Abstract
A drag-and-drop workflow editor in an Automated Test Equipment (ATE) environment to create coherent time domain aligned test programs. This includes graphical interface channel diagrams with channel headers, channel timelines, designer items defining test operations, measurement references and trigger references to define temporal relationships in a time domain environment.
Claims47
A system for providing user created test programs for automatic test equipment (ATE), comprising:
- a graphical interface display responsive to a user's interaction and/or instructions for producing ATE operation instructions wherein the display includes a plurality of channels representing coherent time domain timelines,
- a plurality of first icons available to the user from a plurality thereof representing channel headers, for application to the graphical interface display;
- a plurality of second icons available to the user from a plurality thereof for application to the graphical interface display representing different designer items for selected ATE test operations;
- and
- a test executive processor responsive to the graphical interface display for carrying out the selected ATE test operations in a coherent time domain manner.
