16 How to Use the System Software Chapter 2
System Software Description
The Agilent TS-5400 System Series IIB uses Agilent TestExec SL and
system specific software to test the Unit Under Test. Agilent TestExec SL is
a test executive designed for high-volume, high-throughput functional test
applications. The other system specific software provides the
communications between the test executive and system instruments.
Agilent TestExec SL uses testplans and actions to perform the tests. The
actions are the building blocks from which the tests are created. The actions
are called from a test which are executed in a testplan. The switching actions
makes the connections from the system instruments, and/or loads on the load
cards to the Unit Under Test. The switching actions are built into Agilent
TestExec SL.
Both actions and switching actions are used in a testplan to run the tests. The
testplan automatically closes the appropriate pin matrix and load card
switches to make the connections, setup and execute the appropriate sources
and detectors, and return any test results.
The switching information and the instrument types used in the system are
located in the
system.ust file. This file is generated at the factory and is
custom for each system. It has the necessary information for the switching
actions to close the appropriate switches and for the other actions to
communicate with the system instruments. Instrument data in the
system.ust file can be generated and/or modified using the System
Configuration Editor (see “Using the System Configuration Editor” in the
“TS-5400 System Integrator’s Manual”.).
