R&S EGTSL
The Enhanced Generic Test Software Library R&S EGTSL is part of an extension
to the Generic Test Software Library R&S GTSL. Using R&S EGTSL it is possible
to prepare and perform in-circuit tests. The individual R&S EGTSL software com-
ponents are arranged in individual layers exactly like R&S GTSL. The bottom
layer (device driver layer) of the R&S EGTSL contains the device drivers neces-
sary for the test hardware used. The test hardware is accessed using these
device drivers. The middle layer (library layer) of the R&S EGTSL contains the
ICT test library and the R&S EGTSL runtime library. The ICT test library provides
the functions necessary for performing the in-circuit test. Using the R&S EGTSL
runtime library (runtime engine) the internal R&S EGTSL program processes are
run. In this layer further information is passed to the resource manager library via
the two files
PHYSICAL.INI
and
APPLICATION.INI.
The various device driv-
ers from the lowest level are called from this layer. The top layer (execution layer)
contains the test sequences for performing the in-circuit test. The test sequences
call functions from the ICT test library in the middle layer. The function calls
include, e.g.
●
loading ICT programs,
●
running ICT programs,
●
debugging ICT programs and
●
the generation of reports.
The calls for the individual functions from the ICT test library can, e.g., be made
using a sequence editor (TestStand) or a dedicated C program. The top layer
(execution layer) also contains the R&S EGTSL Loader and the R&S EGTSL user
interface (R&S EGTSL IDE). The R&S EGTSL user interface (R&S EGTSL IDE)
is opened using the R&S EGTSL runtime library either by the R&S EGTSL
Loader or a function call from the ICT test library.
