Patent ID: 8301405

Claim:
A method for measuring pin voltages of electronic components of an electronic device using a measurement control device and a measurement machine, the method comprising: (a) storing basic data of the electronic components into a database which communicates with the measurement control device, wherein the basic data comprises names and pin coordinates of the electronic components, and classifying the electronic components into a plurality of component types according to the names by the database; (b) sorting the basic data related to a component type selected from the plurality of component types with the measurement control device; (c) filtering the electronic components which belong to the selected component type with the measurement control device; (d) reading the pin coordinates of an electronic component selected from the filtered electronic components from the database with the measurement control device; (e) controlling a mechanical arm of the measurement machine to move to a pin of the selected electronic component according to the pin coordinates with the measurement control device; (f) controlling a voltage probe installed on the end of the mechanical arm to measure a voltage of the pin with the measurement control device; (g) repeating steps from (e) to (f) until all pins of the selected electronic component have been measured; and (h) generating test results including the voltages of the pins of the selected electronic component with the measurement control device, and outputting the test results to display on a display of the measurement control device.
