Velox™ is FormFactor’s unique software suite for 200 mm and 300 mm wafer probe stations. It is the universal standard for semi- and fully-automated systems, enabling seamless communication between the user and more than 15 different platforms.

Velox reduces total cost of ownership by minimizing training efforts and providing faster time to robust and reliable data. As a key element of FormFactor’s exclusive Contact Intelligence™ technology for autonomous operation, it allows the user to perform measurement tasks faster, safer and more accurately. Velox enables safe and fast wafer loading, easy test automation and measurement system integration, while preventing costly damage of probes and probe cards throughout the entire measurement cycle.

Velox is installed on more than 2,100 FormFactor probe stations. Strong customer relationships and continuing advancements make Velox software the clear leader in probe station control.

New in Velox 3

Velox Dash™
A Modern Touchscreen-Based Interface for Intuitive Probe Station Control

FormFactor’s new companion device is here! Velox Dash™ enhances probe station control by providing access to the most used functionalities with just a touch of a finger. With its modern user interface, Velox Dash sets a standard for easy-to-use operation of engineering probe stations. The companion device combines an intuitive touch interface with an adaptable workplace. Additionally, Velox Dash consolidates the functionalities of hardware joystick and eVue remote control into a single platform. The novel Velox Dash’s user-centred design makes daily work a gratifying experience.
Velox 3 offers new skins and icons User-centered Design with New Icons and Skins
For a modern look-and-feel we introduced a new color concept. All icons were thoroughly redesigned and are now better identifiable. Still, they are at the same place as before and instantly recognizable. Process- and safety-relevant information – such as the contact or the different stages in the Control Center – is clearly highlighted. Additionally, it is now easier to distinguish between application icons – such as Spectrum or SetupTool, and functional icons – such as AutoAlign or Light on/off.
