1. A system for tuning, the system comprising:
a test station comprising:
an imaging device;
a measurement device;
a robotic arm;
a rotary stage coupled with the robotic arm;
one or more measurement probes supported by the rotary stage and operably coupled with the measurement device; and
one or more tuning tips supported by the rotary stage;
wherein, in operation, the test station is configured to:
perform a testing procedure on a device under test received by the test station according to a testing algorithm in which the one or more measurement probes generate testing data indicative of one or more testing parameters of the device under test; and
perform a tuning procedure on the device under test according to a tuning algorithm in which:
a tuning tip of the one or more tuning tips is selected on the rotary stage; and
the device under test is modified by the selected tuning tip.
