SigmaQuest and National Instruments Conduct Manufacturing Test Seminar Over 50 design, test and manufacturing engineers attend this successful event

NEWS RELEASE – Jan 30, 2003 -- SigmaQuest, Inc, leader in product performance intelligence, today announced the successful completion of its joint Manufacturing Test Seminar with National Instruments in Sunnyvale, CA. This successful seminar showed over 50 test engineers how to effectively manage their test and diagnostics data across distributed design and manufacturing organizations using SigmaQuest and NI TestStand .
Key points from the joint seminar included how test engineers could:
  • Save development and data collection effort by capturing structured test results directly from each test station
  • Achieve instant results through SigmaQuest's integration with NI TestStand and LabVIEW test environments
  • Capture essential measurements and test results through effortless database integration within their test system
”Organizing test results for product performance analysis is an essential part of building test systems that deliver optimal product quality and performance. The joint manufacturing test seminar presented by SigmaQuest and National Instruments illustrates how today’s test engineers can leverage commercial off-the-shelf software to significantly reduce development time and avoid the high costs traditionally associated with test data management and analysis” said Richard McDonell, NI TestStand Product Manager.

" SigmaQuest provides seamless real-time access to test data generated by NI TestStand test management software. With this data, SigmaQuest product performance intelligence tools provide actionable information across the distributed design and manufacturing organization. Together NI and SigmaQuest combine to help test engineers get their products to market faster while achieving higher quality and lower cost." said Nader Fathi, SigmaQuest CEO.

SigmaSure v2.0 consists of SigmaProbe, SigmaConnect, and SigmaAnalysis. SigmaProbe provides real-time test data capture through its application programming interface (API) that supports C, C++, C#, Perl, Java, Visual Basic and NI TestStand. SigmaConnect employs peer-to-peer technology to mine the data warehouse across the extended supply chain. Based on SigmaConnect's flexible data mining capabilities, SigmaAnalysis provides configurable data visualization as well as packaged analytics.
