6 Keysight N5990A MIPI M-PHY Receiver Test User Guide
A Appendix
3 Using custom drivers to control instruments that are not part of the
Keysight M-PHY Test Station (see
Chapter 2
, “N5990A M-PHY
Station Configuration”), for example, climate chambers, ovens, and
power supplies.
4 Saving the results of each test together with the actual loop
parameter value independently of the results from the other runs.
5 An overview of each run after the end of the test execution.
These features are provided by an interface called
IVFEnvironmentalControl. The definition of this interface is as follows:
namespace BitifEye.N5990A.Instruments
{
public interface IVFEnvironmenalControl
{
string UserLabel { get; }
void Connect();
void Disconnect();
string[ ] GetParamList();
string[ ] GetParamValues();
void Init();
bool SetNextValue();
void SetToDefault();
}
}
The interface has to be implemented by a class EnvironmentalControl in a
.NET dll named EnvironmentalControl.dll, which then needs to be copied
into the N5990A Files Folder. N59909A will load this dll and call the
function of the Interface in the following order:
Connect()
At startup, N5990A allows the implementation to load the instrument
drivers and connect to them.
