MP300 MT1 : User Interface

MPManager, MVPi

The MP300 MT1/C2 can be accessed using several ways :

  • First, using the driver dll that we supply, which enables the user to access all functionnalities of the MP300 MT1/C2 from any programming language that supports Dll
  • For users prefering to embed their code directly inside the MP300 MT1/C2, Micropross has designed the SORB interface, which completely encapsulates all programming tasks related to the management of embedded applications, and lets the user focus on the smartcard oriented code
  • Finally, we can also supply our own user interface, MVPi, which elegantly conciliates convenience of use, high throughput and stability.

 

MVPi is able to handle up to 32 test heads at the same time, but upgrades are easily possible.

 
The main window of MVPi

 

Statistics are available, either separated between all test heads, or displayed for the whole system

 
Here, the number of failures, and the reason of the failure, for the head 3

 

More statistics are available, showing the current test time, as well as the average one.

 
Here, total of good, bad chips, and the testing time

 

As smartcards are being produced, logfiles are also generated, that allow to keep track of the produced components. The content of this logfile is controlled by the user.

Micropross supplies a complete range of accessories for the MP300 MT1/C2, that include :

 

  • Various sizes of rack housing, who allow to protect the Micropross testers from any kind of danger
  • Different types of antennas
  • External smartcard readers
  • Software for production machines (MVPi)

We also supply packages to extend the warranty of the tester. Please ask us for the maintenance contracts available
