Microsoft Xbox

V I Engineering, Inc., a select integrator and National Instruments Alliance Member, in conjunction with Microsoft have developed an end-of-line functional test system that will test Microsoft Xbox controller devices as they roll off the production line. The system has the ability to test all device communication, and will run an automated test sequence that can be saved and configured by authorized users. The system monitors all data packets at the bit level to verify that all controller functional messages are within a user configurable specification. Signals are also monitored at the chip level by analyzing the electrical signals for rise/fall times, min/max voltage levels, and additional current draw measurements. All tests are completed immediately after production of a controller and thereby an immediate pass/fail condition is determined. More than 250 individual test parameters are recorded to a data file, and each test station is linked to a main server via a LAN for seamless data management.
