[0002] With the rapid development of technology, memory chips are widely used in consumer electronics, information and communication, automotive electronics, and high-tech fields. In the process of memory chip manufacturing, chip performance testing is an indispensable step. However, in practice, the chip performance testing equipment on the market is currently insufficient in terms of intelligence and handling of details.

Next, when using chip testing equipment to perform electrical performance tests on the chips on the chip board, the identification code information on the chip board can be identified first. Then, the corresponding MAP diagram can be called according to the identification code information, and the chip testing equipment can be controlled to test the chips on the chip board according to the MAP diagram.
