Keithley Automated Characterization Suite (ACS) Software

Keithley’s Automated Characterization Suite (ACS) is a flexible, interactive software test environment designed for device characterization, parametric test, reliability test, and even simple functional tests. ACS supports a wide array of Keithley instrumentation and systems, hardware configurations, and test settings, from a few bench-top instruments for use in a QA lab to fully integrated and automated rack-based test systems. With ACS, users are able to configure their instrumentation using the automated hardware management tool and perform tests quickly without the need for programming knowledge.
