Diamond's industry leading resource density, along with unprecedented integration flexibility, allows us to adopt production test strategies not possible with previous, larger test systems. Additionally, the combined digital, analog and DSP performance provides a powerful tool for our engineering lab. We are also pleased with the close cooperation between LTX-Credence and our engineers resulting in timely implementation of the first mixed-signal production project."
