KEOLABS’ Quest line of testing tools delivers state of the art characterization capabilities with unprecedented ease-of-use through the new Quest software environment.
Quest provides characterization tests as preconfigured scenarios. These scenarios control the tester ‘s programmable features to enable single-click access to contactless tests such as waveform analysis and performance profiling.
The scenario’s configuration, description, scripts, traces and results are all stored in a workbook file that can be easily shared with others using the free Quest software.
