System Software Overview 11Chapter 1
Actions
The system comes with a set of supplied actions. These actions are used for such things as configuring
instruments, making measurements and prompting users for inputs. You can also generate custom actions using
the Action Wizard and an application program such as Visual C/C++.
The action directory path is:
C:\Program Files\Agilent\TS-5400 System Software\actions
Actions are located in the following sub-directories:
System.ust File
The 'system.ust' file is created at the factory with the appropriate module/instrument and wiring data according
to the system option. The file can be edited using the System Configuration Editor (see “System Configuration
Editor” on page 13) or the Topology Editor in Agilent TestExec SL.
The data in the 'system.ust' file consists of modules/instruments and instrument nodes (i.e., connections at the
32-Pin Matrix and Instrument Multiplexer Module), and other nodes (connections at the 32-Pin Matrix Modules
and Load Cards) using the Aliases, Wires, and Modules designations. The Module designations are used to
determine the modules/instruments installed in the system, and the Aliases and Wires are used to generate switch
paths.
A typical 'system.ust' file contains Aliases, Wires and Modules.
