Abstract
Example automatic test equipment (ATE) includes: a per-pin measurement unit (PPMU); logic configured to execute a state machine to control the PPMU; memory that is part of, or separate from, the logic; and a control system to command the logic; where, in response to a command from the control system, the state machine is configured to obtain, at a known interval or ATE event, data that is based on an output of a measurement by the PPMU and to store the data in the memory, or to output data to the PPMU from the memory at a known interval or synchronous to an event.
