E84 Recorder
GCI's industry leading E84 Recorder is used by FABs and OEMs worldwide to locate and resolve E84 handshake issues due to signal drops and external interference. It non-intrusively captures the states of all E84 signals during live material handoffs and records them to the connected PC's hard drive. Short- and long-term recording modes are available using E84 Analysis, GCI's industry leading diagnostic software.
The Get Control, Inc., E84 Data Recorder provides non-intrusive data recording of the parallel input / output (PI/O) control signals between production equipment and automated material handling systems (AMHS). When connected to a Windows-based (laptop) computer, the E84 Data Recorder displays the communications associated with material handoff operations between active and passive SEMI® E84 or E23 compliant entities. It is very useful for short and long-term troubleshooting of the interface between production equipment and the AMHS.
