A TPS Integrated Development Environment implementing IEEE1641 and ATML

Abstract

With the publication of IEEE1641 and Automatic Test Markup Language (ATML), high level solutions to instrument interchange problem can be accomplished in the near future. This paper introduced a TPS (Test Program Set) Integrated Development Environment (IDE), including a Graphical Signal and Test definition application and an ATML Executive Environment. Experiment shows the TPS IDE can reduce development time and maintenance of test system.
