Teradyne derives no direct commercial benefit from propagating this standard, but we hope its usefulness, thoroughness, and full documentation will make all of us who work with ATE more productive.

Teradyne has adopted this standard for the test result output of all of its UNIX operating system based testers, and offers conversion software for users of its Test System Director for our other semiconductor test systems. It is our hope that both users and manufacturers of semiconductor ATE will find this standard useful, and will incorporate it into their own operations and products. Called the Standard Test Data Format (STDF ), its specification is contained in the following document.

In order to help overcome this problem, Teradyne has developed a simple, flexible, portable data format to which existing data files and formats can be easily and economically converted. A glaring hole in these standards has been the lack of test result data compatibility between test systems of different manufacturers, and sometimes within the product lines of a single manufacturer.

Many of these networking systems are converging on popular standards, such as Ethernet.
