily available to the user (in high level software) for change and new error correction models can be added at any time. Computer assisted test system calibration (calibration test plans) are also provided for the other basic measurements including noise figure, RF power, DC current and voltage.
Fast Test Plan Generation using the RI Graphical Test Plan Builder/Editor
The graphical RI Test Plan Builder/Editor enables the user to quickly create custom test plans in a matter of minutes, using a minimal number of keystrokes and/or mouse functions. Complex mathematical calculations and measurements are made by a drag-and-drop interface, allowing test plan developers to focus on the test-plan instead of programming language semantics. Each custom test plan defines the DUT's measurement states, the measurements to be performed, the calculations to be applied to the measurement results, the test limits and the data name to be stored with the test data.

Support for Used Systems - System Evaluation
A System Evaluation is required before RI can support a system that has been transferred to a new owner or if the service contract has lapsed for more than 6 months. (Available as RIK0048A)
Software Licenses are NOT TRANSFERRABLE. The Software License is included with the original price of the test system and costs $250,000 to purchase for each used system being evaluated for further support. Ownership of Software License commences with receipt of payment.
An $5,000.00 OpenPO used for Hardware Repair is required to cover any hardware repairs that are determined to be required during the evaluation.
If the support contract is current with the original owner, RI will run diagnostics and report results prior to the system evaluation.
The system evaluation can be performed at RI Santa Clara or at Customer Facility.
RI will prepare an information statement for customer reference regarding long term supportability of the tester. RI cannot guarantee anything other than the system can be restored to its last working state. The information statement prepared for the system will outline the availability of upgrades based on age of the system and the availability of parts. RI cannot generally state that an older system can be upgraded to current status or that future upgrades will be available for that generation of system.
If the purchaser decides not to purchase support for the system, RI will apply $200,000 of the license fee toward the purchase price of a new system.
