Although different signal modules 10 200909827 are required to be converted in different components to be tested, it is only necessary to adjust the parameter output value of the signal simulator 402 for the normal output value of the component to be measured before the test, so that The output value of the signal simulator is the same as the normal output value of the device under test. The fifth figure is a flow chart of the method for self-detection of the test machine of the present invention, and the flow chart is explained in conjunction with an embodiment. In the test system of the present invention, the method for performing self-test of the test machine includes: first, in step S501, a path of the test signal is switched from a converter to a signal simulator; then, in step S502, receiving The signal sent back by the signal simulator; then, step S503, confirm whether the signal is normal; if the signal is normal, proceed to step S504, the test machine self-test is completed; if the signal is not normal, proceed to step S505, stop the test and proceed Inspection and repair of the test machine and accessories; after completing the steps of inspection and correction of the test machine, repeat the steps of S501 to S503 to confirm that the test function of the test machine is normal. After confirming that the test function of the machine under test is normal, the test component is tested. In step S501, the path of the test signal is switched to a signal simulator by a converter. In this embodiment, the test signal is sent by the test machine and transmitted to the converter through the load board and the signal distribution device, wherein the converter determines whether the system is to perform self-test of the machine or test the component to be tested. The switching function of the converter can be achieved by defining a coordinate for measuring the component to be tested in the test program. In this embodiment, it is defined that when measuring 11 200909827, the horizontal coordinate of 70 pieces to be tested is an arbitrary number, vertical When the coordinate is 25, the converter will change the path of the measuring number to the signal mode (4), and the signal simulator will be used to detect the test machine. Step S502' receives the signal returned by the signal simulator. After the test nickname is transmitted to the signal simulator, the signal simulator will output a signal according to the test signal and simulate the normal measurement value of the predicted component to be tested, and the signal will be transmitted back to the signal distribution device and the load. The board, and the signal is transmitted back to the test machine by the load board. In this embodiment, when the test system is applied to the wafer needle test, the signal can be a voltage value, and the signal optimizer can be a circuit with a variable resistance, depending on the normality of the component to be tested. The voltage value is measured to adjust its resistance so that the voltage value of its output is the same as the normal measured voltage value of the component to be tested. In step S503, the disc recognizes whether the signal is normal. The signal is equivalent to the test result obtained by testing the signal simulator on the test machine. Therefore, if the value of the right signal is within the allowable range, the test machine is in the process and the step S504 is performed. After the self-test is completed, the test device can be tested. If the value of the signal is not within the permitted range, the test machine is abnormal, that is, step S505 is required to stop the test and perform inspection of the test machine and the accessories. In the present invention, the system is applied to the wafer needle test. In the embodiment, when the voltage value output by the signal simulation is 2. 048±0. οοιν, if the value measured by the test machine 12 200909827 is 2. 01IV, it represents the test machine or signal distribution. If an abnormality occurs in the accessories such as the device, the test machine will automatically stop the test action and issue an abnormal alarm (a 1 arm) to be processed by the relevant personnel and prevent subsequent error measurement. After the test machine is stopped, the relevant personnel can check to find out the cause of the abnormality and repair it. After the relevant personnel have processed it, return to step S501, and then perform self-test on the test machine until confirmation. After the test function of the test machine and accessories is correct, the program for self-test of the test machine is terminated. In the test system of the present invention, the test device can be directly tested on the test machine that completes the self-test step.

In step S601, the test signal is transmitted to the converter, and the converter transmits the test signal to the signal distribution device. In this embodiment, after the test machine completes the self-testing procedure, the test component can be tested, that is, after the test machine performs self-test, it is determined that the test function of the test machine is normal. Without any downtime, the test machine can re-issue the test 13 200909827 test signal and transmit it to the converter via the load board and the signal distribution device. Because the test component is to be tested, the converter will test the test signal again. The signal distribution device is returned for testing the component under test. In step S602, the test signal is transmitted to the device under test by the signal distribution device for testing. Wherein, the signal distribution device can be different test devices according to different test processes. When the test system is used for a wafer needle test, the remote information can be allocated as a test card, and when the test system is used for When the packaged integrated circuit is tested, the signal distribution device can be a socket board. In step S603, the test is completed, and the measured test result is the correct result of the test. The embodiment of the present invention is used to demonstrate that the component to be tested is a wafer in the wafer needle test, and the test system is required to test the wafer for electrical testing, in particular Test for this wafer voltage. 7 When the measurement of the voltage of the wafer is measured, the system will read the measurement of the wafer and obtain the voltage output value.
