MPI SENTIO® Software Suite – Feel The Difference
By using a novel approach based on simplicity and truly intuitive operation, MPI was first to develop a revolutionary multi-touch prober control software suite, SENTIO®, to address today’s challenges of operating complex test systems. SENTIO® saves training time, reduces cost per test and makes the operators’ life as easy as possible!
10 Reasons Why SENTIO®
No. 2 Multi-Touch
A touch screen is the standard user interface of all modern devices: portables, cars, entertainment systems… and now MPI probers. Scroll, Zoom, Drag-and-Drop, Move, Pan and QuickAlign are just some of the multi-touch functions which users already enjoy in their daily lives. For operators used to traditional methods of control, the system maintains support of mouse and keyboard interaction.
No. 3 The DashBoard™
The software always initiates with the SENTIO® DashBoard™. In this overview the probe system is mapped distinctively to guide the operator by clicking the active and clearly visible probe system’s components such as wafer chuck, AUX chucks, microscope, MicroPositioners, wafer loader, and others. GUI animations support the intuitive feedback of overall system status.
No. 4 “Picture in Picture”
With just one single touch the operator can switch between Vision and WaferMap, by keeping the previous module as an embedded overlay window. The “picture in picture” approach provides easy and fast navigation between the most used modules by keeping continuous live feedback. There is no longer a need for inefficient multi-tab and multi-screen systems.


No. 6 Intelligent
Not only easy and intuitive – MPI engineers designed the software suite to provide for intelligent operation by predicting possible next steps of operation. Anticipated operational guidance and clear full screen wizards leads to faster operation. All sub-menus are based on progressive disclosure and displaying buttons, which only apply for the particular workflow.
No. 8 Connectivity
Implementation of native drivers allows SENTIO® to be efficiently integrated into all commonly used test executive suites. WaferMap export/import, executable Emulation Modes for 3rd party or legacy remote command sets, free sample codes in LabVIEW, Python, LUA… all make SENTIO® seamlessly integrated with standard test environments.
SENTIO® is another great example of MPI’s relentless innovation and technology leadership, with a focus on reduced cost of test utilizing simple, safe, and intuitive probe system operation.
