system for your application.
Accelerate Innovation with Automated Testing
Get to Market Faster with On-Instrument Processing
The MP5000—along with supported SMUs and PSUs—features an embedded TSP processor, purpose-built for fast, scalable automation. With TSP, you're not just reducing test time—you're building a smarter test strategy.
- Easy Automation – Human-readable TSP commands make scripting intuitive for both beginners and experts.
- Modular & Scalable – Define custom APIs with script loading and function encapsulation for reusable, maintainable code.
- Accelerated Execution – Run full test routines directly on the instrument, eliminating PC-instrument latency.
- Precision Synchronization – TSP-Link™ enables sub-microsecond coordination across MP5000 mainframes for high-speed parallel testing.
Automate Your Way—From Code to No-Code Options
The MP5000 supports multiple automation paths to integrate with and expedite your workflow:
- Driver-Based Automation – Use our Python driver, tm_devices beta, for flexible, code-driven control. (IVI-C, IVI.NET, and LabVIEW coming soon.)
- TSP Toolkit – Free Visual Studio Code extension built for easy TSP scripting with autocomplete, syntax validation, and an on-instrument debugger for live script monitoring. [Beta] available for automated TSP script generation for I-V characterization.
- No-code Automation (coming soon)- Automated Characterization Suite (ACS) Software will allow users to build semiconductor characterization test sequences without writing code.
Get started with automation using our TSP example code.
Maximize Uptime with Real-Time Visibility
Use built-in tools to identify and resolve issues early without disrupting production.
- Live Monitoring – Watch test execution in real time to ensure everything runs as expected.
- Touchscreen & Web Interface – Double-check connections and settings directly on the instrument or remotely via browser.
- Non-Intrusive Debugging – Validate functionality and troubleshoot without interrupting your test system.
- Streamlined Setup & Development – Debug scripts and system behavior during setup and test creation phases.
