R&S IC-Check
Using Generic Test Software Library R&S IC-Check it is possible to prepare and
perform tests on pins of ICs or other mounted electronic circuit devices. The indi-
vidual R&S IC-Check software components are arranged in layers exactly like
R&S GTSL.
●
The bottom layer (device driver layer) of the R&S IC-Check contains the
device drivers necessary for the test hardware used. The test hardware is
accessed using these device drivers.
●
The middle layer (library layer) of the R&S IC-Check contains the R&S GTSL
IC-Check library. The R&S IC-Check library provides the functions necessary
for performing the IC-Check tests.
In this layer further information is passed to the resource manager library via
the two files
PHYSICAL.INI
and
APPLICATION.INI
. The various device
drivers from the lowest level are called from this layer.
●
The top layer (execution layer) contains the test sequences for performing the
IC-Check tests. The test sequences call functions from the R&S IC-Check test
library in the middle layer. The function calls include, e.g.
– loading ICC programs
– running ICC programs
– debugging ICC programs
– generating reports
The calls for the individual functions from the R&S IC-Check test library can
be made using a sequence editor (e.g. TestStand) or a dedicated C program.
The top layer (execution layer) also contains the R&S IC-Check Loader and
the R&S IC-Check User Interface which is opened using a function call from
the R&S IC-Check test library.
R&S IC-Check includes the following parts and programs:
●
R&S IC-Check test library
●
R&S IC-Check Loader
●
R&S IC-Check User interface
