additional test-oriented statements. BT-BASIC
testplans are used to control and manipulate the
board test system and to run tests on the circuit
boards.
■ Analog Test Language (ATL) is a set of special
statements used to make in-circuit measurements
on analog devices.
■ Vector Control Language (VCL) is a set of
statements used to write tests for individual digital
devices (in-circuit testing).
Quality Reporting Software
The 3070 program software includes a datalogging
feature and Pushbutton Q-STATS Quality Management
Software for reporting board test results.
Datalogging automatically gathers test data on circuit
boards, including board identification, failing
component information, and measurement data on
selected components. The logged information is stored
in files used by Pushbutton Q-STATS, that generates
informative reports which can be used to analyze board
production processes.
