Much like the proliferation of different Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) within the DoD Services, there has been a similar proliferation of various programming languages for developing Test Program Sets (TPS) to be used on those same ATE. The use of multiple languages leads to a variety of unfavorable situations, including, among others: • Complexity of re-hosting software to new ATE • Difficulty transitioning...
A test program compliant with IEEE standard 1641-Signal and Test Definition (STD) standard has got two parts: the definition of the signals and the programmatic part. The standard doesn't define a programming language for the programmatic part, any commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) programming language fulfilling annex G requirements can be used. This protects the standard against obsolescence but it...
This paper examines the IEEE Automatic Test Markup Language (ATML) family of standards and some of the impediments which must be overcome to successfully implement these standards. The paper specifically focuses on how software tools can help alleviate these issues and increase the benefits of using these new standards in Automatic Test System (ATS) related applications. The ATML standards provide...
Two System Test Program Sets (TPS), Digital-Analog (DA) and Radio Frequency (RF) Calibration for the Versatile Depot Automatic Test Station (VDATS) were developed to semi-automate the process of Automated Test Equipment (ATE) calibration. Calibration for ATE in the U.S. Air Force (USAF) is defined as the verification of instrumentation accuracy by comparing the instrument to a known standard. The...
In response to the lack of common formats for documenting automatic test information, the Naval Air Systems Command led the creation of the Automatic Test Markup Language (ATML) to standardize the documentation and reporting of automatic test information. ATML defines classes that represent automatic test system (ATS) components, such as test description, test results and instrument description, and...
The lack of standards for automatic test information has stifled the development of more efficient and interoperable test systems to better meet next generation automatic test challenges. In response, the Naval Air Systems Command led the creation of the automatic test markup language (ATML) to standardize the exchange medium for sharing information between components of an automatic test system....
