"connect" test
The connect test is a User Test Module (UTM). KITE supports two types of test modules; ITMs and
UTMs. A UTM, like an ITM, has Definition, Sheet, Graph, and Status tabs. The operation of each
tab, regardless of test module type, is identical except for the Definition tab.
On the UTM Definition tab, the user connects the UTM to a user module located within a User
Library, and sets the module parameter values. This information is stored with the UTM when it is
saved. When a UTM is executed, the parameters will be passed from the UTM to the user module
and the user module will be executed. User libraries and user modules are created and managed
using KULT. Refer to the
regarding user libraries.
In this example, the connect UTM is connected to the ConnectPins user module in the Matrixulib
user library. ConnectPins has a total of 17 parameters. The first parameter, OpenAll, will cause
ConnectPins to open all matrix crosspoints before closing any additional crosspoints. It is a good
practice to open all the switch connections before making any new closures. Inadvertent switch
closures may damage DUT.
The 16 additional parameters are comprised of eight terminal-pin-pairs. As shown in
each specified terminal-pin-pair causes ConnectPins to make the desired matrix connection.
Because the instrument-to-matrix-to-pin connectivity was defined using KCON, KITE is able to
automatically connect the specified instrument terminals to the appropriate tester pins.

If a Pin parameter is < 1, the terminal-pin-pair is ignored and no matrix connections are
made.
