Visual ATE Architecture
Executable Files:
Init.exe
1.Run on system startup and on Visual ATE startup.
2.Initialize the ASL test head interface card and the test instruments.
ASL.exe
1.Let user Analyze and manipulate data, communicate instructions
to the tester control program.
2.Communicate user action to the hardware control.
3.Create source files for the system compiler(Visual C++).
4.Create Visual C++ project files(*.dsp),complete header files(*.h),
and source code files(*.cpp).
ASL1000 Overview
Visual ATE Architecture
Executable Files(continued):
Test.exe
1.Control the test head instrumentation during component testing as
well as data collection.
2.Link to the compiled code(DLL) and direct the tester hardware to
test devices according to the test program instructions.
3.Use the Visual ATE system DLLs to control instrument calibration
and system events.
HandlerMgr.exe
Allowing user to create and manage interface card-based handlers.
ASL1000 Overview
Visual ATE Architecture
Windows library of routines and resources that links to the *.exe files
at run time.
All user-written code is complied into DLLs,Visual ATE has its own
system DLLs with hardware and interface controls.
