Test Method APIs

Setup API
When a test flow is executed, all setup files specified in the Setup
dialog window of the Test Flow Editor are downloaded to the
tester hardware automatically. Then, when the test flow execution
reaches the test suite, the primary sets will be set and the test
method is executed line by line. An API for test execution (for
example, EXECUTE_TEST API) will activate the primary sets just
after the test execution. Therefore, you don't have to describe APIs
for activating the primary sets.
If you need to perform multiple measurements with different
conditions in a test method, you can change any data of the setting
conditions with Setup APIs in the middle of your program. In this
case, an API for test execution will activate the primary sets with
reflecting the changes.
To access the primary sets specified in the testsuite dialog of the
Test Flow Editor, there are data container specifiers for addressing
each primary set or a part of data. The terms to the right in the
following figure are the specifiers for each primary set:
Primary Sets
•Waveform Set
•Timing Set
•Level Set
•DPS Set
•Vector Label
•Analog Set
•Routing Set
Primary Sets and Related Specifiers
In the above figure, the routing set is specified in a program by
you, not in the testsuite dialog.
If an analog module is used for a test, you must do the following
two setup with Setup APIs before and after the test execution:
Activating and deactivating the trigger line of the analog module
•
Connecting and disconnecting the DUT pin to the analog module
•
The changes by the Setup APIs are not directly set to the tester
hardware. EXECUTE_TEST, START_TEST, or
DIGITAL_CAPTURE_TEST which is an Execution API, can be used
