How do I get replacement equipment?

Advantest has two module exchange programs. The Normal Module Exchange plan enables customers to replace defective modules with one from their on-site spares kit. The Advanced Module Exchange program is for customers who need a replacement part. Advantest's Customer Engineers can help you decide which plan is best for you. Contact a Customer Service Engineer in your area.
