The Accretech GPIB Prober Driver requires a probe card configuration file to determine the site die coordinates based on the current prober position. The probe card configuration file is a standard INI file, which can be specified in the Configure Accretech GPIB Prober Driver dialog box. The driver installs a default template in the <TestStand Public>\Components\Modules\NI_SemiconductorModule\HandlersAndProbers\Accretech GPIB Prober Driver\Supporting Materials\Probe Card.ini directory.

When a test program starts, the driver will query the prober for the two-character probe card location number. The driver searches the [Probecard_<NN>] section in the probe card configuration file that defines the site die layout of the probe card. <NN> is the location number that the prober setup file defines and the prober returns.

If the location number is not defined in the probe card configuration file, perform the following steps to define a new location number in the configuration file.

1. Open the probe card configuration file in the <TestStand Public>\Components\Modules\NI_SemiconductorModule\HandlersAndProbers\Accretech GPIB Prober Driver\Supporting Materials\Probe Card.ini directory with a text editor.

          

2. Add a new [Probecard_<NN>] section at the end of the file.
3. Replace <NN> with a two-character location number.
4. Add a key for each die using the format of Die<MM>=X,Y
   • The prober reports Die01=0,0 together with the corresponding position.
   • Replace <MM> with die index, starting with 01 for the first die.
   • Replace X,Y with X and Y offset for each die relative to Die01 respectively.
5. Ensure that you use right for positive X direction and down for positive Y direction as illustrated in locations 01 and G3 in the following figure.

          

Note: 

• The INI file will be overwritten when the driver is uninstalled or reinstalled. NI recommends that you save a copy of your probe card configuration file.
• The number of dies in the enabled probe card section must match the number of enabled sites in the Configure Lot Settings dialog box.
