General Questions
What does Enterprise Test mean?
Enterprise Test is a term that encompasses the requirements, complexities, and best practices associated with today’s product testing and characterization. These include multiple and often disparate technologies; the large quantities of data that are typically produced, analyzed, and shared; and the geographic and work distribution of team members—from department managers and design engineers to test operators—across departments and the globe.
What is Arendar?
Arendar is a software platform with modules and applications that eliminate the complexities associated with typical enterprise test systems. Arendar accomplishes this by:
- Seamlessly, reliably, and automatically storing data produced by test stations in a centralized SQL Server 2005 database, making it readily accessible.
- Publishing data and reports through a standard Web browser, such as Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
- Providing a drag-and-drop interface through which test engineers easily design custom reports and publish them immediately.
- Exposing interactive interfaces to aggregate, correlate, and analyze test data to obtain useful information.
- Making test system and database administration simple through an interface similar to Windows Explorer, minimizing the need for IT knowledge or support.
How do I decide if Arendar is the right choice for my business?
Arendar is the right choice if you experience any of the following scenarios:
- Your company has one or more bench top or automated test stations storing data in flat files that need to be combined and analyzed.
- You have networked, automated test systems that share raw data or reports across the enterprise for different users to view.
- There are multiple types of user levels and credentials -- ranging from test engineers to department managers -- who need insight into testing operations and require autonomy regarding how they look at the data and results.
- You experience inefficiencies because your data is spread over multiple test stations, servers, and departments or because your employees cannot access the right data when they need it.
- You cannot get timely reports about your tests because engineers spend days collating and decimating data, or they find themselves consolidating data from disparate file formats.
- Your test data management system requires significant updating every time a new test station or test procedure is changed or added.
If any of the above scenarios applies to your situation, you would greatly benefit from an enterprise test system. Arendar is the only off-the-shelf software that provides a comprehensive solution for these issues and streamlines design, characterization, validation, and manufacturing testing across your enterprise.
In what industries is Arendar used?
Arendar is used across multiple industries, especially those that use automated systems for test and characterization to increase and ensure the quality of their products. These encompass the semiconductor industry, including IC characterization; the medical industry, including medical device testing and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance; as well as the electronics, defense, communications, and automotive industries.
I already use Excel and CSV, and other flat files to store my data. Why should I use Arendar?
There are advantages and disadvantages to using either a file-based or database-centric approach for test data management. The benefits of file-based systems are that the initial cost is very low given that the data storage software usually comes with the operating system (e.g. Excel, notepad, etc.), engineers typically know how to use these tools, and searching for a particular file (e.g. Windows search tool, Google Desktop, etc.) when the content is known is fairly easy. The disadvantages of a file-based system are that concurrent access to the files is limited and often dangerous; implementation of a multi-user, multi-level security mechanism becomes more and more difficult as the number of users grows; IT involvement is often necessary, especially when access permissions need to be set; enforcing file format and naming standards is next to impossible; and performing analysis of datasets stored across multiple files is a tedious and often manual process.
The graph below shows the increase in complexity when dealing with file-based systems that handle large amounts of files and disparate file formats or layouts.
Database-centric systems also have disadvantages. The deployment of an enterprise system requires skills that test engineers do not usually possess; entry-level costs are usually higher (starting at $18k); adoption typically requires buy-in from multiple stake-holders or departments; and the development and ongoing support and maintenance costs of a custom-built solution become very costly over the life-cycle of the system.
The benefits of an Arendar system far outweigh the challenges. Fail-safe data transfer mechanisms effectively eliminate data loss. Data corruption becomes a thing of the past with guaranteed safe concurrency. Complex security and multi-user-access is handled through Windows User Management. The learning curve for end users is practically zero because data and reports are accessed through a standard Web browser. The data is stored in one location in a standardized, uniform, and consistent format. The system is scalable to new users, test systems, and test procedures. Also, data aggregation is done transparently as soon as it is stored in the database.
Who are Arendar’s major competitors?
No other product in the industry offers what Arendar does in terms of enterprise-wide data management for design, characterization, and validation testing. Frequently, engineering managers keep data organized in flat files and use engineers’ time to manually sort the data and create usable reports in business-oriented tools such as Microsoft Excel or PowerPoint. After realizing the inefficiencies associated with a file-based approach—such as file format inconsistencies and storage in multiple servers and computers—companies often decide to develop their own database-centered solutions for managing, centralizing, and sharing test data across the enterprise. When the effort and expertise required to build a robust enterprise test system become apparent, and the time and money savings of using a commercial, off-the-shelf technology are realized, companies decide to move to Arendar.
How is Arendar different from other enterprise systems used in manufacturing, such as MES, PLM, Quality, and SCM?
Today's leading companies deploy different types of enterprise systems in their manufacturing operations and other parts of the company. Each system serves a different purpose. Manufacturing execution systems (MESs) help companies manage and track products flowing through their manufacturing line. Product lifecycle management (PLM) systems help companies conceptualize, design, build, and service products from inception to obsolescence. Quality systems monitor business and manufacturing processes to ensure certain business performance and customer satisfaction metrics are achieved. Supply chain management (SCM) systems track resource availability for global manufacturing.
Arendar integrates automated test systems used in design, validation and manufacturing into the enterprise and provides critical information that is used to improve product performance and quality.
Arendar has the following things in common with other enterprise systems: They all capture data from business processes and provide managers with tools that turn that data into valuable information, which is then used to make critical business decisions that improve their company’s products and processes.
Management and Configuration
Does Arendar work with any database system, such as Oracle, MS Access, and MySQL?
Arendar is designed to take advantage of the latest features and technologies available in Microsoft SQL Server 2005. In previous versions, Arendar worked with SQL Server as well as Oracle. However, the majority of customers using automated test systems or running test and measurements applications rely on MS SQL Server. Also, making a technology-agnostic product significantly limits its functionality, so VI Technology decided to standardize on SQL Server for future versions of Arendar.
Because an Arendar system based on Microsoft SQL Server is installed separately from the corporate network, most companies are able to use Arendar without being affected by corporate IT policies. Even if IT requires test data to be stored on the corporate network and/or in a database technology other than MS SQL Server 2005, compliance with these requirements are achieved through standard database mirroring, backup, and data replication processes.
How does the Arendar installation process work?
The installation process depends on your system configuration and how you want to distribute the various components throughout your network. A basic system consists of an Arendar Server and an Arendar Client. The server component must have MS SQL Server 2005, SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (included), and Arendar Server components installed on it. Clients (systems that push data into the database) must have the Arendar Client components installed. Other installation components, such as the server hardware and hard drive configuration, must be considered to achieve maximum performance and reliability. After the software is installed on both the server and clients, the following components of the system should be configured: user credentials and privileges, fail-safe data transfer, and reporting privileges.
Does VI Technology help with system installation, customization and deployment?
VI Technology has a team of Arendar and database specialists ready to help you quickly and efficiently install and configure your Arendar system. Because we are the Arendar experts, our specialists greatly minimize the time required to get your Arendar system up and running, and they ensure the system performs to meets your exact needs. VI Technology specialists also make sure that all distributed components communicate correctly and that the fail-safe data transfer mechanism works properly. Our team of specialists also assist you with designing a database structure (schema) that best fits your application requirements, customizing reports, importing legacy data, training, and even integrating Arendar with existing test systems.
Is it easy to integrate Arendar with my existing test systems?
Arendar includes native interfaces for the most common test and measurement software technologies and is designed to integrate tightly with National Instruments TestStand, LabVIEW, and .NET environments such as C# and VB.NET. Arendar also exposes a full-featured Application Programming Interface (API) and standard ActiveX and DLL interfaces. These functions, libraries, and interfaces make retrofitting existing applications straightforward allowing the legacy test application to interact with the Arendar platform programmatically.
How does Arendar gather data from my test stations?
Arendar gathers data from your test stations in one of two ways. If you have the application code for your existing test stations, it is easy to retrofit the existing software code by incorporating the functions and libraries to store data in Arendar. Instead of storing the generated data in a file on disk or in memory, your application sends data directly to the database via the Arendar Client API. The Arendar Client is then responsible for communicating with the Arendar Server, which is typically installed on the same test station computer or on a separate networked server computer. If the data is sent through the network, Arendar uses its built-in, fail-safe data transfer mechanism to ensure that the data is transmitted without loss. Should the network become unavailable, the Arendar Client stores the data in a local cache. When the network becomes available, the client transfers the cached data to the Arendar server, which in turn commits the data to the MS SQL Server database.
If you cannot or would rather not change the code in your existing application, another option is to configure Arendar to monitor a folder on your test station in which the produced data files are deposited. When this monitoring service detects a new file, it opens the file, extracts the generated data, sends the data to the Arendar Server (again using a fail-safe data transfer mechanism), and commits the data to the SQL Server database.
Is Arendar customizable, and if so, to what extent?
Arendar is a software enterprise platform, which offers many advantages above typical, out-of-the-box software. Most software applications come with numerous built-in features, many of which may not be useful depending on the user’s needs. Should a feature be missing, the user often is expected to upgrade or buy a different piece of software.
Like out-of-the-box solutions, platforms also contain a large number of tools and functions, but they offer the possibility of customization and expansion when users need additional capabilities. Arendar, being a software platform, includes these options and facilitates customization through various methods. The Arendar API enables customers experienced in software programming to create essentially their own version of Arendar by programmatically accessing all the available functionality. Also, Arendar is built on .NET technology; features such as the data import service and Web portal (also known as the Arendar Dashboard) are extensible and customizable to look and behave like the customer requires. Extension hooks are available for adding data analysis and visualization capabilities. Although some of the customization requires .NET expertise, most of it is done through drag-and-drop and what-you-see-is-what-you-get interfaces, as is the case with custom report design.
Are there technical support programs for Arendar?
When purchasing Arendar, there are three options for customer support. The product comes standard with 30 days of technical support by phone or e-mail. The Standard Support Program (SSP) includes 6 months of technical support and 1 year of free product upgrades. The cost of the SSP is equivalent to 15% of the cost of system licenses. The Extended Support Program (ESP) includes 1 year of technical support, 1 year of free product upgrades, and a maximum of 24 man-hours of onsite technical assistance per calendar quarter. ESP online technical assistance is applicable for technical support, updates and installation of new software, creation and modification of custom reports and importers, optimization of data schemas, data backup, and system configuration. The ESP does not include travel costs, which are charged separately. The cost of the ESP is equivalent to 30% of the cost of system licenses.
How do I upgrade to new versions?
As with any enterprise software, such as SAP and Oracle, upgrading to a new version is not as simple as uninstalling the old version and installing the new one. Because the platform interacts and depends on multiple technologies and products, upgrading Arendar is a migration process that requires following a particular sequence of events to ensure the data is not corrupted and the database configuration is kept intact. For these reasons, we strongly encourage using the services of the VI Technology Arendar Integration Team to ensure that the upgrade process is smooth and efficient.
Why should I use Arendar when I can just install a database?
Databases--especially the major commercial versions such as MS SQL Server and Oracle--have made major advances regarding configuration, deployment, and maintenance. However, even with advanced tools, a database user still needs a basic understanding of how databases work, including SQL scripts, tables, keys, and database tuning and normalization.
Test engineers are well-versed in the devices they test and the technologies used to develop and perform the tests. However, test engineers generally are not interested nor have time to learn the ins and outs of databases. This inevitably leads to IT department involvement or the need to hire an IT expert. Arendar eliminates the need for database expertise while enabling test engineers to take advantage of all the benefits offered by having a commercial enterprise-class database system.
I already have a lot of data stored in a database and legacy files. How do I transfer my data into the Arendar system?
Arendar’s built-in data import tools allow you to incorporate existing data into the database. For generic file types, such as XLS or CSV, Arendar includes a wizard that readily imports data from most text file formats. If your application requires importing files in specific formats, Arendar provides software developers with access to the same internal application programming interface (API) used by the import wizard. Develop your file parsing application using any .NET language and push the data into the database using the Arendar API. Arendar lets you plug your application into the Arendar Importing Service that monitors a specific folder for new files to arrive. When a file is placed in the folder, Arendar identifies it and calls your custom application to import the data. This approach gives you complete flexibility in the way your data is imported. It also provides the benefits of an importing platform that polls for files in specific locations and performs fail-safe data transfer to the database.
VI Technology offers engineering services through our Arendar Integration Team to help you migrate data to Arendar.
What are the minimum system requirements needed to deploy Arendar?
As with any enterprise system, Arendar has various components. Requirements per component vary depending on your application’s needs. In general, data viewing stations should be running Windows XP SP2 or Vista and have either MS Internet Explorer version 7 or Mozilla Firefox version 2.0 installed. The Arendar server should be running Windows Server 2003, XP SP2, or Vista with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition, Processor license.
In reality, the minimum system configuration for the server -- storage capacity, number of concurrent users, desired throughput, need for redundancy, etc. -- depends on your application needs. Whether your system requires one server with one hard drive or more advanced configurations, such as RAID or SAN networks, VI Technology provides assistance to help you analyze and estimate the best hardware and software configuration to meet your needs.
Does Arendar work on 64-bit processors and operating systems?
Yes, Arendar is supported on 64-bit architectures and operating systems.
Does Arendar work on Microsoft Windows Vista?
Yes, Arendar is compatible with Microsoft Vista.
On what technology is Arendar based?
Arendar uses the latest Web, database, and software development technology to provide a state-of-the-art enterprise test data management solution. The Web interfaces are powered by ASP.NET technology. For storing and retrieving data, Arendar relies on MS SQL Server 2005. The data is sent securely and reliably from the test system to the server using Microsoft Message Queuing technology. The software modules that make up the Arendar platform are developed in Microsoft Development Studio .NET. The reporting functionality uses the Reporting Services component of the Business Intelligence Development Studio, which is included in the MS SQL Server license. The software modules that comprise the Arendar platform are developed entirely using .NET technology.
Data Analysis and Basic Math
Does Arendar perform Statistical Process Control (SPC)?
Arendar includes a set of the most-commonly used SPC functions. The following is a list of charts that Arendar makes available for report generation:
- Histogram chart
- Pareto chart
- Capability histogram
- XBar chart
- Range chart
- Individuals chart
- Histogram chart
- Standard deviation chart
- P chart
- U chart
- C chart
- NP chart
- Run chart
Can I add more analysis and SPC functions to Arendar?
As an extensible platform, Arendar enables you to expand the analysis capabilities by creating custom analysis components. Examples of these components range from custom software modules that plug into Arendar reports, custom ASP .NET pages that integrate with the Arendar Dashboard, or even custom LabVIEW applications that publish Web pages that integrate into the Arendar Dashboard.
Our Arendar Integration Team has ample experience expanding the Arendar platform. We would be glad to work with you to better understand your application and provide you the solution that best fits your needs.

Reporting and Data Sharing
How do I access my data and reports?
Arendar provides access to users who need to interact with the stored data, perform analysis, generate custom data views, and open reports in two ways:
- Web browser: Users access Arendar through Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox simply by pointing the browser to a URL or webpage location. When the browser opens, the user is presented with the options of accessing the stored data and all associated meta-data or properties, creating custom views with built-in basic math abilities and SPC algorithms and charts, opening customized reports with specific data sets, and creating a personal webpage view (My Arendar) that displays desired information upon opening.
- Programmatically: Test engineers create custom applications using any development environment that supports .NET to access the Arendar system programmatically and extract data from the database. The API exposes all of Arendar’s capabilities via a well-defined set of classes.
How do I control who has access to test data and reports?
Arendar is a secure, password-protected system. The Arendar administrator defines which users and user groups have access to different areas of the system. Arendar relies on Windows User Management for its security. The security system is very granular, enabling the administrator to determine which users have permission to store and view datasets and reports, and who has the ability to access the configuration and management tools. Whether interactively through a Web browser or programmatically, a user must have proper credentials to access Arendar.
Are the reports created through the Web browser?
The reports seen through the Arendar Dashboard are not designed using the Web browser interface. The reports are actually report templates created and saved with a link to the desired datasets in the database. These report templates are designed using the drag-and-drop interface of the Report Designer, a component of the MS SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence Development Studio. When a user opens a report template from the Web Dashboard, Arendar retrieves the latest acquired data from the database and populates the template with that data.
Can I use other tools such as MATLAB or Crystal Reports with Arendar?
Arendar is an open system, which makes importing and exporting data simple as long as the proper security credentials and access privileges are granted. With Arendar, users export data from the database into standard file types—such as XLS, CSV, and text—which are easily imported into other, more specialized tools given that most tools typically support these file formats. Arendar also imports data from text files through the Import Wizard without any customization. Additionally, the importing service is customizable permitting other file formats to be imported if the user knows how the data is formatted.
Will I have to change all of my test programs to use Arendar for my test data management?
If you have access to the program code, retrofitting your existing test programs to use Arendar functions that directly interact with the Arendar platform is easy. If you do not have access to the code or do not want to modify your test programs, an alternative is to use the data importing service to import files generated by the test system into the Arendar database.
Do I need to install Arendar software on every PC to access my test data?
Accessing data stored in Arendar does not require the installation of additional software. Users with a networked PC and an Internet Explorer or Firefox Web browser access data and reports simply by pointing their browser to a URL or Web address.
Will Arendar allow me to save reports offline?
Arendar lets you save reports as images, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and Adobe Acrobat PDF files.
I need Arendar to alert me when it detects a problem. Is this possible?
This functionality is achieved through a custom module. The Arendar platform is customizable to monitor specific data entries and generate alerts, such as e-mails, logs, or pager calls. Because the types of alerts vary for every project, VI Technology will assist you in gathering your specific requirements and propose a solution that best fits your needs.
Will Arendar allow me to access real-time data?
It is possible to extend the capabilities of the Arendar platform in order to monitor processes in real-time. This requires building custom software modules that monitor specific Arendar data and update a display with the most current information. Depending on your requirements, the real-time display would be accessed as a stand-alone application or a dynamic webpage integrated into the Arendar Dashboard. For more information, please contact VI Technology.
Does Arendar let me generate reports automatically?
Arendar enables users to schedule automatic report generation. Users specify time frames ranging from seconds to days and months. A snapshot report is generated based on a report template and the available data in the database at that particular time. These snapshots are saved in the system and made available through the Web Dashboard to those users who have access privileges to see them.
Licensing
How do I license Arendar?
In general, there are two options for licensing Arendar:
Processor License: Under this model, a license is required for each processor that is accessed by an operating system environment running Arendar Server software. The processor license does not require any client access licenses (CALs). For example, a dual-processor server would require two Arendar Processor licenses.
Server + CALs: Under this model, a server license is required for each operating system environment running an instance of Arendar software, as well as a CAL for each client device or user that accesses a system running Arendar Server software.
What is a Processor License and how does it work?
A processor license gives you the right to install any number of copies of Arendar Server on a single computer, as long as you have purchased processor licenses for all of the processors on that computer. If you have made a processor inaccessible to all operating system copies on which the Arendar Server software is installed, you do not need a software license for that processor.
In addition to the installation rights to the actual Arendar Server software, processor licenses also grant any number of devices or users the right to access and use the server software running on those processors. These access rights apply to all devices or users, regardless of whether they are inside the organization (intranet scenarios) or outside the organization (intranet or extranet scenarios). With a processor license, there is no need to purchase CALs.
With respect to CALs, what is the difference between a device and a user?
A device with a CAL (e.g. computer or test system) allows any number of users or applications to gain access to licensed Arendar Server software from that particular device. Users with a CAL gain access to licensed Arendar Server software from any number of devices. In other words, a user with a licensed CAL have the capability to access the Arendar server software from work computers and laptops, as well as from home computers, handheld computers, Internet kiosks, and other locations. A device with a licensed CAL covers access by multiple users or applications to Arendar server software from a single shared device.
Which licensing model should I choose?
Choosing the right licensing model depends on your specific situation, but here are some general guidelines:
Processor licensing is a better choice for medium to large distributed workgroups or externally focused server applications, such as intranet, Internet and extranet scenarios. Counting devices or users in these scenarios is often difficult, so processor licensing is more straightforward.
For environments inside the firewall where client-to-server ratios are relatively low, the Server + CAL licensing model is probably more cost effective. For environments inside the firewall where client-to-server ratios are high, the processor licensing model is probably more cost-effective.
How do I figure out how many CALs are needed for my particular application?
In most cases, VI Technology requires a CAL for every device or user that accesses or uses the services of the Arendar server. If you are unsure whether a CAL is required, contact your VI Technology account manager. Please direct inquiries to VI Technology sales by calling (888) 689-4415 or sending email to info@vi-tech.com.
