Overview

The Check Info Tool streamlines the process of extracting critical test conditions from Teradyne IG-XL ATE test programs. This tool helps engineers quickly and accurately retrieve information such as pattern usage, flow binning details, power pin levels, and AC/timing data — significantly reducing the time and effort required for program quality checks.

Background

• Challenge: Engineers often need to manually search through ATE test programs to find specific test conditions, a process that is both time-consuming and prone to errors.
• Solution: Check Info Tool automates the extraction and presents results in a structured Excel report (.xlsm), with both a GUI and a CLI for flexible integration.

Features

• Automated Extraction of Test Conditions — flow table, DC/AC spec, timing, and pattern set per job
• Pattern Usage Identification — maps patterns to test instances with period and clock information
• Flow Binning Information Retrieval — sort bin descriptions across all test suites
• Power Pin Level Extraction — per-instance DPS voltage levels with power order support
• AC/Timing Data Extraction — timing period and MCG clock values (Period or Frequency mode)
• VBT Naming Convention Checker — optional static analysis of VBT .bas files
• CLI Interface — scriptable, JSON output, AI agent friendly
• GUI Interface — point-and-click workflow for interactive use

Installation

Requirements

• Python 3.9 – 3.13
• Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon), or Linux

Install from PyPI (Recommended)

pip install check-info-tool

After installation, the check-info command is immediately available:

check-info --version
check-info --help

Usage

CLI Usage

# List all jobs in a test program
check-info list -d <program.igxl> -p <platform>

# Run analysis on all jobs
check-info run -d <program.igxl> -p <platform> -j all -o ./results

# Run specific job
check-info run -d <program.igxl> -p <platform> -j "Job_FT" -o ./results

# Machine-readable JSON output (useful for scripting)
check-info list -d <program.igxl> -p UltraFLEXplus --json

See docs/cli-usage.md for the full CLI reference including all flags, examples, and agent integration patterns.

GUI Usage

Launch the graphical interface:

check-info gui

Workflow

1. Load a test program — use File → Import Program File to select a .igxl / .zip / .xlsm file, or Import Program Directory for an extracted ASCII directory
2. Select platform — choose UltraFLEXplus, UltraFLEX, or J750
3. Configure options — set cycle mode (Period/Frequency), spec environment, power order file, pattern path
4. Click Load — the job list will appear; select the jobs you want to analyse
5. Click Run — the .xlsm report is generated in the project directory
