Using Signals in TestDescription & Capability and a TestResults Example
Signal CaptureGenerating 1641 Signals from a Product Acceptance Specification (PAS) • Translation from the PAS to 1641 signals is reasonably straightforward • This is because PAS is written in terms of UUT • Extraction is a manual process E.g.: ‘MonitorSK2-F with respect to 0V at SK2-s and verify that the voltage is +5.0V +/-0.2V’ Translates into: PAS 1641 Signals <TwoWire name="TW1" hi="SK2_F"lo="SK2_s"/> <Instantaneousname="Inst1"In="TW1"type="Voltage"samples="1"nominal="5.0V"LL="4.8V"UL="5.2V" />
Signal CaptureGenerating 1641 Signals from Existing Source Code • In older ATPs, this is often all that is available. • Code, style & structure may be unfamiliar • Contain ATE specific information. • Extracting any large amounts of information manually is very laborious and, thus, prone to error. • Irregular structure and ATE specifics mean that automatic extraction of signals is not possible • Without standardised extraction, the test program is being virtually re-written and must go through acceptance.

Results Data Vs. Modelled Data • No significant differences found between the native and 1641 r.f. test results (Aeroflex)
Comparison of Effort • Typical Effort to Generate Parametric Tests in the Power/Frequency Domain (Aeroflex) Generate Native Test from General Documentation 1 month Port Native Test to IVI (TestStand) 1 week Port IVI Test to 1641 (TestStand) 1 Day (given the presence of the 1641 elements) time
Where We’re Up To • IEEE Std. 1641-2004 Signal & Test Definition • Signal-based test definition standard. • Requirement of MoD ATS Procurement Policy. • Utilised in areas of IEEE P1671 ATML. • IEEE 1641 implementation studies: • Phase 1 - Analogue signals/3 test platforms - Racal Instruments. • Phase 2 - Complex RF and a Synthetic Test Platform – Aeroflex. • Phase 3 - Digital signals/ test platforms - under negotiation. • Phase 4 – Parallel development; comparison of traditional vs. 1641.
Conclusions • IEEE Std. 1641 has been shown to be capable of defining: • Portable analogue signals, • Typical RF parametric tests. • Significant effort required to extract the information required to define a 1641 (platform independent) test, from an existing, non-standard or proprietary, test architecture. • Though not a unique approach, 1641 represents a departure from many existing test methodologies. • Training would address many issues. • No significant differences observed (existing vs. 1641) for: • Test results. • Speed of execution.
