WinTE-7000™      WinSoft Test Instruments Emulator   (Formaly - WinSoft Instrument System Emulator)


WinSoft Test Instruments Emulator, WinTE-7000™ -  is the only technology that enables the life extension of the entire legacy ATE. WinTE-7000™ , when combined with a new compatible test instrument, replaces a legacy instrument without modifying any existing software, drivers, or TPSs.

This new generation of software is based on and compatible with WinSoft Instrument System Emulator (W.I.S.E) which has been extending the life of more than 150 legacy ATEs, since 2003.

WinTE-7000™ was designed with a scalable architecture that enables the emulation of multiple and different test instruments simultaneously with the option of adding more instruments over time. The use of an innovative architecture to translate instructions and maintain instruments’ original interface timing makes WinTE-7000 the most cost-effective choice for replacing obsolete instruments. The WinTE-7000 solution does not require any TPSs changes or verification, thus dramatically reducing the cost and time it takes to upgrade a legacy test system with new instruments. As access to the existing legacy software is not required, WinTE-7000 works seamlessly with legacy programming languages such as ATLAS, HP-BASIC and FORTRAN and does not require an ATLAS translator, ATLAS migration, or TPS modification.

WinTE-7000™
supports standard communication protocols such as GPIB, RS232, USB and TCP/IP, and widely used platforms such as Rack & Stack, PXI, and MMS modules. To provide prompt and timely product support, WinTE-7000 includes an embedded web server with built-in tools for remote diagnostics and debugging. WinTE-7000 is packaged in a small 1U-high 19-inch standard rack designed for space-saving applications. A PXI version is available for a PXI chassis which becomes a virtual instrument.

Since its inception five years ago, WinTE-7000 has extended the life of many critical military test systems such as Trident test stations, F-15 testers, and various Navy radio testers. In addition to saving tens of millions of dollars by avoiding writing and validating hundreds of test program sets, WinTE-7000 users have experienced a dramatic reduction in downtime of the upgraded test stations.

Testimonials

 

“Hi All,
The 53150 counter project is going smoothly and there are no outstanding issues.
Thanks to all who participated in these projects. We have a happy customer who is ready to engage with us on different replacements.
I look forward to winning more business together.” - Agilent Technologies


"As a side bar, my preliminary assessment is that the Winsoft solution is going to be the best possible replacement for the HP 8566B. So far it is the least problematic and is closest to a direct replacement. I say this without conducting any finalized testing but I wanted you to know your group is leading in this competition. Keep up the good work and good luck" - Lockheed Martin.

“I will be sure to inform others that may be looking into similar analyzer replacement about WinSoft's products and diligence in helping to solve problems’’ - BAE Systems

I wanted to give you an update on BAE. When I met with Rick and the guys they said that the Program has requested direction from the Navy on whether they want to pursue this and the associated costs. Rick says his recommendation was to fund the effort to upgrade if the program is going to last an additional 5-8 years. His report says he is confident that the Winsoft Technology along with Winsoft’s excellent support assures success. The guys at BAE were very impressed with your help, attitude, and quick response to their questions’’ - BAE Systems

“My first run was this weekend. Three of the units loaded nicely. I did get a command to successfully pass to the Rhode & Schwarz units’’ - Raytheon

“I'm a engineer at Raytheon co. El Segundo CA. My group has ordered  two of your emulators, for check out and evaluation. I need the physical dimensions and technical data on the emulator’’. - Raytheon

“Just in case we can find some extra bucks, what would the cost of a second set of cassette modules with a rack mount be? The programming would be the same for both sets’’ - Raytheon

“The IPAT researched and contacted several ATSs’ product referrals.  Similar technologies and products were also researched via E-Commerce websites. They eventually decided on a products demonstration from three vendors: two from the ATSs’ product referral list and a third from its E-Commerce website... A number one concern when purchasing new applications is the cost and time it will take to migrate from old technology to new.  The objectives pursued here were to upgrade or replace the test stations in a timely and cost-effective manner...Instead of being replaced, the ATSs are now being upgraded in steps as budget permitted. The estimated life extension of our radio frequency (RF) ATS platform is now 15 years’’ - US NAVY

 “...At the end of this process, the ATSs IPT calculated a cost avoidance of over $2 million during Phase I and cost avoidance of more than $12 million during Phase II allowing an additional five ATSs’ platforms to be upgraded within budget.  An overall cumulative cost avoidance of $22 million was calculated for all seven ATSs’ platform upgrades.  This calculation is based on the Department of Defense costs for rewriting and revalidation of the more than 200 TPS.  The down-time of the upgraded ATSs’ platforms that utilize the  Technology went from 50 percent to less than 2 percent’’ - US NAVY
