1. Current Measuring Function converts current consumption values of DUT at both 3 3V and 1 5V power rail into digital output User can use software Utility or DLL to read directly the precise voltage amp current values of DUT at 3 3V amp 1 5V respectively through PCle Bus and timely monitor DUT current consumption without any external instrument being engaged it thus can remarkably reduce the expense on equipment and maintenance Cable less Control Function Previously a cable was needed to send control command if software control was applied Now the PEM 1X makes it possible by the Cable Less Control function to control the device driver and the power of the DUT without any physical connection making the installation easier on production floor PEM 1X User Manual Page 2 Ben Standard Parts PEM 1X Hot Swap Extender card l piece Installation CD l piece Optional Parts PEM 1CRL Long size Slot Riser To accommodate the heavy load of mass production that would cause the wear out of the slot this long size slot riser provides protection for the slot of PEM 1X card from wear out and extend its duration Use it together with the mass production type DUT latch frame PEM 1CRS PEM 1CRS Short size Slot Riser Applying the short size design to works with the auto DUT loading equipment in the production line el PEM 1LC Mini2.
