Flying Probe Validation
Category: Testing
Description: Flying probe validation typically tests basic production, prototypes, and boards by using electro-mechanically controlled probes to access components that present accessibility problems.
Process is optional and is turned OFF by default.

Flying probe Cycle Time is a sum of the board load time, flying probe time, and Board Unload time. Flying probe time is a function of the number of pins divided by the rate of the machine checking these pins.
Process Time = Board Load Time + Flying Probe Time + Board Unload Time
Board Load Time = (Machine variable)
Flying Probe Time = Qty of Pins / Flying Probe Rate
Flying Probe Rate = (Machine variable)
Board Unload Time = (Machine variable)
