Lesson 3 – Introduction to the Software
With these functions, you can easily program your own test
methods that perform device specific tests.
Test Method in Test Suite
User Procedures
Like a test method, a user procedure is a customized test written
in C.
User procedures are a proven concept of the SmarTest software
and were already used in the Agilent 83000 Tester Family.
Test methods, however, cover the whole user procedure
functionality. In addition, test methods offer a range of new APIs
that let you use the full capabilities of the Agilent 93000 SOC
Series. Many mixed-signal tests in particular cannot be
programmed with user procedures, or only with a significantly
higher programming effort.
