Kit de Herramientas en Software para Automatización de Procesos en Analizadores FREEDOM.

    Process Automation Toolkit Software Option for FREEDOM Analyzers.

     Introduction

• Process Automation Tool Kit (PAT) provides an innovative method to automate test procedures for the Freedom range of communications analysers.
• For many years the Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) environment has required engineers to have two major areas of expertise, intimate knowledge of the device under test (DUT) and software programming skills to automate test procedures.
• Over the years many control interfaces were developed, such as HPIB, GPIB, EEE488, USB, RJ45 for example.
• These interfaces are coupled with many software control packages such as HP Basic, Basic, Fortran, Atlas, C++ to name but a few.
• Instrument drivers were developed to somewhat simplify and speedup software development by reducing the need for the test engineer to learn each and every command for multiple instruments. These may be coupled with software devolvement tools such as Labwindows, Labview, Visa Plug&Play.
• PAT enables the test engineer to develop test procedures by a simple and intuitive control interface by simply selecting from a library the function required and insert into the DUT test script. No programming skills are required.
• Connection to the analyzer is RJ45 Ethernet, either directly from a PC or over a LAN network. Test scripts are executed from the PAT control interface and test results saved to USB of a network location.
