Abstract :
This paper addresses a current and future requirement to maintain out moded and obsolete Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) and their associated Test Program Set (TPS) software. There are two major issues with regard to this requirement; first, the ATE hardware is no longer supportable and must be replaced with newer computers and instrumentation. Second, the TPS software must be migrated to the new ATE hardware. This paper presents currently available Computer Aided Re-Engineering (CARE) techniques that will greatly assist the user with this migration
