User Interface

MPManager

The MP 65 is supplied with the MPManager software, whose aim is to open all of the tester’s functionalities, accessible just with mouse clicks.

  • First, the MPManager software will make it possible for you to define all electrical settings, including applied voltages, the clock frequency, the rise and fall time of all signals.
 
The electrical parameter definition interface


 

This user interface will allow you to edit your test scripts, starting from the library of commands available. They  cover a full range of functionalities, such as sending APDU commands, or launching electrical measurement.

 
An example of test script, and the result of the execution


 

Many possibilities are offered to edit HCI commands, and send them to the smartcard.

 
The edition window for HCI/SWP commands


 

This user interface gives also access to all electrical measurements of the smartcard. For example, the shmoo plot window will make it possible for you to study the influence of the combiantion of several electrical or protocolary parameters on the execution of a given script.

Micropross supplies a complete range of accessories for the MP 65, that include :

  • A probe for oscilloscope connection
  • The support of the USB-IC protocol

 

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