Inserting the ITMs
The next step, after inserting Device Plans into your Project Plan, is to insert the ITMs and UTMs.
This manual discusses and illustrates ITM insertion before UTM insertion. However, depending on
your needs and preferences, the reverse order of insertion (or a mixed order of insertion) may be
advantageous.
You can insert an ITM into your Project Plan in two ways:
• From scratch: as a completely new, unconfigured ITM to be customized for your
requirements.
• From a test library: as a previously defined and configured ITM, either to be used
essentially as-is or to be customized for your requirements.
Both ways are discussed in the following paragraphs.
CAUTION
Table 6-3
Shared and unique characteristics for same-named Project Plan ITMs
Characteristics that are shared between all
instances of a Project Plan ITM having the same
name. A change of one instance changes the
definition of all instances identically.*
Everything on the Definition tab for the ITM,
including the following:
• The instrument selections for each instrument
object
• The instrument settings for each selected
instrument (the configurations implemented using
the Forcing-Function/Measure-Options windows
for all device terminals)
• All Formulator formulas*
• All Timing settings
• Exit Conditions
• Output Values
• The Speed selection
• The Mode selection
* Some changes to an ITM result in the deletion of all Formulator formulas.
NOTE
6-58
If you need to insert multiple instances of an ITM under the same name, be
sure to first read Inserting multiple instances of a library ITM using the
same name later in this
An ITM can be inserted into a KITE Project Plan and attached to any target device,
subject to the following rules:
The number of device terminals required by the ITM must not be greater than the
•
number of terminals of the target device.
• Each terminal name required by the ITM must be present on the target device.
You cannot insert ITMs under Initialization Steps and Termination Steps in the Project
Navigator.
