Introduction to Script -1
SigNAS3 has basic evaluation functions in the GUI. On the other hand, Script allow for easy customization of measurement conditions and procedures. Script is a simple program. Here, I will introduce the flow from creation to execution with a simple example. Script writing Sctipt writing is using a text editor (no particular specification). Script filename […]

Conditional STOP (CNDSTP) command
When testing NAND Falsh Memory, for example, when errors exceed a specified value, you may want to stop or switch to another process. Script do not have an IF statement function, but the CNDSTP command can be used to stop script execution or switch script files when the specified conditions are met. This makes it possible to […]

Vth Distribution measurement
NAND flash memory (NAND) technology is advancing toward multi-value recording (recording three or more values in a single memory cell) to improve storage capacity, and QLC (Quad Level Cell) is currently being put to practical use. For example, the memory method of TLC (Triple-Level Cell) is 3 bits/cell, 8 levels of threshold voltage (program is […]

Busy Time (Operation time) measurement
The time required for each operation (Erase, Program, Read) for NAND Flash Memory (NAND) is called Busy Time, and it is one of the performance indicators that affect the performance of the final product. SigNAS3 has its measurement function in GUI and Script. First, an example of Busy Time measurement with GUI is shown below. […]

Read data error check
Data error occurs in NAND Flash Memory (NAND) due to various factors. An example of inspection using Script is shown below. Identifying Anomalies SigNAS3 has a script command that dumps the read data as it is or compares it with the specified pattern to identify abnormal points. 【Script example】 PGRDCP command For the comparison length, specify […]

Bad Block Scan
A bad block in NAND Flash Memory (hereafter NAND) is a block that is not suitable for storing data. There are two types of Bad Blocks: initial Bad Blocks and later Bad Blocks. Initial bad blocks occur at about 1% of the capacity during the NAND manufacturing process. Later bad blocks are caused by degradation […]

Read ID
A unique ID is recorded in the NAND Flash Memory (hereafter referred to as NAND). SigNAS3 is equipped with a function "Read ID" to read the ID in Command of GUI. ID information (8byte) of the NAND is read and displayed. It is also possible to do it by Script based on the NAND data […]

Swappable Socket Board
This will introduce a swappable socket board that was newly developed based on customer requests. Conventional product (Sub board) As shown in the figure below, the conventional product had a configuration in which 16 sockets were mounted directly on the board. This is called a sub-board Swappable Socket Board Concept A configuration with good cost […]

Tips of Script programming
Script can be used even by programming beginners by writing simple commands and parameter combinations. Its commands are all six-character strings, allowing for intuitive associations with functions. (See Operational Guide "Example of script file") In addition, scripts created by yourself can be checked by the "Script Check Mode" function before execution. This section provides more […]
