OSA-RTS
Open System Architecture – RunTime System (OSA-RTS) uses the interfaces and data exchange formats defined by both IEEE 1641 and ATML,
a software framework has been written to bring together COTS tools and test information, in an application that sees ATML Test Description through to UUT test pin.
Specifically, the framework is broken down into the areas of:
- ATML Test Description Importer – converting test requirements into a test program implementation carrying 1641 Test Procedure Language.
- 1641 Signal Translator – mapping test signal requirements onto test resource capabilities (making use of ATML Test Station Description).
- Signal Routing – connecting test resources to UUT pins.
- 1641 Test Signal Framework IDL Generator – generating a run-time interface from 1641 signal libraries.
- 1641 Run-time – implementing a 1641 runtime interface with calls to underlying test resources.
COTS tools have been chosen from three different manufacturers, encompassing test program generation, test signal allocation and switch path routing.
Each of these manufacturers has participated in the standards’ development and their products have been developed to adhere to those standards, to ensure interoperability.
Furthermore, since the software language requirements of the MoD’s Open Systems Architecture have been adhered to, the open source software that has been written to bind these COTS tools & data exchange formats is readily useable and able to be built upon.
