Introduction
Use the TSP advanced features to run test scripts in parallel, to manage
resources allocated to test scripts running in parallel, and to use the data queue
to facilitate real-time communication between nodes on the TSP-Link network.
Running test scripts in parallel improves functional testing, provides higher
throughput, and expands system flexibility.
There are two methods you can use to run test scripts in parallel:
Create multiple TSP-Link networks
Use a single TSP-Link network with groups
The following figure displays the first method, which consists of multiple
TSP-Link networks. Each TSP-Link network has a master node and a GPIB
connection to the PC.
