Test Exec SL 8.1

Introduction

Keysight Technologies, Inc. TestExec SL is a test executive designed for high-volume, high throughput

functional test applications across multiple industries. This robust software empowers test developers

with built-in functions that will ultimately reduce development time and improve throughput.

These powerful functions encompass:

  • a fully customize operator user interface (OpUI)
  • an open architecture for multiple instrument integration
  • a flexible test sequencing
  • a set of easy-to-learn debugging tools and provisions for line integration in most manufacturing test environments.

TestExec SL boosts productivity, offers unique advantages for test automation and is unbeaten for

ease of use. With its modular architecture, you can use the high-level tools and powerful features to

accelerate program development and test integration with TestExec

An Integrated Test Development Environment

TestExec SL contains four inter-related tools in a single environment – all ready for you to kick-start your task.

Testplan Editor

The testplan editor allows you to examine and modify the contents of a testplan. In addition to developing tests and assembling them into testplans, this editor provides features for running and debugging testplans.

User Defined Sequence

With the sequence library editor, you can create and edit sequence libraries of your choice – local sequences or sequences libraries executed by a ‘Call’ statement. These user-defined sequences promote code reusability, allow better structuring and viewing of testplans and are especially useful when dealing with large size of testplans and/or multiple test developers.

Action Definition Editor

This is the main tool used for developing actions, the fundamental building blocks for creating tests. You have the choice of using the library of actions that comes with TestExec SL or you can program your own action code by using a variety of supported languages – C/C++, Keysight VEE and NI LabView

Topology Editor

The topology editor is used to define switchable connections and wirings located in a fixture used with TestExec SL. This makes TestExec SL aware of the hardware modules available as resources during testing.

Intelligent Architecture

TestExec SL links to other test systems and supports multiple applications to create a cohesive,

efficient environment for global manufacturing.

  • Supports Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (C# and VB.NET), Microsoft Visual Studio (C/C++),

Keysight VEE Pro, NI LabView and LabWindows/CVI.

  • Share test data with other Keysight test systems across all manufacturing environments.
  • Exports data in spreadsheet, XML, or Keysight 3070 formats.
  • Makes critical test information available to analysis package, allowing you to optimize the manufacturing process using actual data from test floor.
  • Provides a standard framework for interfacing with software applications used in other parts of your enterprise as well as those used by contractors, suppliers and vendors.

Library Reuse

TestExec SL’s architecture provides standard platform for creating, modifying and enhancing measurement routines for future reuse. Unlike traditional test routines, which may be incorporated into a single, large program. TestExec SL uses a modular approach that is easy to modify and maintain. Another benefit of TestExec SL is that it provides tools for administering the measurement routines library. You can easily define, search and modify the characteristics of measurement routines in the registration library, where those routines are accessible by other users as well. This reusability of measurements and libraries based on TestExec SL.

Switch Manager

Connections between various instruments and the unit under test (UUT) are not permanently

“hard wired” but are controlled programmatically via “switching” to effectively utilize the

resources. TestExec SL simplifies the switching programming through powerful Switch Manager  features.

  • Topology Editor defines switchable connections and the wiring inside a fixture with a logical node name that is easy to use and remember.
  • Switching Path Editor specifies the switching actions that tell TestExec SL how to control programmable paths during testing
