Description

The ultimate objective is to develop a suite of software tools and related databases that allow users to execute existing TPSs on multiple ATE benches, regardless of whether the original TPS was designed to work on that bench. To do this, the suite will include the Translator tool that translates TPS software from any common programming language (e.g., ATLAS, Visual Basic, etc.) into ATML. The ATML code will specify signal profiles selected by the Translator tool from a signal library that incorporates representations of all relevant signals from across the spectrum of DOD ATE. In addition, the suite will include two other software tools. The first, Reader, will extract required test data from human readable files and convert it to ATML. The second tool, Allocator, will identify the ATE that is capable of producing appropriate signals to execute a given TPS and identify which interface devices will be required.
