The scope of this trial-use standard is the definition of an exchange format, utilizing XML, for exchanging the static description of an Instrument. Instances of InstrumentDescription will be utilized in conjunction with instances of other InstrumentDescription in support of the execution of test programs in an automatic test environment.
The purpose of this trial-use standard is to promote and facilitate interoperability between components of automatic test systems (e.g., between a test executive and a resource allocator) where instrument descriptions need to be shared. This standard will also facilitate the description of tester configuration as well as synthetic/virtual/composite instrumentation. The InstrumentDescription schema becomes a class of information that can be used within the ATML family of standards.
New IEEE Standard – Superseded. This trial-use standard specifies an exchange format, using eXtensible Markup Language (XML), for identifying instrumentation that may be integrated in an automatic test system (ATS) that is to be used to test and diagnose a unit under test (UUT).
