LabWindows driver BN 3038/95.99
Simplifies creation of remote-control programs for automated testing
using LabWindows.
The drivers can be used with options BN 3035/91.01 and
BN 3035/92.10.
Test Sequencer CATS BASIC BN 3035/95.90
The Test Sequencer is the ideal tool for rapid, simple adaptation and
automatic performance of complete test sequences on the ANT-20SE
(CATS = Computer Aided Test Sequence). This saves time where
repetitive tests are required in the production, installation and
monitoring of SDH, SONET and ATM network elements. The
comprehensive test case library includes solutions for various appli-
cations, such as BERTs, alarm sensor tests, jitter, offset and pointer tests
and monitoring ATM quality of service (QoS) parameters. Once
created, test sequences are started with a single mouse click. A report in
ASCII format for documentation purposes is compiled during the
measurement. All test cases are predefined and ready to run. They can
also be easily customized.
More information is found in the data sheet ªTest Automation and
Remote Controlº.
Test Sequencer
CATS PROFESSIONAL BN 3035/95.95
In many cases, especially in Design Verification, R&D, Regression
Testing, Manufacturing and Conformance Testing it is not sufficient to
automate a single test set. Rather, the software application has to deal
with a number of test sets from different vendors, and in most cases it
is also necessary to include the `System under Test' into an automated
setup.
The CATS PROFESSIONAL package is designed to make it easy to
integrate the ANT-20SE into such test environments, by making
existing CATS test routines available in such a way that they will run
not only in a self-contained manner, but also as ready-made `plug-ins'
into the customer's own test solution.
