Automation
Figure 17. Combine the power of built-in automation and extensibility to transform
your application into a complete test suite executive.
Figure 16. Remote Programming script in the Automation tab.
You can completely automate
execution of your application’s tests
and Add-Ins from a separate PC
using the included Remote Interface
feature (download free toolkit from
www.agilent.com/find/scope-apps-sw).
You can even create and execute
automation scripts right inside the
application using a convenient built-in
client.
The commands required for each task
may be created using a command
wizard or from “remote hints”
accessible throughout the user
interface.
Using automation, you can accelerate
complex testing scenarios and even
automate manual tasks such as:
• Opening projects, executing tests
and saving results
• Executing tests repeatedly while
changing configurations
• Sending commands to external
instruments
• Executing tests out of order
Combine the power of built-in
automation and extensibility to
transform your application into a
complete test suite executive:
• Interact with your device
controller to place it into
desired states or test modes
before test execution.
• Configure additional instruments
used in your test suite such as
a pattern generator and probe
switch matrix.
• Export data generated by your
tests and post-process it using
your favorite environment, such
as MATLAB, Python, LabVIEW,
C, C++, Visual Basic etc.
• Sequence or repeat the tests and
“Add-In” custom steps execution
in any order for complete test
coverage of the test plan.
